Our house was cheering for Dyersburg to bring home another gold ball specifically because of the respect and character displayed by your fans after the Upperman loss to Dyersburg last season. Win with class and lose with class. I think you’ve displayed both and have more than wins on a court to be proud of.

It is my understanding that many of the UC teams do not want their games broadcast by the Upper Cumberland Reporter. Either they feel it hurts ticket sales or they have other sources streaming their games that pay them for the right to do so. Some schools, including Upperman and Cookeville, want their fans and the players’ families to be able to watch the games, even if they can’t be there, without any concern for a loss of ticket sales or the ability to make money off of the streaming service. Most of the teams are discussed during the Fire and Vine coaches’ show and score updates that they have access to are given during whatever game is being broadcast that night. I am almost certain that if your area has a business or businesses willing to be the sponsor and the school will permit it, they will broadcast your games. The coverage that they provide is priceless to family members of players who can’t attend games for various reasons.

She was there for their second matchup of the season. Very talented young lady and a much closer game than the first.

I believe the stats for the last 20 years would definitely agree that it was Metzgar and there were a few others in those two decades that would have an argument for being in the top five too.

Chaffin has played for the Stingers since he was a pee-wee and has lived within a couple miles of the school his whole life. He’s one piece of a talented freshman class that has played together since they were six and who won a middle school championship last year. There’s no magic to where those kids came from.

Rest assured that Cookeville did file a complaint and the TSSAA did come and investigate Rollins’s legitimate change of address last season when he was a sophomore. Terrence has played all four years at Upperman. Cullum transferred in as a freshman and sat out last year because he had practiced with Cookeville in the summer of 2021. Any other “new” kids transferred in directly out of middle school. Looks like Upperman isn’t exactly the zip code pirates that Cookeville claims.

Connor York with 72 in 2013.

Games are sometimes shown on the Upper Cumberland Reporter Facebook page, but I haven’t heard which game they’re doing this week. Our players each only got two tickets because they also gave two to cheer and band parents and total seating for the home side is limited to 400. Many of our kids’ families are in the same situation and would like for the game to be live streamed. Our stadium is nice but undersized for a 3A school with almost 800 students.

Not sure if the count is fall of 2020 if Upperman will grow that much, but the current seventh grade class at the middle school is supposed to be considerably larger than any before. That should mean fall of 2021 would put enrollment in the range that is currently 4A, but with open zoning in the county, anything is possible.

Same. I don’t care if Alcoa recruits their entire team. We are playing Sequatchie ‘this Friday night and that’s the only team that matters this week. Who are the playmakers? What are their strengths and weaknesses? It’s late in the season, any significant losses due to injuries? The Bees have had some season-ending injuries that have had a big impact but have had younger kids step up and fill in the gaps.

This one is for the region championship - again. The Bees have one loss to an undefeated Livingston 4A team and no losses in the region. The Indians have one region loss to the Owls. Thoughts on how this one will go? Does playing in Sequatchie give the Indians an advantage?

Watched a lot of game film on hudl this weekend. Watertown has some talented athletes and this should be a great game. Wish we had a couple of the kids that we started the season with and lost to injury, but I still think it 's a pretty even match. Hoping senior night isn't a distraction to the team, but if anyone can have them ready, we have the coach to do it. I hope to see a good game that will help prepare both teams for a deep run in the playoffs - and I hope the Bees end up with at least one more point at the end of the game. GO BEES!

Thanks to the players, coaches and fans from Grundy County. It is always a pleasure to host you in Baxter. You have some talented kids with huge heart and they played all out the whole game. You should be very proud of your kids and their families. They are a class act.
