After 3 straight state tournament appearances Lebanon, like most public schools, are going through a cycle of talent and rebuilding/reloading the past two seasons. They have finished 2nd in the district the past 2 seasons to 2 very talented Cookeville teams. Coach Barrett and the Devilettes will be a team to be reckoned with the remainder of the postseason as well as in the years to come.
Columbia has surprised a lot of people with their post season run, but they have stepped up in the big games when they needed to. English has stepped up big time, as has Parks and both seem to be good kids as well. They are as athletic as any team east of of Memphis. Cleveland is a tough place to go win any time, any year.
Good Luck to the Lions at the big dance.
Don't know much about A- going with CSAS or Humboldt
AA- Maplewood, Fulton, or Liberty
AAA-Should be an All Memphis Final with a Melrose victory, Surprise pick outside of Shelby County is Northeast.
AA and AAA should be great games- like I said, not taking anything away from Single A just don't know a lot about Single A.
Candidates-
Michael Voss Blackman Freshman Coach
Mike Holt Oakland Assistant Coach
Nathan Johson Riverdale Assistant Coach
Kevin Thomas Shelbyville Head Coach
Troy Bond Wilson Central Head Coach
Kevin Woodson Rockvale Middle Assistant Coach
12-2 Dekalb beat Coffee last night, to go 3-0 versus 6-AAA. 8-AA has 3 teams ranked in the top 10 in the state, Dekalb needs to petition to play up, they would be guaranteed to make it to region in 6-AAA, but have no chance in 8-AA. I will go out on a limb and say there has never been a year where a smaller district has so dominated a larger district like 8-AA has done to 6-AAA.
Great win tonight ladies, season sweep of Warren Co. for the first time since the early 90's. Anytime a aa school sweeps a aaa school it is a pretty big accomplishment. 10 wins in a seson for the first time in over 15 years. The entire community is proud of you and how you represent our town. I really wish Coach Cope would have had this group of seniors for all 4 years, you have reached milestones this year that were thought to be unreachable. We are glad to call you our coach. Good luck the rest of the season. Has anyone heard when the coffee co. game is being made up.
I think it has been 17 years since Dekalb Co. has swept Warren Co. in a season. Dekalb is much improved and playing very hard. 10 wins with 11 games to go, great job ladies.
Great job today ladies, good win over a aaa school. Played a very tough schedule @ the white co. tournament, faced 3 aaa teams this week. Keep up the hard work , i know that district win is coming soon. Most wins we have had in many, many, many years.
