Space, GROW UP. You got beat. Get over it. The 2 teams that deserved to be there were the 2 teams that won their previous playoff games. That is what its about right? Win your games and your in the championship. AC didnt win. They didnt deserve to be there. So grow up and get over it.

Point # 5 is exactly the point.With LCHS difficulty in scheduling,It would seem like a with some good idea for SOMEONE (perhaps Dr. Heath) with some SENSE to "encourage" co-operation and sportsmanship. I'm done Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

At least your not blaming it all on Lawrence County now.

Wow. FC must have improved alot. They look very shaky in the season opener against Oakland.

Didn't FC get beat by Lawrence Co. by 35? 8AAA may just be a toss up. Who knows?

You're right on that one. Shelbyville will run away with that district. Columbia may give them a little scare but no one else can compete with them. I'm interested to see how 8AAA holds up against 7AAA tonight!!!

I was just going to point this out to you. Franklin County beat Shelbyville 69-54 @ Franklin County.

Franklin County beats Shelbyville by 15 69 -54?

Unreal.

I'm just wondering since 8AAA was mentioned earlier. Can the top teams in 8AAA (Lawrence, Lincoln, Shelbyville) compete with the top teams from 7AAA (Riverdale, Lavergne, Blackman) or maybe even the weaker ones? I'm not downing 8AAA at all because I am a fan of the district, but it just seems as 7AAA is one of the top districts in state.

What do both teams bring to the table?

Here is what I know about the situation.

 

1. S'town and LCHS have not played since an incident at S'town several years ago between Coach McBee and Mickey Dunn. Coach McBee called out some LCHS fans for throwing ice on the floor and Mr Dunn decided that he would side with the students / fans that were throwing the ice and there was a heated exchange between the two.

 

2. The teams did play in the 21st district reunion tournament held at LCHS a few years back. The schedule worked out where SHS played two games in one day. Of course LCHS just happened to be the opponent for the second game.

 

3. Mickey Dunn told his coaches that as long as he was in charge that LCHS would not play SHS. Before you dispute, ask some of your former boys coaches.

 

4. Coach Clark becomes head coach and he calls SHS wanting to schedule games. SHS response was sure lets sign a 10 year contract to play a home and home. LCHS refused - LCHS had rather pick and choose when they play. SHS stance is that if we can't play every year we will not play at all- LCHS seems to only want to play when they feel they have the better team returning and SHS has been hit hard by graduation. Just play every year and let the chips fall where they may!

 

5. Richland Christmas Classic - Why would we allow someone else to get the huge gate if SHS and LCHS can't work the issue out to play home and home?

 

6. As for the comment about being afraid of the competition - SHS plays bigger schools every year, win some lose some. See last seasons Christmas Tourny at Father Ryan - Stratford, Blackman, Mt Juliet all AAA schools. SHS plays Lewis Co every year, Spring Hill every year, Loretto every year when they were AA, Lincoln Co, David Lipscomb to name a few from the last couple of seasons.

 

7. If LCHS really wants to play - play every year stop trying to dictate scheduling to their advantage.

 

Dispute, discuss all you want - LCHS is the reason there is not a home and home with SHS. As an SHS fan, i used to want the teams to play. I could care less anymore.

 

Our sucess on the court speaks for itself!

 

 

 

 

Actually it was Summertown who wanted to pick and choose what years to play.

1. Summertown and Lawrence County (boys) played each other two summers ago in Columbia. Lawrence County won by about 10 or so give or take a couple of points. But Summertown didn't have one of their best players (Harville). Would have been two outstanding regular season games if they'd played.

2. Loretto beat Lawrence County in the boys game at the "barn" last year. LCHS was way down but still Loretto won. When Loretto came to LCHS's gym, they were beat by 30 at least. Loretto graduated 6 or 7 seniors last year while LCHS graduated 2, which resulted in Loretto not wanting to play LCHS this year.

3. Yes, LCHS's student section is extremely wild, but that is the tradition of LCHS basketball. The students never touch the opposing players, they only shoot the ball when it comes right to them. Oh well.

4. Lawrence County doesn't want to play Summertown @ SHS because of the seating inside the gym. LCHS fans could jam the SHS gym alone, without the SHS fans. There's not enough room at SHS.

5. LCHS had to schedule Moore Co. and Wayne Co. because Coffee County moved out of district (2 games gone). Independence dropped them because new Coach (2 games gone). BGA dropped LCHS because of a new AD (one game gone). And then of course Loretto dropping LCHS (2 games gone). LCHS has had to schedule new opponents this year because of teams dropping them of geographic and management issues. Not just Moore Co. and Wayne Co.

The players would love to play these games. It's too bad that it can't happen.

Lincoln County hosts Lawrence County Friday night. Any predictions?

Great game, I have to admit i have felt like Clifton was alittle over rated, but last night although he play wrecklessly he is still a great player. I feel like Perry Co. has a great team and could go some places later in the year with a little more work. Good luck to both teams the rest of the year!

Over rated? Are you joking? I wouldn't call 29 points on one of the best teams in their district over rated!
