It would take some real effort and good shooting to get SCHS to the state this year.

I've been to games all over the southeast but never seen a student section like Siegel. They RULE!!!!! This from a Northeast Tennessee fan that sees an average of over 100 games a year for the past 30 years..

1. Omar is good

2. But he is somewhat overated

3. He is still good!!

4. I will post again when I see him play this season.

5. He is good!

im a freshman vaulter for happy valley and i was just wondering is there a rule that says if you can get off the mat before the bar falls the jump will count is that true!!!!!!!!!!!!

please someone tell me

NOT TRUE!!!! The rule is that if the bar falls off due to contact by the vaulter it doesn't matter where you are when the bar falls it is a missed attempt. That is an old tale that won't die both in the high jump and Pole vault. Good luck in the future.

theres a girl from riverdale that should win state, with a 45' in the shot and 130' in the disc. she's no joke thumb

Does she have a name?? Where did she throw to get these marks??

That is the correct call but sometimes you won't get it depending on who is running the meet and watching for potential fouls.

Without seeing the infraction the way you described it would definately call for a DQ for their team.

5'4" maybe 5'2", depending on your section 5'0 might get you there.

That is a shame, considering that Science Hill has probably the best track facility in the area.

I would have to agree. At the state meet lots of times you have to wonder how did this kid qualify to get here, knowing that somewhere else in the state another kid is sitting at home who could have done better. The state meet needs to be a true sate championship with the best kids competing in every event. Most likely the same person would still win the meet but others would be given a chance at placing at the "STATE" meet.

Look out for Courtney Barnett in class A/AA she is the defending state champ in discus and will be very competitive in the shot put. And she is only a sophmore!

I also like the 4 x 800, around Kingsport there are a lot of teams that are low on numbers and cannot field either a 4 x 200 and some time the 4 X 800. I am really dissappointed at the level of competition in this area. Maybe since the weather has seemed to break everyone will pick it up a little. It's still early and the best know it is too early to push too hard.

How is the 4 x 800 team doing at EHS???

No one else runs a 4 x 200 any more. How long will it be before High Schools stop running it also????

Very few retail stores sell spikes. Try Eastbay.com. Huge selection for all events. If you run on paved surface don't waste your money on the ceramic spikes, they won't last.

As usual the coaches tried to please everyone. 10 from Happy Valley is a joke. Somebody needs to remind them that there are only 5 players on a basketball team. List 5 first team and 5 second team and let it go at that. If someone gets mad, so what. Carroll probably deserved player of the year but he disappeared when it got down to crunch time in the tournaments.

Will Bearden be coming to the Tenn. High meet on April 9th?

Ben Shodowski, Sullivan Central. 23'6"

Definition of Hess- Looks like OPIE, plays like Larry Bird.

GO COUGARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SEE YOU IN MURPHREESBORO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those rankings are mostly BULL. Central has beaten at least 4 teams ranked ahead of them. If we want to use the rankings let's all stay home and give the title to Raliegh-Egypt!!!!!

Win or lose when you make it to the State you can hold your head high because you are one of only eight teams that made it. Central has a good sound ball team with lots of depth. However they are getting ready to play a team like they haven't faced before. But look back at last year Bolivar wins in first round by 3, wins in second round by 3 in overtime, final was a blowout by 20. They didn't exactly walk through the tournament last year! If you have to play a great team I think you have a better chance to win by playing them early, mainly because of the 10 day layoff. Don't start shing that gold ball yet for Bolivar. There are other teams MLK, R-E, and Haywood who are very talented also. Central won't be intimidated. I hope to see all the Central fans in Murphy Center Thursday. Remember game time is Central time 12:15. I already have my orange shirts in the suitcase!! Good luck to Unaka and Tenn. High also.

In the famous words of Miles Lane---LET"S GET IT ON!!!!!!!!

Elizabethton all the way. They have all the weapons.

From a Cougar fan!

I saw Bolivar Central win the state last year. Cougars definately have their hands full, but who knows. I would have never picked Unaka to win it all last year. Cougars work hard this next week and get ready to play. It's the time of your lives so ENJOY it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also Go TN. High, and Unaka.

If Central plays a good game they can win this game . A sub-par performance will make it almost impossible to win.

My prediction is Central leads early but as usual lets Alcoa back in the game. Depth and the play of some "KEY" bench players help the cougars pull out a 7 point win if they make their free throws down the stretch.

Remember what Eminem says "You got one shot, don't miss your opportunity"

Take care of the ball on every possesion like your momma's life is riding on it!!!!!

My best wishes go to Unicoi and Central. A-E does not play a wide open run and gun game which is more typical of the Memphis teams. Coach Mitchell plays a more slowed down tempo with emphasis on DEFENSE. They are NOT unbeatable. So Unicoi play a smart game , hold turnovers to a minimum, shoot reasonably well, play solid defense and give yourdelf a chance to win the game. Central the same goes for you.
