I'll be heading to Red Boiling Springs tonight to watch my Bobcats.  Big game for both squads.  RBS coming off a 5 game losing streak.  Bobcats gave one to Trousdale Friday night.  Talent favors RBS, coaching favors my Bobcats.  If RBS loses this one, they may play Aaron Academy in an emergency game Thursday night to put out the fire.  I like Pickett in a close one tonight.  If Coach Smith was coaching RBS group we would get demolished.  Thank goodness he isn't.  I'll be wearing my Tennessee Orange tonight! Go Vols!

Gordonsville vs Trousdale.  I have no idea both teams cant give it away can they?

Monterey vs Clarkrange.  Should be really competitive, I like Monterey in a close one.

Clay vs Jackson.  Clay by 10+.  Clay is superior to everyone in district.

Good luck and safe travels to all!!!

 

Pickett vs RBS cancelled.  RBS boys have scheduled Western Ky Trailblazers in their place.

Save yourself the time.  Slowest pace of play in the state of Tennessee.  Make your eyes bleed slow.  They should change their mascot to the tortoises due to their pace. LOL  

This district really is a whirlwind. 

Gville beats my Bobcats.  Bobcats are a year away.  Gordonsville is the surprise so far pretty talented squad.

Clarkrange beats Jackson by 3.  Kind of surprised.  Pretty similar IMO.

Clay beats Monterey by 25.  Wow, Clay is really hitting their stride.

Tdale beats RBS by 30! is that right? I assume it is, just shocking.  Like i stated previously, and caught heck from a Macon County fan.  This team has immense potential, you have the most dominant player in Single A ball.  That's some Butch Jones type stuff.  Feel bad for those kids.   There were whispers Marsh was looking at going Private.

Early predictions tonight for 6a boys.

Clay vs Pickett- Clay in one that will be close for 3 quarters, Clay will pull away at end.

Trousdale vs Monterey - Haven't saw Trousdale play yet, ill take Montery since they are at home.

Gordonsville vs Jackson Co. - Jackson Co. in a close game.

RBS vs Clarkrange - as ive stated, RBS has just as much talent as Clay or potential i must say.  I will take Clarkrange, they aren't very good but will at least be prepared and in shape.  Clarkrange in a big upset.

How did the Jackson Rbs boys game go?  Pickett played the worst game of their season, I was not impressed with Clarkrange boys.

I tell you what I will do ,I will call Owens and asked him about Merrol Hyde game at school next week. lol Actually Aaron Academy boys usually pretty good team.  Last time I did Math 38 divide by 7 not 2 maybe in Pickett. RBS girls last 7 years 48 wins 5 yrs for Mckinney and 14 wins 2 years larry. Now that's playing in District 8a 5 of those years was very weak, RBS girls 5-36 against Jackson , Clay, Clarkrange and Pickett over that time .  Mckinney does good job, and Larry is Larry. Like I said RBS tough place to win every year,

You ever call and ask about Lay up Line defense vs Merrol Haggard?  Also how did Macon play friday night?

1. Clay Co. - Most Talent, Best player Woodcock.

2. Gordonsville - Surprise so far, got a feeling the falter down the stretch.

3. Jackson - Well coached, average talent.

4. Pickett- Dropped one they shouldn't have, Jackson coach had good game plan unlike last home game we played.

5. Trousdale- Dangerous if football players get healthy.

6a- Clarkrange - Not much talent, decently coached.

6b Red Boiling Springs- 1a to 1b to Clay in terms of talent.

6c- Montery- Shell of what they were last year.

