NotThatItMatters

My picks: Elizabethon Grainger McMinn Central Upperman Creekwood CPA Westview Haywood

Is this topic still about the best teams in East TN? Anyone have a change of heart after district tournaments? I'll go with this: 1. Morristown West 2. Elizabethton 3. South Greene 4. McMinn Central 5. William Blount 6. Bearden 7. Bradley Central 8. Hardin Valley 9. Union County 10. Gatinburg Pittman

Sadly the Elizabethton program as a whole will never be punished for Coach Dugger's cheating for most of his career. He will resign after the state tournament (which would have happened anyways because all of his talent will be gone) and this will all be water under the bridge. Next topic...

No, they put them on probation for cheating. They violated TSSAA rules, their principal confirmed. That IS worthy of reporting.

Maybe people question the character of your coach because he's a cheater? Just a thought. Wonder what the sanctions will be? Not enough, I'm sure.

Betsy was up 8 when Gatlinburg started fouling at the end. I predict no one in Murfreesboro comes as close. Good luck to them. For the most part, very hospitable and classy group. Again, good luck!

Oliver Springs and South Greene to state!

GP enjoys being pressed. They have very good guard play. The question will be if they can defend and rebound well.

That is not true. The point guard is Haris Price. The young lady you're referring too was not eligible this year.

What is the TSSAA rule on player ejection? If a player gets ejected in a Region Quarterfinal are they suspended for both the Region Semis and Region Finals?

Great post. I agree completely. Teams that are ready and willing to play should not be penalized because of Knox County. Should those athletes at Knox County? Absolutely not, but sometimes others are punished when administrators make poor decisions. This has also affected the Farragut district in Knoxville where the Blount County teams have been in a holding pattern waiting on the Knox superintendent. I guess that's region 2-AAA?

Looks to be a great district tournament!

Haris Price at Gatlinburg-Pittman High School should be heavily considered for AA Miss Basketball. She is easily one of the top point guards in the state. The heavily recruited senior is averaging the following: 18 points per game 6.9 assists per game 4.1 rebound per game 5.8 steals per game According to MPreps website (I know all teams don't report), she is the 8th leading scorer listed, leads in assists, right in front of UCONN signee Crystal Dangerfield, and leads in steals in the state.

That's awesome. Did Fultons big girl, McKinney, play last night?
