  1. They have a new feature there that I just discovered. It is available to all subscribers. Coaches are given free subscriptions. Thanks for directing me there.
  2. There is nothing there yet, except for top returners based on performances from a year ago. I was hoping to see what people have done so far this year.
  3. Any teams look real good after the first couple of days of action? How about individuals? From what I have seen from the limited available information, it seems several events are in a down year. Throws are down, it seems. So are a lot of girls events. This looks like it may be a year for a surprise qualifier in several events.
  4. tennesseerunner is a great site to post results in. Could you post these results so others can see a complete list?
  5. The book is in need of an update, but it will give you correct contact info for the schools, even if the coaches are not up to date.
  6. I do not understand why you posted such an accusation then. Which team are you a fan of?
  7. Ooltewah is rebuilding this year. Seamster graduated, and so did Smith. They are very young. They have talent, but they are a season away from being a main competitor at state. They will win a lot of meets before then.
  8. It is too bad there is not more interest in track and field. Theres more participation, at least around here, than just about any other sport. And its pure sport. Just young men and women against the clock or the tape measure. Anyhow.....The Tenn. Runner site is a great resource for info you seek. Theres some sort of ranking thing, but it costs money to look. Some meets post results and some don't, but looks like last year, a Junior from White Station won state with 14.56. A 15.0 comes in 4th. There were 4 Seniors and 4 Juniors top 8 last year. Can't wait for the season....Thurs. @ DB. Hope to be there. Coaches can get a free subscription, I think.
  9. I also want to add that McMinn Central is not McMinn. That would be their county rival McMinn County. McMinn Central goes by the name "Central". I think using the wrong term may offend many of their fans on here.
  10. Just curious, but do you have a vendetta against Coach Morgan, or McMinn Central, in general? Otherwise, your comments are inappropriate on a board frequented by many HS players.We are talking kids, not adults. My guess is that you are one of the kids, too. Otherwise, you would not post as you have. I have no problem with the coach or his team whatsoever. I certainly respect their accomplishments. I simply stated my opinion about this one particular game and it touched a sensitive nerve or two leading me to defend my position. It's possible that there was absolutely nothing that could have been done to change the outcome of the game but I find that hard to believe. What's the purpose of a sports message board if you can't question strategy? Most of the time when the label "choker" is used, it is done by someone with an axe to grind. Most of the time, a team does not choke, but is beaten by a better team. If you want to talk about choking, then I would refer you to the undefeated Patriots against the Giants, a wild card team. In HS sports, it would be Maryville's football team losing to Greenback in the first round. For a team to lose to the undefeated returning state champs, it is not choking. I also agree with the strategy of keeping th pedal to the metal when ahead. I seem to recall other teams in professional sports playing a "prevent" defense, only to see the lead vanish and their team lose. Given this history, I will never fault a coach for playing the way that is working, and making adjustments when the score is the opposite.
  11. Here's a quote from McMinn's coach after the Westview game..."During timeouts in games like that, we don't make adjustments. The only thing I know is to tell them to keep fighting," said McMinn Central coach Johnny Morgan. Hmmmm, he might want to rethink that strategy. I guess my point is this...Do you believe there is such a thing as a team choking? If you do then how many points does a team have to be ahead in the 3rd quarter and end up losing before you apply the choke label...15...20...25??? It's just my opinion and other people may have a different one but this falls into my choke category...sorry. Just curious, but do you have a vendetta against Coach Morgan, or McMinn Central, in general?

  12. You must be one of th athletes. Coaches write better than that. Just messing with you. Good luck this season.
  13. There is a meet at Red Bank on the 29th.
