As mentioned in previous posts. payers going from one school to another within their county happens, but when a coach from one county ( or an AAu handler) spends more time at a different county's junior high schools and does in fact get a player to come to their school, that is , while not illegal, pretty unethical. I am glad , however, that it turned out great for the young lady who did what she and her family thought was best for her. It has happened and as recently as last year another player from Tellico was encouraged to do the same thing. That's why we don't schedule Central. As for last year Tellico played most of the post season without their second leading scorer until she cut a cast off to play in the Unaka game where she was, as expected, not near 100 percent. As mentioned in earlier posts Tellico and Meigs played for years but not in recent years this happens all the time and no one has ever accused anyone of ducking someone else. Must be a touchy subject for some. My original post was meant to give Tellico the same pr that other schools with similar records were getting for no real reason as it pertains to state rankings in class A. This early in the season (7 games) really no one has played that tough a schedule so early rankings are meaningless. That will change for some I realize. I guess we should be penalized for playing in a weak district. Would that make you happy? I will continue to post about Tellico Basketball in a positive way and would hope you would simply do the same for your school without turning to sniping about someone else. Stay positive and have a great season!

Lady Bears undefeated with wins over Wartburg, Oliver Springs, Loudon, Polk County, Sweetwater,and Sequoyah. Deeper and more experienced than last years squad that lost to Unaka in sectional. If young freshman talent gains experience and learns from older players they may be a team to watch come tourney time.
