Big game at Elizabethton tonight. It will be interesting if Unicoi can keep it close. If not it could be a one horse race in the Three Rivers Coinference and will help solidify them as the top team it Tri- County. I expect Hampton and Cloudland could have something to say about that!

Haven't heard fro E-town Sparky. Hope all is well.

Unicoi County beat Unaka in Erwin. A mild surprise.

Coach17 when will you start your rankings? It always stirs a lot of lively discussion!

Should be Elizabethton first with a toss-up for second. Unicoi County was hit hard by graduation, but should be competitive. Sullivan East and Johnson County should be improved. Don't know about Happy Valley.

You are probably right. I was assuming because of the caliber of players and the fact that they both transferred to the same school and won a state championship that it was a basketball decision. My bad!

How did they end up in West Virginia? Recruiting? It seems to me a girl from Webb ended up there a couple of years ago, then back to Fulton where she lives. I think its a shame that loyalty is a thing of the past. Travel to the school that can do the most for you. It's tough on the kids whos parents can't afford to go to greener pastures. It happens all over the state! Parents used to tell their kids to tough it out. These days the parents have a hard time toughing it out. Just venting!

Heard of any candidates?

Any truth to the rumor that the Farragut job is open?

Can't see it changing much!

I hope this is not true. Birchfield has done a great job and they looked like a good bet for the state tourney and a possible championship!

I feel that Len Dugger(Elizabethton) and John Fisher(Fulton) will use this as a good teaching point and have already moved on.

Was this not a summer camp practice game? They tend to get physical all over the state. I suppose the whole game was physical. Elizabethton has had a good program for several years and have been known for their strength and aggressive, physical play. Neither Elizabethton nor Fulton are in the same district as Alcoa and Alcoa and Fulton are rivals comparable to Elizabethton and Hampton so I don't see a reason for there to be "homers". I'm sure the fans from both teams would have a different take on the events of this scrimmage. Learn from it. Suck it up and move on!

Very hard to replace Tim Campbell-take your time-get it right!

Elizabethton won the girls sectional for large schools this year and Unicoi was second. Unicoi has won it twice in the last 5 years with two runner ups. Johnson City has also done well, they look like they could win a couple of state championships. I know Boone has more feeder schools and they have done a great job as has Tim Campbell.Tim has great respect among high school coaches and will be missed. As previously stated I hope Boone does win it all!

It is very hard to predict state championships on middle school talent. Much harder to win a AAA state championship than the Washington county championship but I hope you are correct.

Only time will tell!

I don't have any idea. He will be very hard to Follow!

I understand that Tim Campbell has resigned at Daniel Boone. I hate to hear it. He has done a great job over the years and his teams have been well disciplined and fundamentally sound. He has been great for girls basketball in Northeast Tn. and will be greatly missed!

I know he only had one national championship and one of the best winning percentages ever. Only time will tell and my opinion is it was a good hire.

Don't see it happening. Coach King has had great success at middle school, was an outstanding player on 2 state tournament teams, and bleeds blue!

Kerri King is hired at Unicoi County.

I don't think it is fair to say "coaches". I think a few lose their passion. Most lose the energy needed and retire or move on!

Didn't Powell have a girls coach named Walker years ago?

John Fisher at Fulton should be considered.
