How's the Webb boy?

Why is Anderson not playing?

Great win for the Bobcats! Great game to watch.

This was a great win for East Lit. It was actually the first time that our girls have beaten Hume Fogg. When we started getting some better players but moved down to Single A Hume Fogg's girls would not play us. Now all of the games are competitive. It actually makes it a rivallry.

Upperman won by 30. It was 5 point game at half an we quit in the second half. They have a good team. We are better than that but we are young enough that once they made a run we did not have the experience to draw from to get back in it.

It was the guys. They kicked our butts. I know they are young. I think they have some promise for this year and the future.

It was eight points. I don't think that would qualify as handily. The game was awful to watch! There were 50 fouls called in the game. Haislip is a player. Her outside shot needs to get some consistency. When it does, look out!

Franklin should have a good shot at the region. In fact the two best teams in the region IMO should be Franklin and Maplewood.

What happened to Coach Dickson that was there at East last year?

I like CA to win this district. I don't necessarily disagree with the last predictions, but I find it hard to believe that a Charlie Anderson coached team will com in last. I know what your thinking. NCS lost everybody. They did but the same could be said for them four years ago when Caden and those guys were freshmen.

East Lit will probably have their best team in school history for what that's worth. The key to the season will be how well they handle their non district schedule. This team has arguably the most tallent they have ever had. However, this team has the hardest schedule in school history X2. This team should make the region. They definitely believe in themselves after last year's run. After that it is anybody's guess. I think this year the first place team will have at least four losses. The league will have much more parity than last year. Hume-Fogg will be good this year as will Pearl Cohn. I give the edge to Hume-Fogg. Lipscomb will always be Lipscomb. They might be better if they don't have to rely on one player to do everything this year. Ezell, CPA and FRA will be able to compete with what they have based on coaching and having a system. MLK is where East lit used to be. They are looking for that one win that will get them over the (winning) hump and give them some confidence. The comments about streetball and the refs taking control are blown out of proportion. All teams have to adjust to the way officials call the game. If the officiating crew is weak a game can become rough, physical or even Helter Skelter in pace. The kids in the metro schools can get out of control sometimes, so can the kids at other schools. I have seen some of the plays that have been criticised in the past and most of them are nothing more than kids playing hard. This will be an entertaining year in 9AA. Good luck to everyone

Could someone tell me in terms of scheduling what would be important for a team to secure a wildcard birth (i.e. wins vs same class, wins vs anyone)? We will be 3A in football next year. I'm just a lowly basketball coach and I don't quite understand what will factor in to making the playoffs if you are not an automatic qualifier.

60Spartans, I saw a roster that had only 31 players for Stratford this year and 22 of them were seniors. Is that accurate? If so do they have a freshman team this year? I ask because I am wondering how will they compete if their numbers are getting that low.

I thought that the TSSAA said that schools could not have classes for basketball. My understanding was that the classes had to follow an approved curriculum. Am I mistaken?

Stratfords skill people are good. They will give Lipscomp some trouble. I still think Lipscomb will win. I don't think their defense will be as sketchy as Hillsboros.

I just wanted to give my thoughts on the game. First, congratulations to the Indians. It was a well played and clean game. We don't always see or hear what goes on down on the field. I have already heard from some of the kids about the quality of play. Second, the people of Sequatchie were all extremely hospitapal. Thanks to everyone there. I guess it was good that you had two ambulances available. We needed them both. Both of the kids appear to be okay. They will be reevaluated this week. Third, Your facilities were tremendous. Not only was the quality of your facilities top notch, but your schools location was scenic and a perfect setting for high school football. Fourth, the game. I felt good about our opening drive. After that, things became a struggle. We couldn't get off the field and when we did we would make an offensive mistake. We are an example of an inner-city school starting up football and experiencing growing pains. You guys are an example of a rural area in which football means everything and have just had a down stretch. I think you have a good young coach and are moving towards a good run. We will continue to make positive strides this year and look forward to being in the mix next year with a full varsity schedule. Good luck to Sequatchie the rest of the year and in the future. Thanks again for the hospitality.

That guy was a criminal.

I agree with you about Dillard and Smith, they are both very good players. The diference in those guys and Albright is that they both have better teams to play on than Albright does. I will keep up with the district this year and see how everyone does.

It may shape up to be Clarksville Academy and Houston County. I think they have the most talent. Heritage will probably have the best player in Albright.

AAA Franklin AA CPA A Culleoka

I think he is zoned for Stratford. He was one of several students that lost their spot at our school. Before you ask, no he will not be eligible to wrestle at his zone school or any other metro school.

Corey will not be back East Lit.

Prayers to the Well's family

It is possible to be ineligible for freshmen games if the school that you transferred from "houses" 8th graders and you play certain H.S. sports as an 8th grader. I thought M.S students could not practice with a H.S in the spring. They can only practice after school lets out for the summer. Isn't that part of what B.A. got in trouble for?
