Middleton in 1A and Adamsville in 2A are the odd man out...both will have long drives EVERY week.

Adamsville got the shaft!! Them boys gonna have to trade vehicles every two years with all them miles.

I compiled the list from memory...after your post I checked coachT strength vs. success, and prepsmax sites...we both were wrong...MTC and Fayette Academy were the two who might have a chance...Kings and MJ were way down the list...after the two I mentioned, Tipton Rosemark would have had the best chance...virtually none. I'm with BigEdMo...JCS would cakewalk to at least the quarters, and be favored to go to the semi's.

Veterans Day!!! Thank you veterans for keeping us free...things are taken for granted every day in this world...the freedom to do as we wish, and enjoy life as we have it is owed to you. God bless you and yours for what you have sacrificed in the interest of others. You have my utmost admiration and respect. . Game day...ok boys, you have sweated through practice, felt the sting of losing, and played through the pain...you've also felt the pride of a job well done. You know what is ahead...the team across the field tonight wants to send you home while they celebrate...give em four quarters of Lion football and may the best team win. Let Em Hear Your Roar!!!

Who said that they're not playing to win?

Logic says that it should have given the kids the confidence that they can play with anyone at their best...Having raised two through their teen's...logic goes out the window...LOL!!!

Coach Woodmore from Adamsville is a former TC player...would make sense.

1) Rossville Christian 2) Zion Christian 3) Grace Baptist Academy (not Knox) 4) Ezell Harding 5) Mt. Juliet Christian 6) Kings Academy 7) Memphis Catholic 8) Concorde Christian 9) Tipton Rosemark 10) Fayette Academy 11) Middle Tn. Christian There are eleven listed...MTC or Ezell might have a shot.

If you think that Milan is scared of anybody, you know less than your post's indicate. Of all the teams in the western portion of the state, Milan probably has the most tradition and best reputation from the teams who don't hand out respect to be nice. Go to an Alcoa thread and ask the goon squad...they have to respect no one, yet seem to hold Milan's program up to a level with their own. For some newbie to sling around words like "don't believe" and "scared" in reference to purple nation is moronic...they're not stupid in Milan...they know their football and how good Alcoa really is, yet would relish having a shot at them again. Same with CPA and CAK, both have had incredible seasons recently...ask some of their fans if they ever had the impression that Milan feared playing them.

There will be 16 teams total in DII 1A after this season counting JCS...10 of those the Eagles would beat easily this year.

Thanks Wildcard1...you guys never cease to amaze me, it's easy to be congratulatory when you win, but sometimes a loss really bites. Nothing but class from ALL the A'ville folks...players, fans, coaches...everybody involved. The Lions knew that we had to be virtually "perfect" to win, and for all practical purposes they were...if not Adamsville moves on and it's just another "moral victory" for us to keep it close. If we can play as focused as last Friday night we'll give anyone fits, just have to learn as much from a big win as some of the losses that improved the team. I hope that the kids keep playing up to their potential, or their performance last week will be viewed as a "fluke", when in reality it was the first complete game of the season. Glad to have the Cardinal nation in our corner!!!

Just havin' a little fun at someone's expense that strikes me as a little too uptight.

Just can't resist... (1) A statement is a declaration...when you and owlbooster went back and forth it was a debate. (2) When you introduced a new angle to tabulate the criteria, you challenged the validity of it as it was...debate. (3) You may or may not have intended to initiate a debate, but you entered willfully into it when your statement was declared incomplete by someone else. (4) This is the easy one...you said "I could care less" meaning that you do care...the proper term would have been I couldn't care less. I hope that you understand that this really is all in fun...good luck to your team also.

Nothing but respect for TC 3putt, and I don't doubt that you'll be back sooner than late...tradition!

