You are correct. He was interested then dropped out. Looks like Crockett's coach is coming home to Boone. This might open up an opportunity for another coach to return home.

East Tn has to be Coalfield and University bearing any crazy upsets or injuries.

Interesting since they played in Gap’s neck of the woods lol Grainger will be a good test. Think they have Cherokee tonight.

NG and Betsy went back and forth for most of the game. NG went on like a 19-0 run that separated them a little. NG isn’t bad but don’t really have a true point guard. Miller played well and the two other guards had some success but I foresee some great battles between the landers and rangers.

Yep it sure has been. I’m excited for some basketball. I haven’t heard much from around the program but NG should be pretty good. Lost the Bailey girl which will hurt but miller and head could have a big year. Not sure if anyone new has joined or not. Just hope everyone can stay healthy.

Grainger struggled to beat Claiborne so Cosby should roll them at home. They’re 4A but extremely bad. They would finish 4th in region 1 1A this year.

As long as none of them get upset by weaker team…. If midway beats Harriman they’ll be 4-3 Harriman will be 4-3 rockwood will be 4-3 should be a 3-way tie then with all winning against each other. First tiebreaker I believe is most wins which would put Midway at 7-3, Harriman at 6-4. Rockwood at 5-5

NG has a tough matchup this week. Williamsburg has won several championships in KY. They’re similar to Hampton except out of the spread. Should be a good measuring stick to see how much NG has improved. Just hope everyone stays healthy on all 3 teams so we get a good look at it. Cosby has Hancock, Jellico then a bye week and then makes the trip up the mountain to Cloudland, doesn’t get much easier than that before the big showdown.

So by your logic, let’s get sunbright in the weight room all offseason and they’ll beat Cloudland? If you knew anything you’d know that cloudland’s coach was not happy with their commitment to the Weight room this offseason. I can guarantee you NG and Cosby had great commitment because their coaches wouldn’t allow anything else. It’s more of a matchup thing in region 1. If Cloudland ran the spread then they would be in a dogfight multiple times in their region, but they don’t because they can’t and they know the other region teams struggle to consistently stop power run teams. It has zero to do with commitment especially when the Highlanders probably had less of it than most of the teams in their region. Cloudlands always going to be physical and tough no matter how good they are and that’s why they’ll always be the favorite until proven otherwise.

That is why we need to pump the brakes on Cosby. Claiborne beat Union County by 7 and Cosby only beat Union County by 6. Cosby hasn't played anyone that can tackle or is physical. The team from NC that beat them is not very good. They are much improved but the thing that has plagued them and all the other region teams for years is being able to stop Cloudland's power run game. There are some really good coaches in this region and I am sure they can scheme up to stop their rushing attack, but having the horses to do it and for 4 quarters is the difficult part.

NG had two or three would be TD’s called back and dropped another one. Could have easily been 50+ points but didn’t work out that way. I’m sure Gap thinks they can win this week. Will be interesting to see how they respond. Cosby is riding high right now and if they’re actual contenders in the region then they should blow out Unaka.

They had like 10-11 seniors last year and most of them started.

Jellico seem pretty strong?

I would go watch Uppermans game on YouTube against greeneville. They were very effective
