  1. You ALL make me laugh! Your all so smart, you figured out what my screen name was, WOW! PROPS TO YOU!!! But you are the ones who are ignorant! Almost every county school has at least 2 to 3 or even more Pride players on them. And there is not a single school I pass each day that my daughter is zoned for! My daughter is zoned for Christiana Middle school, but we dont live anywhere close by there. We live in the city of Murfreesboro. They were not interested in letting my daughter play basketball. Too bad for them, they lost out on a great one! And as a matter of fact, she is the only one who is a new student, and the most important reason for us to PAY for our daughter to go there is to have a better education and a christian education. Basketball is not everything in life, and believe me, my daughter doesnt need anyone to do anything for her to be noticed as a GREAT player. She takes care of that all on her own! There is not a single girl on the team at MTCS that does not live here. The reason we have a great team is due to better coaching and dedication. The skill level of most kids in all athletics at any school these days are much better than previous years. Its not worth wasting my time anymore discussing the facts with anyone who is only interested in false acusations and pathetic rumors. If your not happy with your childs level and ability to play basketball, then I suggest you either get them lessons with someone who can teach them to be the best player they can be or help them find something they are good at. Stop hating on parents that take the time to dedicate their lives to their children and their dreams! And if you dont have the money to pay for private school, get a second job to pay for your daughters tuition, like alot of people do and she can play with MTCS! If your not interested in that, then stop crying and wining and spreading false acusations to excuse the losses of other teams!!!!!
  2. You keep saying MTCS recruites. Thats amazing that a school could know that a child would be worth recruiting, as young as a kindergardener or a 3rd grader for a future Junior high team of 7th and 8th graders! If you really believe that, then ok. I think when rumors are spread and they sound good, it makes those rumors more believable. Dont believe everything you hear.
  3. Riverdale High ( but does not play for their team), 5'11, Wing (3) Thanks!
  4. The best AAU organization in the Nation is located in Smyrna/Murfreesboro. They are Tennessee Team Pride. The Pride organization has actually been given this honor and they definatly have earned it. They have produced some of the top players in college today! My daughter started as a 9 yr old after playing in rec leagues and dominating the court. She needed to have a challenge and to grow to a higher level with more experienced coaches and staff. She is now going to be 12 tomorrow and her team has as a 9 yr old placed 4th in the Nation and for the past 2 years in a row, they have won the National Championship! My 8 yr old daughter is about to begin her second year with the Pride and they love it! Good Luck and hope to see you there!
  5. Where can I get info on AAU teams in Murfreesboro for my 15yr old son? He is in the 10th grade, but wont be 16 until August.
  6. It is truly sad that so many people have to find so many excuses and "reasons" why the MTCS GIRLS MIDDLE SCHOOL TEAM is so great! If they had a bad team, not a single person would be posting on any website or writing in the newspapers about how they so called "recruited" bad players! AAU has nothing to do with school ball. EVERY AAU player has to attend school somewhere, and Im sure that they all play for whatever schools they go to. Private schools also allow all children to be involved in all school activities, no matter if they have any experience or not. MTCS has alot players on their team that would have never been able to play basketball at a public school due to not having the skills needed or wanted by most coaches. The coach at MTCS is one of the best coaches I have ever seen! He has the ability to train and create a wonderful basketball player, boy or girl. Maybe the problem with some of the coaches at the public schools are, they have no REAL experience to coach the game and some just do it for the extra money. If you want to be a GREAT coach and have a GREAT team, you must have a passion for the game, dedicate yourself totaly to your team and NEVER allow ANY excuses for failure! Its so easy to blame others for your failures because it makes you feel better about losing. Parental support is also a factor! When you find yourself playing the blame game, you will never succeed, and your behavior rubs off on your children. They will never learn to accept responsibility for their own failures (large or small) and will never learn that dedication and hard work pays off if you push yourself till the very end and never quit until you have reached the top! These girls were not born knowing how to play, and they have sacrificed a very large part of their childhood lives to be the best basketball players they can be because it is their passion. They never stop learning and always have GREAT sportsmanship, no matter what! When they see a player or team who is very good, they go meet them and compliment them on their skills! They dont try to insult others to make themselves feel better! Look on the bright side, one day your daughter might be playing in college with one of the MTCS girls and I garantee, that MTCS girl will always have your daughters back in any situation, on and off the court!
  7. The Junior/Middle school girls team at Middle Tennesse Christian School in Rutherford County has a record 37-0. They are a tough group of girls that shouldnt be left out of this discussion. They also have a great Coach, Cliff Coleman. MTCS beat Mt. Juliet both times they played against them in December during the Eagles Nest Tournament in Lebanon. Mt. Juliet is a pretty good team, Better than some others MTCS has played, but the scores speak for themselves. December 18, 2009 the score MTCS 64- Mt. Juliet 41. Then again in the Championship game, MTCS 60- Mt. Juliet 47. MTCS is a private school, therefore they dont get the same media coverage as other county schools, but when the College Scouts come around, I can say with 100% confidence, our girls will have no problem getting noticed then!
  8. I hope that sdawg is not trying to imply that MTCS won because they were the host of the tournament. The girls who play for MTCS work extremely hard each and every day. Their coach (Cliff Coleman) is a dedicated coach and strives to make each one of the girls the very best player they can be. Cleveland is a great team! They played hard and obviously have a great coach as well. It was a very exciting game and Cleveland gave MTCS a tough fight! For those of you that were not there, the game went into overtime and it was the most exciting game of the entire season! Props go to Cleveland!
