Why Hogeye? Why not pig bladder or cow tooth?

I have heard people from Livingston holler Hog-eye for years. Have even done it myself. Since all the LA people are for sure checking out CoachT this morning, someone please share the story about how Livingston Academy came to be called Hogeye. I'm sure the story has been on here before, but please humor me and other Plus+ members by telling the story again.

Coach Carlisle has been and still is an outstanding coach. The very fact that he has been at the same school for a long time is testimony to that opinion. In this day of player chasers, recuiters, AAU leverage, sex scandals and other unsavory incidents in athletics, Coach Carlisle is a solid example of a good coach. Coach Anderson has been successful where ever he has coached. He is respected by his players and his peers. Coach Petrone is the Billy Martin of middle Tennessee coaches. The improvement of his teams is immediate, but then he wears out his welcome, thus he has to move on. He has had several coaching addresses. And yes, I have dealt with all three of these men. None are perfect to everyone, but all three have pluses.

Bet my daddy can whop yo daddy! lol

Cheatham lost to Dickson tonight 48-38 at the Smyrna tournament.

Who coaches Bradford now?

Thanks for the info, Rial. Please don't call me "slick," however.

10AAA results from Friday night, December 21st: Improved Kenwood held on to defeat Portland 57-55 in the Hendersonville Tourney. Briana Coardes led the Knights with 18 points with 4 treys. Kenwood takes on Siegel today at 2:30. I hope they have their legal uniforms with them for this game. Rossview fell to Creekwood 43-25. The Rossview version of Red Hawks had trouble with scoring and turnovers. No Rossview player broke into double figures as Layne Rainey and Whitney Ford had 9 and 8 points respectively. Dickson County held off a pesky Waverly Tiger team 50-43 in Waverly. Kelsey Hamilton powered the Cougar offense with 21 points including 6 three pointers. Amelia Downs tallied a double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds while working her way back from three knee surgeries. Does anyone know where Norteast is playing during the holidays? I don't see anything on their schedule.

Friday December 14th schedule: CHS @ Henry County Springfield @ Dickson Northeast @ Kenwood Rossview @ Northwest

Scores from Tuesday December 4th: Northeast 61 CHS 50 Dickson County 62 Rossview 57 Henry County 65 Kenwood 55 Springfield 43 Northwest 34

Last night: Wavo over Stewart County 47-32 Creek Wood over Greenbrier 52-40 Harpeth over Sycamore 58-41 Cheatham over MCentral 52-39 Fairview? Cheatham, Wavo, and Harpeth victories are mounting up. Who's going to be fourth?

Very good, jimbo.

We are on our way, Sidetrain.

What was wrong with Felker and when will she be back?

Dang, ptguard12, you just made another list for us to have to consider.

Trying to rate high school players state wide or nationally is a crap shoot. There is no way to do it that will be fair to all concerned. It is just a guess at best. No one person or group could see everyone an equal number of times. These groups have to use word of mouth, articles, comments from coaches, surveys, etc. A prospect might be number one on a particular list and not even listed in the top 50 on another. It's inexact to say the least. Many of the lists are put out to sell something. They want to sell you a subscription, access to a web site, just get you to their site to view their sponsors or buy something else. Little Sally May from Central High is on a list, so I just have to have a copy of that list, is an example of such thinking. It is harmless unless taken to an extreme. It may be near that extreme on this topic. I hope not. I have seen many girls' basketball games and will continue to see many more through out the state and nationally, but I would come closer to rating third world military powers that getting an exact list of the best prospects. If the lists were so meaningful there would be less washouts and transfers at the college level. And how many times have you heard this: "She wasn't highly recruited out of high school, but wow, is she a player?" Enjoy the lists.

I read in the paper that Carlton Flatt is available. He teaches math. Most all schools are looking for math teachers.

In the first playoff round last year the Antioch Bears went to Dickson County and upset the Cougars. '07 has set up a rematch with the venue changed to Antioch. Will history repeat itself? Can DC return the favor from last year?

Dickson County is the third seed and will be going to Antioch. Ravenwood was the third seed out of 6 5A last season and made it to the Blue Cross Bowl. Ravenwood did get 45 yards in non game related penalties in the last few minutes vs. DC. The calls were two personal fouls and one unsportsman like conduct.

Congratulations to McEwen High School, Coach Nolen and his staff for making the playoffs out of a tough region.

How in the holy pigskin can Raleigh Egypt be in the playoffs with a 2-8 record?

Milan Folks, does retired Coach John Tucker ever come to the Milan games?
