i've been apart of central teams, and i've whatched em for the past 10+ years. i can say this with 100% honesty. there is no way they will make the playoffs. they have an ability to underacheive. i'll take south tennessee high betsy and 4th is pretty much up for grabs i think but i'll go with east.

i'll take science hill by 4 in a thriller...78-74.

home cooking probably isn't the right term to use but the message is right........i didn't go to all of the games so i can't speak about any game other than centrals....the refs were horrible....gabe was gettin knocked down, dragged down, and shoved and no calls were being made.....i hope the refs for thursday are better cuz those from tuesday blew....and i'm sure the way the cougars played definatley fuels the overrated talk....but in the end its still W and thats all that matters.....just keep collecting those wins. db and central will be a good game.....it'll be tough...its hard to beat a team 3 times science hill found that out in district so we'll see what happens....speakin of science hill i'm pullin for them against ghs....lookin for an all big 9 final.....good luck guys.

i know ghs is good...no doubt....but thanx to lil mrs commex i'm pullin for every team that plays u from here on......i don't care if we do get knocked out...don't think we will..at least not in the early rounds....i hope u get demolished by someone so u will shut up.....u call myres a kid....ur the one thats acting like ur 3. let the boys play the game. u can talk all the trash u want but in the end it don't matter. its all about what happens on the court. so far central has taken care of buisness. if central is overrated then are u sayin that our entire conference is overrated.....and i know that just aint true. u better pray the cougars never face u cuz if they do.....u will have to deal with the rath of the rednecks.....incase u didn't know the crowd they bring IS THE BEST STUDENT SECTION AROUND! and u probably don't wanna meet them in a parking lot situation either....lol can't wait for the tourney to start should be pretty exciting.......GO COUGARS!!!!!! o yeah and go south...please beat ghs so commex will shut up.

central no doubt out played every team in the tournament....but this when they have to really get focused....from here on in there are no guarantees. i would love to see a big 9 final four next week but it will be tough for all teams involved....the cougars didn't beat science hill just by a fluke. they handled science hill the whole game. if it happens that chs has to play db or science hill i wouldn't put it past the cougars to beat them both.....sh is a strong team and are very capable of winning region. last year central lost district in 2aa then came back to beat the same team in region. it has been done before. i don't want to see it done but it might happen. but science hill will more than likely have to go through Greenville to make it happen. i wish the cougars the best of luck in region and if they can't win it i hope someone from the big 9 can pull it off.....good luck all.

i believe we play jefferson county tuesday.....i have to say i had my doubts but wow......wow....i'd have to say the cougars played their hearts out. i'm very proud of the guys. enjoy it guys u earned it...........i can't help it......how bout them county rednecks now.....takin down the city schools in back to back games.

yeah most def. the players should not worry one bit about Db but well i'm not a player so i can go on and on and on if i so choose. i just hope the central players are focussed. its goin to take another effort like they had tonight and probably someone stepping up for big points and D outside of the big 3, hess phil and gabe. nate has the potential to carry some of the scoring but the big thing is central needs to control the tempo. play their game not science hills......if the hill runs the show central could be in for a long night.......but what i think really doesn't matter it all comes down to the kids that play the game.....good luck central and good luck south

i'd love to see db fall to yet another county school go get em south

i'm very proud of the cougars.....it takes some real guts to play that hard for that long and come from behind as many times as they did....i would also like to thank souths fans.....i hope u guys beat DB it would be great to see them go down to 2 county schools in one week. that game was so amazing...words do not describe how great of a game both teams played just glad the cougars proved they can play at any level.

not always does a crowd change the game but when a player looks to the crowd after hitting a shot....yes he hit that shot but he is acknowledging the crowd is there......the crowd is in his head......if a crowd can get into a players head it does affect his game.....he tries to shut the crowd up.....he takes shots he usually wouldn't yeah he'll make some but not as many as he would if he would play team ball.........does this always happen? no....but it does sometimes that’s y myers is right crowds do affect the games. now on to more important news....sullivan central over DB in double OT......how bout them county rednecks now......both teams played hard. Game could have gone either way but central stepped up and made big shots and free throws when it counted most. central deserves this win and i believe they are peaking at the right time....gabe was unstoppable tonight....big shots great D....he did it all....i'm very proud of the guys....whole team had a great effort.....science hill here we come....can't wait should be a great game

last time i checked m.v.p. stood for most valuable player......gabe definately qualifies.....not sayin that there are not other players that deserve the honor as well....but gabe is the go to guy at central...hits 3's and if he gets position on the low block its money. the guy flat out plays as good as anyone in the conference he belongs in the convo for mvp. as for the student sections.....central is redneck....but the crowd definately has an effect on the game. last years central team may have gotten beat if they had to go on the road to get to the state tourney. i know they played at unicoi in districts but sub state was at central which the crowd definately influenced the outcome of that game. i can't wait for districts this year should be interesting...science hill is the team to beat but don't sleep on the little aa team that could....central is the real deal and don't be suprised if central and science hill meet on down the road.

that was a great game last night........really shouldn't have been that close tho.....central has to have some of the best fans in the state....they are redneck....but the some of the best....i don't want neone from unicoi bringin up the fight at unicoi like 2 years ago, thats old news and besides there's not proof as to who started it. neway.....i'm glad to see the seniors go out on top at home they deserved it. they are really playin good ball down near the end of the season. they're lack of size does bother me a lil near playoff time but if their shots are fallin from phil and hess...and u know gabe is money if he get position on the low block. it'll be interesting to see if the cougars can make another run at state. congratulations on the win.

