  1. Upperman doesn't have a broadcaster. What about McMinn CENTRAL? Are their games usually on the radio? If so, help us out with a station!
  2. I don't think coaches "vote". They make recommendations and TSSAA decides. To my knowledge, TSSAA decided on Upperman because it is the most centrally located. And I think if we were having this discussion next year, no one would care!
  3. Very, very nice! /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />
  4. If Upperman plays like they did Friday night against Cannon, they will win. But you never know which team you're going to get. By the way, congrats to Upperman's Carrin Nash for signing with Bryan College last week!
  5. It's so funny to me how people get on here and blast 15-18 year old kids. In one post, they get all over theu for getting on the Godwin kid (which was very uncalled for), then in the next post, midtensportsfan calls two of Upperman's players not good. Calls them by name! I mean, can't we just have normal basketball conversation without putting KIDS down! Do you think these kids don't read this? Do you think they aren't affected by things you so called "experts" think and post? Hopefully, someone has told them that most of the people who post on here aren't very nice and considerate. I would just like to see some intelligence on here. Just my opinion.
  6. It won't even be close...Upperman by 25
  7. Upperman should beat Smith. LA should beat Macon. York should bean Cannon. But in this district, anything could happen on any given night. Should be three good games
  8. Misty Maxwell came from Baxter. Besides Dyer, Maxwell and Leonard are the other two best players. Take them away, and it wouldn't be a very fun game to watch.
  9. If Livingston had Brandi Brown, they wouldn't need a coach.
  10. Just a note here to say that Livingston beat Upperman in overtime by 3, and Upperman had an open shot that rimmed in and out to go to double overtime, so I would not say that they "soundly whipped" them. I do think Livingston has a good coach, though, but let's not forget they lost to York.
  11. wofrogge...how many Upperman games have you been to?
  12. I have been around for a while, and I have only seen maybe one or two games where a call made by an official has changed the outcome. While you can argue that calls are too tight or too loose, you can always find a place or many places during the course of a game where your team could have found a way to improve their play. Sometimes one team is simply better than another, but it is easier for our egos to place blame somewhere...either on a bad officiating crew or a coach or sometimes even a particular player. This is almost always unfair. Trust me, if these officials were the best of the best, they would not be officiating high school basketball here. Having said all that, I do agree that technical fouls are very inconsistent. What offends one referee, another one can overlook. Did anyone see the Upperman game against Macon Friday night? Upperman's coach got ejected early in the 1st quarter. It seemed like, from my view anyway, that he had said his peace, and sat in his chair where he was supposed to and shut up. And then out of no where, he was given a second technical and then ejected. Maybe I missed something. Any thoughts....
  13. But WHY is she out? Is she hurt? If so, for how long? She is a great player and very fun to watch!
  14. Do you really think it will be Smith Co and Upperman battling for the district title? Aren't you overlooking some teams?
  15. Is it just me, or is that bracket a bit confusing????
  16. Let me make sure I am understanding this thread....Warren County's coach was named Female coach of the year? Must be on sportsmanship and not coaching.Not that she is a terrible coach, but her team is not that good. I am very interested to see who votes!
  17. I saw her against Smith Co. last night, and she was unbelievable. She is just as good of a passer as a shooter. She is the real deal, and was very deserving of tourney MVP.
  18. Devilfanatic, are you saying that Coach Brown will base his coaching tonight on whether York wins or loses??? Seems like I remember the same type thing happening a few years back when he didn't want to be in the same bracket as Livingston in the region tournament. I always had suspicions about that. Do you know something I don't?
  19. Where can I find a schedule of games and times for the tournament?
  20. Upperman held her to 10 and her team to 34....not bad defense. I agree with Jimbo that a team cannot rely only on one player. She is good, but she can't do it alone.
  21. I think Oakland is a for sure #1 going unbeaten, and the horse race will be between Cookeville and White Co. This should prove to be a very interesting tournament. The great thing about this district is that each team has to fight each night. Any high seated team could be upset. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.....
  22. The other girl who played for Team Pride was Misty Maxwell who quit the AAU team then quit at Upperman and now plays in Jackson Co. Tisdale has improved very much and has made a huge difference for this Upperman bunch. They are going to continue to be good for the next couple of years. They have a good 8th grade bunch moving up as well.
