Got to agree with roadrunner there kiddo!! Don't whine!! One I don't know about, but the other, well... Boyfriends come and go. Coaches usually have a good reason when they don't like your guy pal. It's very much the same as a parental attitude, and the coach deserves that same near respect. Coach puts a lot into you and your team mates that until your the one wearing the whistle, you will not even begin to realize. but I don't know you and it's not my place to judge. So, check out that web site, I hope you find a program that fits your bill and play the greatest game on HARD WOOD!!!!! Have heart and good luck. thumb

It,s also softball season sidetrain, and the girls are having to decide where their heart is this weekend. I was hoping the rain would decide for them, but I heard the Clarksville softball coach persuaded her team to show up hopping to play softball this morning instead of basketball. So the basketball team shows up with only five girls...OUCH!!! Out of thirteen....Those five that didn't back out have heart!!

Clarksville Wildcats lost their second straight this morning, but they didn,t seem to have near as many girls today as last night. They only had five players, no one to sub in. So, In seeing that I say the five that showed up did a great job. The coach seemed to have it well planned out with a 2:3 most of the morning and running an occasional man/man. Lincon Co. came out on top at 60 to 40?? I think.. but not without a good fight!

Clarksville High 16 and under lost last night to Dickson Co. It was a close game until mid second 1/2 then the Clarksville team quit playing.

Megan Hunter, freshman, Cheatham Central, 10-AA this is one to keep an eye on! thumb

Loosing Lawson has hurt Cheatham for sure, but they still hold the best talent overall. Don't know anything about Chester Co. I do know last nights game was off for Cheatham Central. Something was wrong with those girls. They wern't able to get shots to fall. Casey missing lay-ups. The only 2 pts. scored by Colman was in the last two min. of the game. Baines shot was off. Fast breaks and plays were set good, but there was a lid on their basket. Get it togeather lady cubs and play your game like I know you can!!! thumb

Harpeth gym is almost too small for cross county games. Bleachers are all but on the playing floor. you guys are right, that'll do has always been a problem. That gym should've been half agian as large. But, I see the Harpeth girls comming away winners tomorow regardless of where they play, they really had it togeather last night! GOOD GAME HARPETH!!! I still think the sectional game should have been played at a Cheatham gym. Reguardless of how you Harpeth folks feel, you are still Cheatham Co. residence, and not near as unique as some would want to think. DON'T HATE !! JUST PLAY BALL! p.s. rember to chear for your team harpeth fans ,and not aginst the other guys.

Cheathams gym should be avaliable to host the sectional for either team. If Harpeth wins this game tonight, and are unable to host at their gym, the game should be played at Cheatham Centrals gym. It would only make sense, let Harpeth keep the door and whoever keep consessions... band or jr. pro. One year when Cheatham girls hosted sectionals, extra seating was brought in from the baseball field because the crowd was expected to be so large.. It was a large crowd and the extra bleachers wernt able to hold the weight and fell in the last quarter of the game.... A truley awesome night! I predict Cheatham to scratch by tonight by 6 pts. This county needs to put an end to differences and put an all county all star AAU team togeather... The county could have a national title sitting in their hand with the team that could be compiled within the county!! Talk about chamber of commerce ad pitch...Think about that Gary and make something happen.

Well, I still think MVP should go to Ellis. She 's had a hard time deeling with the emotional tourture of a control 'em to keep 'em coach. That's the story i've heard anyway. As for coach of the year, Carr should be running a college program!

So, I havent heard any definate info yet that I know of. Who was it? MVP? Coach of the year? Someone tell me, I've been out of town and having to keep up with everything on this web site.

now, were at another strategy level.... I think #2 in this distric tourney gets to play Page first off in regionals? Has either Harpeth or Cheatham played Page at any time this season? Camp or invitational tournaments? And who have they (Cheatham and Harpeth) played that they may see from here on out to state??? And what were the game scores?

