I believe he means Lancaster Christian but, surely you knew what was meant. Good luck to Riverdale and 7AAA. I believe Wilson Central can give your teams a game.

How's spring practice going?

You are lucky. You would have lost money the last several years vs. Gallatin. Anyway, just excited about the matchup next season. Just adding to the conversation and I don't see any Gallatin posters boasting by the way. Good luck to Mount Juliet the rest of the way.

Anxious to see Mount Juliet vs. Gallatin. Always a good game. I'm of course picking Gallatin.

Trying to finish before spring sports get going?

Let's be respectful here.

Beech defeated Gallatin 48-44 in a game Gallatin lead by 6 with about 3 and a half minutes left and let slip away. Gallatin will have to play much better to finish in top 4.

Thank you sir and I respect your wishes.

Is that correct? I understood that the victim was taken to the hospital and it was reported there before his transfer to another hospital for a specialist and surgery. Which coach went with him to the hospital? Surely someone called 911 at the cabin, right?

There is certainly some factual information presented but also perception and opinion in the newspaper and on this board hence it is sensationalized. You can not believe everything you read or hear. We are obviously not privy to all the facts. No one has answered my questions on here because no one on here knows answers. I'm in agreement, however, to punish those to full extent of the law that violate the law.

Please do not misconstrue any of my statements. If you have read what I have placed on here you would not respond in such a way. Let me add that by "sensationalized", the media has presented this information in a way that provokes public interest (good) at the expense of a accuracy (bad), not simply bringing it to light.

Prayers for the family and Commando Nation on your loss.

Bruce Ellington did it at South Carolina a few years ago. He started at WR and played special teams and started at PG.

Seems the media has sensationalized this tragic issue. Again, there seems to be more allegations and rumor than fact in the article. The coaches and AD will surely be fired and the school may not recover for years to come. I cannot imagine teaching, coaching much less being a student there now or in the next year or two with constant surveillance and scrutiny regardless of what type of person you are. I'm sure spring sports athletes as well as spring football will have difficulty during competition with opposing teams remarks and indentifing those kids with that incident. While I'm outraged at the handling of this by those in charge, what blame to the 3 culprits' parents share?

So this is a Spring 7 on 7? 2 of our 3 play spring sports. That sounds like a conflict.

I read the article. I am not buying rumors as truth, however, it is more plausible to assume a coach was with the young man at the hospital when reported and one coach back at the cabin. Question is did they call 911 or drive him to hospital. 911 would have recorded the emergency call which should describe the reported situation.

I know we had 3 of 4 kids from Gallatin to make the cut. Not sure how legit this is especially the expense.

So police report was 5 hours and 30 mins after incident from medical center? Did the coaches call 911 and he go by ambulance or did coaches take him to hospital?

Where were the tryouts?

Where are all the TC fans? Where is slim shady, snoball, etc.? Used to be several on here when we played last?

Tonight's Games Gallatin won over Portland Station Camp won over Beech

Thanks for the info. I am hesitant to condemn an entire school or community based on a few kids and delayed reaction of a few overseeing. It is a terrible incident and one that could have occurred it many places around our country. Although actions of administration seemed slow, I'm not aware of the information they had at the time of the incident including who did what and who was talking. An internal and police Investigation must have been started as reports came in. So where the three involved taken to jail that night or the next day? Did it get reported to the police that night or the next day? At the first hospital or second? I've read the articles but I'm not filling in the blanks based on perception. It sounds like the team -4 played 4 more games. I wonder how the coach handled this with his team in the aftermath during that time. I wonder how these young men processed this event and were resilient to represent their school and community moving forward during those games. I live 175 miles away and don't know the details but, I will say this: I am hurt for the young men that were abused, I am appalled a person could perform such a deviant act on another, I am angered by the process of justice, I am annoyed by those making personal condemnation of an entire school even relating recruiting to this matter of abuse, I am hopeful that the students, teachers and administration that have began this semester do so with a greater purpose, and finally I am encouraged that those with a greater purpose are not defined by this event but rally around one another to make a better school and community to live. I pray for all involved from every player, student, coach, teacher, admin, superintendent, board member, and individual in that community. I pray this event is a deterrent for any individual on any sports team at any school across our nation to even contemplate such an act as the worse form of hazing.

Gallatin couldn't pull off the upset but still improving with a young team. I'm proud of those boys tonight. Here's another stat for you: First 12 games the Green Wave were 11 and 1 against Station Camp. I certainly feel good about the next few years.

I don't know Coach Cook but I know all 3 Mason's mentioned. All have potential to play on Saturdays and who knows Sunday may possible. I believe Ponchez is SEC material. Jermaine has sat out his junior year due to transfer and needs to stay healthy for opportunities.