I don't know if this is directed at my post or not, but all that I want to hear is the truth. If the coach altered grades in order for players to be eligible, he should be fired. If anyone else altered grades they should be fired as well. Here's what willie want's me to say...if ineligible players participated in games they should be forfeited, and the players declared ineligible for the remainder of the season. NEWS FLASH...school is about education...football is great, but that's not what the school exists for, and players not making the grades shouldn't be allowed to play. Now, willie...before you respond with the typical "you're just scared, and want us gone"...If you care about the kids from the school, you should be furious that the kids know that they will play regardless of grades...they are being cheated of their right to be educated, and used for the gain of the coach and school. Do you think anyone will care after they graduate that they can't find a job, or read, or comprehend insurance policies, or balance their checking account? On the flip side...if no wrong has been done by the coach or players...just stop it and move on!

At least they fired him before they announced his replacement...any takers that this wasn't a done deal a month ago? The new guy is set up to succeed with the move to DII...some tough teams there, but some marshmallows too...the record will look better, but will the team be better? Time will tell.

Something's going on and it's beginning to smell...if there's any wrongdoing, out with it and move on...if not, the principal who's behind this, the administration backing him, or both need to be held liable. Withholding information, ordering silence by the coach on the issue, yet suspending the coach without publishing the reason isn't working out in the best interest of the school system, and someone needs to do some damage control.

Posted an opinion on something that I thought was common knowledge, and old news at that...I can be wrong, frequently am...just caught me on something that I'm sure of, and that I think couldn't have been handled in a more cowardly fashion by the JCS administration. It was just changing coaches to them, it was Mr. Johnson's job.

Maybe you need to do some research before you make yourself look foolish. Rick Johnson absolutely positively definitely was the head basketball coach (just to make sure, I googled it). He told me himself what I've posted prior. I have no idea who replaced him, how exactly he came to be aware of it, nor does it matter. Legally JCS is allowed to conduct business as they see fit. Morally, Rick was one of their own, and you don't treat people that way if you have character...friend or foe. If it's time for a change, so be it...just go to the man and do it with some class.

Did I post that, or did you? I said that there was a coach hired to replace the basketball coach before he was fired...what I didn't say was that he did learn of the hire before he was approached by the administration for any reason...he had no clue.

You're confusing me...you're now debating about the definition of debating, and whether you in fact did debate without the expressed or implied intent to debate. You also mistakenly stated that the only discussion(debate) was the where and not the merits...yet you posted merits which I countered with merits from another player that was unrecognized as well, resulting in the debate. As far as you giving a rip about discussing (debating) the merits...that was the content of your original statement, so please make up your mind if debating​ discussing merits is off limits, and if so I request that you withdraw your original post containing merits and stick to the content that you are comfortable with. By the way...thank you for the concern as to the whereabouts of our school, as well as my fondness for mountains (you did say that you could care less, just not how much less). LOL...it's all in fun dude... the kid has some nice numbers, but only a few are nominated, and it's basically a year long popularity contest between "some" of the best. You mad???

This behavior is becoming the standard at JCS. Just my opinion, but I thought that the level of play exceeded the level of talent in most games that I saw, and that doesn't happen by accident. JCS took Scotts Hill to the wire last season, then knocked the #1 seed from region 5 out of the playoffs, without a whole lot of exceptional athletes (and I'm being generous). At least they haven't hired his replacement yet...basketball coach was hired there before the old one knew that he was not returning...CLASSLESS. Bottom line is that everyone can't win...if your region record improves, someone else's has to decline, and it takes time to build a program. Scotts Hill will graduate most of the skill positions this coming spring, and barring some divine intervention, we should struggle to get the wins that were there for the taking this season...you can borrow money on the fact that WE won't be looking to change coaches.

Who you calling academy?

Yes, I see that you know that Kimmel is from Scotts Hill, and that's because I mentioned that fact. You see how it's supposed to work? You start a thread from scratch, and when someone responds in a manner that doesn't necessarily align with your viewpoint, you go berserk! If you want to proclaim something without feedback, take an ad out in the local paper (maybe you won't have to be specific with the locals), but expect people to respond on here...that's what it's for. By the way...I love the mountains!

Would be potentially great...gate money would be biggest for McNairy and maybe Adamsville too...problem is that people can't act like adults...might be best to wait a few more years.