Tirjan was best athlete at RBS , chose not to play basketball at Macon.  I think rushed for 1800 yards senior year,  I looked at 2002-03 season on RBS. They  beat Pickett 3 times including District  Championship game. Smith was coach at Pickett then and been gone at least 3 years no way still caretaker, Plus Owens coached a group all the way through 7th grade to 12th grade good in Jr high and guided them to Sub-State only one in School History no care taking  there. I will go one better guided Celina (Clay County now) to District Championship (beat Pickett) and Sub-State Appearance. Plus 25-0 Jr High Team at RBS State Championship only 1 in school history since want to use Jr. High. Good thing i Kept this years Basketball preview on Macon  County  Basketball Teams. Didn't know would need it for Owens. Plus he has lived in Macon County his whole life.         

Insane stat drop Tigerman.  Lets just not acknowledge Merrol Haggard Hyde dropping 100, and an average of 2 wins per year vs tssaa schools.

First thing Seth Carlisle played Jr, High at RBS  in 6th grade and was the best player on team and Michael Tirjan played Jr high at RBS. Those 2 transfer to Macon to play football.  So comparing Jr,High to High School is insane. Plus RBS in Jr high plays Deafeated, Hermitage Springs, Forks River , Union Heights, all these feeder schools in this area. RBS Jr High has only won 4 games total past 3 years. You trade those games in for Goodpasture , Pickett, Clarkrange , Watertown, Jackson. Gordonsville,Clay.Trousdale, Westmoreland ,Friendship,Macon,Smith Co. and XMAS Tournament teams on a yearly bases, that's a tough schedule for school with less than 200 students and limited in talent. Macon enrollment is 5 times the size of RBS (10-15 is Owens Career record against Macon not too bad I did some research).  Also Owens Coach coach Jr High years ago those teams were good and so was those same teams in high school.

You are a Macon County aficionado.  I've heard whispers the early year's of success were Coach Smith Pickett girls coach product and Owens was a caretaker but wasn't living around here at the time.  At least that's what has been said up this way.

Familiar with Carlisle as I think he was only at RBS for 1 year of JH.  Who is Tirjan? Did he play for Welch at Macon?

No, I didn't say best. I said gets more out of less. RBS usually  limited on talent and he seems to get them to play hard, solid on defense, and they usually control tempo of game. He coached some AAU for Macon and I attended some of those games and most of parents were impressed. Now I watched Marsh as a Freshman at Macon and only watched on NCTC since been at RBS. Marsh has developed more at RBS then he would at Macon. At least Owens knows to throw ball into post to 6-7 or 6-8 whatever he is now. It sounded like from radio that was working Marsh had 17pts in a row too start game so sounds like good game plan, If you sit in crowd at Macon most people think boys basketball is a train wreck. So that's matter of opinion on whether Marsh should have stayed or not, He already has scored over 1000 pts at RBS and RBS had just of good of season last year as Macon. One could argue 6A was better than 8AA last year. I wouldn't count RBS out over one game at Pickett. I just wished Macon and RBS would start playing again. 

Merrol Hyde scored 100 pts on RBS last year, so the defense comment is a little over reactive.  Did some research last night in terms of home school comment, and talking about weak schedule.  18-123 is RBS boys record vs tssaa schools over last 7 years! Mind blowing, being that JH boys were always competitive during that time.  Also, Macon is 4-0 in last 4 games vs RBS with a 241-159 scoring differential.  Welch does play tssaa schools as well.  Ready for District action tonight should be some good boys games.  GO BOBCATS!!

I agree Mrsports, I attended the Pickett-RBS game and was blown away by the kids RBS had.  So much dysfunction going on with that team by the looks of it.  The same group was loaded in JH without the Marsh kid.  Pickett did impress me, but RBS was a huge letdown.  Coaching played a huge part in that victory, hats off to the Pickett coach.  Clay is way ahead of anyone in that district though.  I will have to see it to believe it with RBS.  I know they were picked 2nd, but the standing on offense and shrewd behavior of everyone was hard not to notice.  Also none of the kids they had in JH look to be developed.  Welch has always developed kids at Macon, doesn't make sense for the big to go to that mess.   Just my 2 cents!

Looking forward to Friday, i will be at the Pickett Jackson game! Go Bobcats!
