I am an 87 grad of UCHS but now live in Athens. I have not had an opportunity to see them this year but pretty familiar with program. I served on the UC School Board before leaving. Coach Marty Sisco came back as an assistant (paraprofessional) to help his son Shane with the team. Antwan Coby and Marquis Weddle probably two of the top guards in the state. They have been able to handle most all opponents this year. Only losses were to Calloway County, KY and I believe Parkview out of Little Rock. However, they are playing in a really tough 7 AA region (Haywood County, Bolivar, Fayette Ware) and if advance then looking at Memphis team in substate (Raleigh Egypt, Mitchell). Going to drop to A next year due to enrollment (391 students). We had up to 600 when I was at UCHS. Many in community felt that standards were being lowered by going to A classification but competition will be tough next year (West Carroll, Lake County, South Fulton). This will be good for football program because of down years the last couple of years. Basketball should eat this up with freshman program going undefeated this year and Middle School program playing championship ball. Bright future for UC programs! thumb

Any word on the UC-Covington boys game?

It is great to see Union City back among the elite. I am an '87 UCHS graduate. I am sure some of that has to do with Coach Marty Sisco back on the bench. Shane did have a ton of talent coming back and many young athletes also in the mix. If they can make it past Haywood County and Bolivar I believe they will go back to Murfreesboro. Region 7 AA is by far the toughest in the state. Don't you agree?

OCCHS played Dyersburg over the weekend. Girls lost by small margin, but the boys were annihilated. Russ set the starters down the entire 2nd half because of lack of intensity. I feel bad for him because he was stuck into a bad situation.

Are you related to Keith Traverse? He was my coach during my first year of Senior Babe Ruth.

Hey OCCHSfan, I just recently moved to Athens from Union City and am a UCHS graduate (1987). Would like to here from you.