i do agree central does tend to lose leads but sayin that hess and phil are wrong in shooting the ball is just plain stupid....i saw phil go 9 of 10 from 3 point at tennessee high tonigh......and i promise u he was not wide open all the time. and what hess does with the ball is amazing he makes shots that no one should have any buisness making i believe he had 24 at ths tonight...i don't care if he misses a couple if he puts up numbers like that.....yes he misses some but so does everyone else......i agree gabe is the real deal......a true all around player.......nate does have control issues but on the whole is a good player.....no one can replace mccoy's hustle.......the team is really comin together at the right time.......as for vaughn i couldn't agree more......he has had great teams that under even a good coach would have achieved far greater things than vaughn propelled them to...the one flaw i find in the cougars is a lack of size....the outside shooting helps hide this some but without a true big man its goin to be hard to make far in the post season

depends on how u define the best....if u mean the loudest crowd that causes the most chaosis for the opposing team......sullivan central definately qualifies.....hard to find a group of kids that are as rowdy as them

ok now when did i say central should have made the playoffs.....yeah they lost some close ones......but never in my post did i say that they should have made it.....hicks is not the real deal....i've played against him.......if he's the real deal how come 2-8 central can stop him.....and i don't care if u think i'm bringin u down.....if my posts bring u down i'm sorry that i rain on your lil parade.....i just say it like i see it. south is a great team....u guys did good this season i'm just sayin ur not goin to beat south.........if u want to complain a lil more about how i don't know the facts or how i'm complaining about central......go ahead......

as a former player i've played against sky......i've watched him from the stands....and i've watched central hold him every year.....yes i'm aware central can't win a game....but thats not what the discussion is....he's human and south will stomp boone into the ground......congrats boone enjoy it while it lasts

miller from sullivan central if he and the o line can stay healthy

i highly doubt undefeated.....central should be happy to just make the playoffs...which im not even totally sure they will do.

central lost more than 2 starters michael J hooks jordan kramer wes barbour seth jones wes millsap jeff beverly parker seabolt brandon farmer however they retained some very talented juniors......now seniors. the cougars will suprise a big name team this year. they could be a dark horse. i also believe south will be a good team...definately better than betsy and good challenge for tennessee high South THS Central JC Betsy north unicoi east

who will come out on top this year in the Mountain Lakes Conference? South looked very good at the jamboree and i wouldn't be suprised if the rebels didn't make a run at a conference title. i didn't get to watch tennessee high so i'm not really sure how they are looking this year. Johnson county looks as if they could compete for a playoff position. All is right in the world because it looks like East and Unicoi are goin to be the bottom feeders this year. Central looks to have a good running game and their defense isn't shabby. the cougars could be a dark horse this year. i wasn't all that impressed with Betsy......i see the final standings being like this....bare in mind this is only being predicted on what i saw at the jamboree and i know the coachs hold a lot back at the jamboree so my predictions are subject to change once the real season starts. South Tennessee high.....only because i didn't see them...they could be better than south johnson county central elizabethton north......didn't see them play either east unicoi what are your predictions?

how can there be sooo many freakin people on this team......why don't they throw in the waterboys...they were on the floor almost as much as some of the guys that got picked for honorable mention.

i'm not even going to try to say that yesterday the cougars played like a team in a state tournament. I believe anyone who was at the game would be able to tell you that one thing that plagued the cougars was a feeling that they had done what they wanted to do just by being there. In my opinion very few of the players if any believed they could win. That is bigger than any height, weight, or skill level difference. For those who say cougars didn't diserve it........watch more than one effin game. from whatchin the game before ours, i believe central could have played with and maybe beat either team, which niether executed or did the lil things like rebound and make foul shots. the cougars got to state because they had a great season AND THEY DESERVE TO BE COUNTED AS A TOP TEAM IN THE STATE! they just played probably the best team in state. bolivar is a great team and i wish them luck. to the cougars, great season, i hope its not another 20 years before we make it back.

i never expected anyone to give central a chance to win. however, in my opinion there is always a chance. all i want is for people to relize that this is a good team and they are every bit as deserving to be here as anyone. central has some really great shooters, if they get on a roll could keep the game close. i don't see central having a chance in the post game, but you never know. good luck to the cougars, and o yes the cougar crazies will most definately be there to cheer their team on.

what do u mean they have no business being their. my question is would u be sayin the same thing if it was alcoa, south green, unicoi.......... Central has earned the right to be considered one of the top 8 teams in the state of tennessee. anybody who believes otherwise is ignorant. central has proven time and again they deserve what they have gotten this year. no one from central is bashin bolivar so why do you feel the need to bash central. THEY EARNED IT GET OVER IT! central is a great team and i wish them and the rest of the field good luck.

hess is great player that COMES OFF THE BENCH. he would be a starter and a go to guy with almost any other team in the conference and probably the region. he has amazing rebound skills, not to mention the number of steals he gets. his shot is a thing of beauty. don't say u don't think he's not that good, when you've only seen 2 or 3 times. if u had watched him all year you would be singing a different tune. he gets great production off the bench, he is the best sophmore in district for sure.