This game should be on ESPN or something!...Pay per view, even!! If both teams come out with the strength and determination we all know they have,then get ready to see the hard wood battle of the decade! I predict both teams to come out of the locker room with their game face on fire. Harpeth will take a quick leadin the first 2 min. Then Cheatham will soon reply with Batts dropping a couple of 3'sss from no where zone to catch up before the half. From then on it will be anyones win. Sorry, But now I need a couple of tumms or something just for thinking about it..

Sycamore won over Creekwood Cheatham wins over Waverly So. Who plays next?

I think you will see Ellis from harpeth on this ticket. She can realy shine in crunch games, and she is most always in doubble digitts, assist are great ,and rebounds . She's an awesome team player! thumb

Kristin Baines--Cheatham Central. This girl is tough.

Right on, Lady Tigers Mom. If a coach decides to bench a player for diciplinary issues, others should stay out of it. Parents have a right to know to know whats going on, but in most cases should stay out of it.

So punish every player, every fan, every parent for the screw up of who we can't agree on. That may be an effective way to get the team strengthened off the court, but the one being punished is the one being punished. real life, I don't go to jail or loose my license because my friend drove fast and wreckless. He was in control of the car , not me.

I'm beginning to understand a bit better now, thanks. I just didn't think the coach could do all that without being in violation of recruitment. I know if it got out a coach was going that deep into parents personal buisness he would definately be accused. Thanks agian!

It's not about points scored in an individual game. Coin flipis logical in this type of tie.

Good coment Mr. Clutch. If I was Waverly or Sycamore, I wouldnt want to play Cheatham Co. first in the tourney either unless I had to...Didn't know Sycamores key player was hurt...This could make a big difference in their game, because they were looking decent. Folks who don't know, should understand why Cheathams placement is so cruicial. Cheatham will most likely maul anyone in distric 10-AA except Harpeth, and vice vs. They are decently matched aginst each other. Folks should also understand, the girl for Cheatham that has been made ineligible to play is very replaceable on the court. Someone made the comment of her being the star player. Not the case at all...good player ?..yes ...star?..no. Cheatham lost two post last year after state tourney.. One of those two had equal time on the bench as on the floor.

Eazy there Courtside... "Eligibility report" on the player... Not a background check to see if the parents have been to the election office and changed their voting precent or the mailing address on their cell phone bill. Anministrations job.... yes it is...but which administrative office??...principal or board of ed??...I don't know. I still see most of the responsibility falling on the parents...And they apologized in front of mid. Tennessee on the news.

The coach can't be held responsible. There is a good reason for this. If the coach gives advice on transfering to his program, that coach would be in recruiting violation. I think i'm correct on that assumption? As far as what school your zoned for, that would be board office administration work. Those folks have truency problems to worry with. So, this situation is of low priority.

To my understanding they didn't make a complete change or "bonefied" change of residence. Meaning, though they moved their beds to a rented appartment?? They didn't move or change their mailing address on vital or considered important documents. The truth is, all info. is hear say on what they did or didn't do up to this point. We realy don't know what the concrete violation consisted of outside our own speculations. What we do know is this has caused animosity between two schools in the same county and ruled under the same government. That is a loss to both sides.

Can't say scared... Harpeth is not just good, they're awesome. I've followed these girls since jr. pro. They're nobody to take lightly, but if Cheatham has they're head in the game and plays with the determination I know they have, Cheatham will come out the winner. The animosity I've been reading about is just not there. These girls that don't see floor time in the game, do see their pratice contribution in the game and are satisfied and understand they have contributed and sacrificed as much or more than starters. It takes more heart and determination to attend every pratice and every meet giving what they all give and knowing their floor time will be less than 20 min. in the season. The starters are not so arogant either. They appreciate their team mates and realize the contributions made by everyone. Coach Carr makes sure of that. He has his faults, but he won't allow anyone to mistreat his girls. It's a shame the other program doesn't have that. They should be jelous.

gotta' go with mr. clutch! Harpeth and Cheatham will be 1st & 2nd. But i see Mont. Central as 3rd in a "clutch" game over Stewart Co. Tournaments are a different game atmosphere than regular season. Teams play different for some reason. I call it fight or flight time. I don't see both Harpeth and Cheatham at state. One will be out in the region, and that can be up in the air. It's all in who will meet who first.
