The problem is referees have zero accountability in their job performance. If they are terrible at their job, nobody in the TSSAA cares. Nothing happens. There is no punishment. But I don't know how you fix it unless you leave the TSSAA. Nobody wants to be a ref because of the difficulty of the job. Because of this, they're allowed to make whatever horrible call they want with zero repercussions. The TSSAA and the refs have the coaches, schools, and players bent over a barrel.

Michael Robinson from Elizabethton. He is averaging around 25 ppg on a 19-4 team.

According to CoachT scores, Cloudland had an impressive win last night over Unicoi County 94-81. Basketball can be a strange game. This is why you cannot go by scores. This week is a good example. Unicoi County beat Elizabethton by 20, Elizabethton then beats Sullivan East, Cloudland loses to North Greene and turns around and beats Unicoi Co by 13. All about matchups.

Unicoi was missing at least 3 players in the Cloudland game including both of their big kids.

In the Knoxville and upper East Tennessee area Fulton, CAK, Alcoa, Catholic, Elizabethton and Greenville.

It seems to be these schools every year. I'm hoping this is the year the Cyclones can finally get over the hump.

Robinson from Elizabethton put on a show down at the Heritage tournament this week from what I've been told.

who are the best teams and players in AA across the state of TN?

Hampton looks a little down this year from what everyone says. I've only saw them once. Is Cloudland the favorite now?

Elizabethton High School is having their 2nd annual Chik-Fil-A Holiday Classic Dec 27-30.

Michael Robinson from Elizabethton. He can shoot it from anywhere on the floor. He's averaging around 26 ppg last I heard.

It's going to be a tight one the whole way. With the way Elizabethton is playing right now, I wouldn't bet against them.

CYCLONES

Yep, Elizabethton and Greeneville.

It looks like Elizabethton is peaking at the right time as they have the past few years and have emerged as the top team from District 1. It also looks like Grainger has fallen off. Elizabethton and Greeneville when it really counts again?

Crockett will go back to being what they've always been after this season and I'm sure the Hilltopper fans will be happy to see it.

I think Crockett might be the first team from upper east tn. that can actually go to the state tournament and compete since Pitts was at Science Hill. What was that 1987?

SH won 3 state titles in the 90s. They were also in the final four a couple years ago (the year after Hale and Allen bailed on them) and let a title probably slip away there by blowing a double digit lead.

Elizabethton is probably better than Mo West but it would be a good game. South Greene is a few notches below these two.

Oak Ridge by 20+.

Rumor has it that DB is looking at a couple of up and coming East TN coaches.....

It looks like this is shaping up to be another battle between Greeneville and Elizabethton. Can anybody really give these two a run for their money when it counts? Elizabethton has played a tough schedule so far and had to replace Bowers a week before the season which has set them back. Will Honeycutt cement his growing grasp on the region with this rag tag bunch or will the returning talent of Greeneville and possibly Sullivan East be too much to overcome for him this year?

how are they going to be this year?

 

i saw they lost a close one to Crockett last night.

 

Whats Halls doing different this year than last if anything? I mean I know they go as Stetson goes , But are they still shooting it from 28'? Hampton is usually pretty good, but there a single A team arent they? Halls should beat them 99 out of 100 shouldnt they? I guess this is that one

It looks like Halls was missing a couple starters and another bench guy.

 

I know Hampton is 1A, but they're a lock for the state tourney this year. With the team they have this year and the guys Halls has out, its not a bad loss.

Ty Ryans- Cherokee

it will be a battle between East and Elizabethton. 2 very good ball clubs there.
