So 6 public and 2 private in football but 3 public and still 2 private in basketball.... Does anybody know why?

The girls basketball program at East has had limited success until now, to say the least! In twenty years the girls team has made the Region semis 3 times until this year. Last year's team could have made it to the state if not for MLK being upset in the district semis and ending up in the same bracket with East in the Region. Funny, nobody complained about the magnet school that lost every game for two straight years.... These girls did a great job! They are talented and hard working and deserve all the credit! The Levy girl is awesome! I didn't think she played as well as she could have (east girls had something to do with that) and she still ended up with 19. She is going to be great! I could see East and Upperman squaring off in the state tourney again next year! Great year for both teams!

Which school is the host school for this tourney?

Terry Holt - 6'3" Senior, Guard East Nashville Awards: All District 10 AA All District Tournament 10 AA All Region Tournament 5 AA Tennessean All Mid-State Above the Rim Invitational All Tournament Terry has scored over 1,300 career points and will soon become the schools All-Time leading scorer. Terry has been to two State Tournaments and is averaging 19 ppg this year. Worth Considering! Thanks!

I just wanted to say, the people of Cheatham County were very hospitable and gracious. Which, unfortunately, is not always the case across the state. It was a great atmosphere! Coach Dawson has done a great job of turning things around! The kids at Cheatham showed great class and character! I expect they will be strong again next year and welcome to the region!

Who is Finley?

My thoughts and prayers are with the Bledsoe family. Good people in Fairview, I feel for you all!

CPA is the best team in Middle Tennessee in class AA. They have the most talent by far! South side sounds like a beast! Should be a great matchup if they meet! I won't be there. Don't underestimate the loss of Bradshaw. Turns out he was a lot better than I had originally thought.

Whites Creek is AA.

I agree with you in part. Those factors should definitely be taken into account. The principal has not changed at Stratford. I would still be interested in hearing what really went down at Stratford.

I'd like to hear more Coach.

The paper said MC was happy to get a coach of character. I don't know what kind of character that is when he is hired to do a job and resigns the first week of practice. I know metro takes a lot of critiscm for not hiring from the outside at times but this is an example of what can happen with outsiders sometimes. Good luck MC.

From the outside looking in; I saw CPA get beat in the state semis one year, lose to a good Wayne Co. Team in the sectionals the next year, the next year, they were reclassified because of the multiplier played up with one senior and a bunch of freshmen (excluding Z Mason). They naturally struggled.

It would be football regions and all other sports would use the three class plan as before. The only exception would be if someone came up with a four class system for all sports.

Awesome!!!

Score?

Congratulations McEwen and Coach Ross!!!

You know Sherrif you guys have a heckuva team and well you should. Don't knock the quality of basketball at these midstate schools. Good luck to McEwen! Glad to see Petrone is done too. There is some justice in the world.

Anyone that knows me, knows that I disagree on public schools and private schools playing in the same division. Having said that, congratulations to Coach Pickens and the Lipscomb team. Regardless of what type of school, we were outplayed and outcoached Tuesday night. Good luck to both teams!

After growing up in New York City and becoming the states only 4 time Mr. Basketball selection as well as leading my high school team to 4 state championships. I went on to become Duke University's onle 4 time All-American. After that, I was drafted number 1 overall by the Boston Celtics and then....... I know, stop. I am full of crap. I am a liar. Before any of you chastise me for wasting you time and printing wall to wall lies on here, none of that happened. Those of you that know me, know that I don't make things up and I don't lie. Whether you agree or disagree with me on an issue, you know that. I have just grown weary and have become fed up with a former "assistant" coach getting on here and spewing lie after lie. The last practice we had was at Belmont before the Bolivar game, my "assistant" coach was on the opposite end of the floor on the side court shooting baskets while we were practicing. He was not the worst assistant coach that I have ever had, but he does live in a fantasy world. He was in no way responsible for what we accomplished last year, the kids were! To all of the coaches that have helped me over the years, Thank You!

Thanks coach! Do you ever look to get back to coaching football? The last time I saw you, I thought you said you might be done for a while.

Word is wrong. I have laid low on a lot of topics and posts but you guys know that I support this school and this football team. There is a lot more support for football at East than many of you are lead to believe. I also expect with the changing evaluation process there will be a lot of transition with teaching spots. Last year, we lost 7 teaching positions. I don't think that will happen this year, so that can help with staff as well. It is a good situation with one down side, no on campus stadium. I can guarantee this though, the rest of the school staff jump in an lend a hand to make the home games run smoothly!

What happened to Coach Worsley?

Well, we missed three free throws, so we should have scored 16 points. Coach Spencer and the White House team did a great job last night! They have a good team and good teams do whatever it takes to put themselves in a position to win. It was not the type of game I wanted to play but those are the breaks. Our kids did a great job playing the hand they were dealt.
