Elizabethton is E-town. I was just a little upset when I posted that but it is true. Their coaching staff should have called their fans down but instead they let them disrupt the matches. The disrespect for other teams have me wondering why I even go up there. It just amazed me how many times I saw bad calls. Where was the TSSAA and why didn't they have something to say when this was going on? Makes you wonder. OH well the big e lost my respect and worst of all they lost a loyal fan.

Tonight I watched the districts at E town. I only have one thing to say after staying quiet all season. SHAME ON YOU E TOWN. I expected much better than the unsportman like preformance that I saw. Bad calls and scraming by your fans where out of line. I backed you last year but this wasn't right.

Arrogant? No just seen to much here. You have to admit we are on the bottom of the money pole. Its not the players or in most cases the coaches but a lack of funds to hire trainers and yes even coaches in some cases. Example- I know of a coach in this district that was tough by their plays. I'm not judging just watching the game and the kids. My wish is they had the equal funds as the bigger scholls just to see their progress.

This Cox kid is one of the best natural, untrained players I have seen. Its just to bad the county doesn't put money behind their team. If these kids had a good coach and trainer he....meaning Cox... would be the best player there and headed to state. Its really a shame the people in JC must fight from the bottom because of money or should I say the lack of and concern for this sport. He was my pick to take this district but theres always next year. As for Chris Brumit... Good showing young man. Your the next number one if this district. We'll be watching you.

Well today I was disapointed and at the same time surpised. I watched what will be the next great player from this district. My pick for the district champ was beaten by a young Chris Brumit. This kid is the real deal and for the first time in many years I'm sending out a nick name for all those who must play this kid in the furture. The C-FACTOR is here. With what I saw today, this young man will be the one to beat next year. WATCH OUT CURTIS. District 1A/AA winers are 1. Brumit ETOWN 2. Brumit ETOWN 3. Cox J County

What is this.......You can't beat either of the brumits. I just came from your district games and the rank goes 1...Brumit Etow 2...and folks this was a BIG surprise. Brumit Etown 3...Cox Johnson County Queston for you? What happened to Trey and don't give me any bad draw excuse.

1. Brumit from Big E 2. Cox from JC 3. Clark from V 4. Wallingford from big E 5. Wallace from SC 6. The Exchange student at U. Not sure of his name. 7. Young Brumit from Big E 8. Vanzant from V

Trey will lose when he comes to big E. I have watched him play a couple times but he will lose if he plays any of the first liners in this district and even the 2nd and 3rd from big E. I.m not trying to cut him down but can see the talent stacked aginst him. Even Clark is much better. Someone made the remark that the coach had something aginst him but I just don't see it. What I have seen is the lack of fundamentals of the game from all the teams this year except maybe one. This isn't a player problem but "just bad coaching". Theres a few who would be much better if only the fundamentals of the game were drilled in deep. Most of the players we have seen this year lack basic's such as planting your feet, driving through the ball and using their heads.

As I said, Big E will win as a team. Brumit looked good for the first time this year. Speed is much better and looks in good form. As for Cox, he looked slow and slugish. 2nd meeting of these two was much better. Cox looked like his game is coming to him. Brumit looked good but let Cox get to him. Great match boys. See you at Districts. Amanda Pike we will see you at districts for sure. Form, footing, serve was better than I expected. Great job. Play your game and we will see you at state for sure.

As a team, big E will win but theres 2 matches that might be good. Top seeds in the singles are matched up very well. I watched these two play this year and their both good. One of these will take the district but both looked a little off their games with Central. Brumit wasn't even close to his speed of last year and Cox acts as thou he's walking on glass. Foot work is off. As for the top girls, Pike will win but it might be fun watching the new kid at JC.

Heres one for you. Back in my day the schools ordered their own tops and bottoms. There wasn't any one company or companys so most just looked at how much for what and thats the way they went. Our coach ordered our pants from who knows where. We got them onr day of our first match-up. My first match told the whole tall. I went up to serve but my pants wasn't ready. I got the ace and on-lookers got an eye full. We later found out the bottoms were to have support strings. Thats why they were so cheap.

In a lot aways I agree with you. I watched him play the other day. His Mind isn't in the game or somethings not there yet. But as I said before even with him playing all the time I'm still looking at 2 years for his game to come to him. He should still be fun to watch and that's the best part of this game. I have to say Centrals first seed impressed me. Brumit isn't a pushover but this kid put up a great fight aginst him. Better than we expected by far. Will have to watch this young man the rest of the year. Wonderful Surprise

Thank you for the info. We will be watching them. Where is this News paper if you don't mind me asking?

What is your schools largest blunderest blunder of the past. Come on now. Tell the truth. I'll tell you a few I have found over the past years from coachs and news people around the area. Only the truth. No tall tells.

I did have question for Johnson County. answer here if you like. Have heard nothing of your girls team for the upcoming year. How about filling me in.
