So what happens if we can’t reschedule the game? Is Meigs awarded a win?

Looks like Bledsoe canceled if my info is correct.

I had heard this was the likely outcome yesterday.

Good to see you on ElGoat. You gonna make it tonight?

TBD. Might be close to game time decision. Lol. Been super busy lately with work. 

Go Tigers! Prayers for an injury free game tonight!

Who has been under performing,  brafley or mcminn??

Mcminn. 

Meigs and County scrimmaged a few years back. Meigs whipped them up pretty good if I remember correctly. 

McMinn hired Randy Casey. He’s been all over and has an quality resume. That young group is now juniors (with one nice senior) and they have almost no size. I’ve heard they’ve been less than impressive this summer.

Any Meigs poster manage to attend practice yesterday? Curious on your thoughts.

Was not able to attend but heard it went pretty well

We had a talented bunch of kids who worked tirelessly in the weight room to get better and change the culture. We also had a very diverse coaching staff that got every bit of effort out of every kid. We established a solid network of communication throughout the community so parents and kids wanted to play for the Big Blue. Most of all the community bought into what we were trying to establish. The greatest hurdle was trying to convince Englewood to join forces and establish a solid feeder program that benefited the high school. Whoever gets the job better be able to network, generate community excitement, establish a diverse staff, and work like his life depends on it. Just remember the group from 2007-2009 always worked hard, practiced hard, and played hard for the community, the only fault was a young inexperienced Coach Derrick who had never been a head coach. 

You certainly seem like a coach or administrator. Who’s gonna be the next hire?

On a side note from our old region.

Oneida's Lambert has resigned.

 

Wow. He’s been at Oneida for a long time. Wonder why he made the move?

McMinn County is open. Not sure who would be interested. I could see Jay Johnson being under consideration (assistant under last coach). Dark horse: Andy Pennington, HC at Sequoyah right now. Has kids in the McMinn school system. Not sure he would leave his alma mater though. 

His best chance was Tee Higgins senior year but Memphis East was just too much. Greene is a great coach. Don’t know if I’d take anyone over him. 

Pretty sure Johnny Morgan from McMinn Central is like 20 wins away from having 1000 career wins. 

Kingston is dangerous. Neal and Raymer battled foul trouble all game and they still found a way to win.

Kingston is a really good team that plays well together but size is going to hurt them at state.  #22 Neal is a great player but if you really think he is the best player you have seen in the Chatt/Knox area over the last 2 years then I would get out and watch more basketball.  Trey Marrow who is in the same district in my opinion is a better player and the likes of Jakobi Gillespie (Who Fulton's Coach Jodie Wright said was the best player that had played all season) and Reid Satterfield (5 star preps Sophomore of the year last year and was in the conversation for Mr. Basketball but Jakobi got the nod over him on the same team) are better overall players than Neal.  What Kingston does well is play really good as a TEAM

I knew that would ruffle some feathers. Lol. I watched Neal vs Morrow in the district tournament. Morrow is a great player, but I’m taking Neal. But yeah, I haven’t seen Gillespie and Satterfield. They seem like good players for sure. Are they at the state tourney this week?

Community has good size and long. Sounds like Kingston may have problems inside stopping them.

Kingston doesn’t have anyone over 6’3. And their tallest player is pushing that. BUT they shoot so well to make up for the size disadvantage. I’m not gonna make a pick though because I have no idea what Community brings to the table.

If you enjoy throw back basketball this is the team to watch. Play hard and together.

Kingston feels like the same to me. Does Community have any size?? That’s where Kingston is lacking. But man, Kingston can shoot the lights out of the gym. #22 Neal might be the best player I’ve seen in the Chatt/Knox area the last two years. 

How does Community look?

Smallest team in the tournament guaranteed! Seen them last year at Johnson City. Couldn't believe how good they were to be so small. 

Are you saying Meigs is small or Westview?

That was me who said I didn't think it was any coach on McMinn's staff.  I know Bo and several of his assistants and I know they wouldn't do something petty like that. 

Thanks for clearing that up but I’ll just wait until the poster himself disproves me until I believe otherwise. 
I don’t mean to sound rude towards you. I believe I’ve said this before, but I enjoy reading what you bring to the board, even if you did accuse me of being a central fan once.

Yeti: I love my Lady Cherokees and they let me down but they always take a week or two to get warmed up and I know they will get em on the next game haha. Yes it is collusion, perhaps. And the motives as to my buddy telling me about it at work may be that his son/daughter may not be getting playing time, I'm not sure. But regardless if it's true that is messed up. But my motive is that I don't want players/coaches/fans or anyone to get this terrible virus that doesn't have to, prayers for Coalfield, and my 2nd motive is that TSSAA put these rules in place for schools to be there own overwatch and by doing so some schools cheat and nothing happens and other schools have rules enforced upon them for mishandling a situation that causes there season to end.

It’s crazy because just last week you said that you know nothing about the Lady Cherokees because you only follow the football team. Now you “love your Lady Cherokees”?? That certainly seems fishy. It’s almost as if you’re trying to act like someone you’re not because us Meigs fans (me in particular) are on your case.

The story gets better each time that they try to fix it. All it is doing is covering for someone that didnt or did make a call. Dont put the rest of the school and sports teams in danger of not finishing the year by not following the rules. 

 

Joined CoachT 2 hours ago to troll Meigs? Welcome man. 
Hmmm... I’ve had my suspicions about the other McMinn troll as to who he is. Someone tried telling me it wasn’t McMinn’s HC or one of his assistants, but the more he posts, the more I’m convinced that’s it’s someone on that staff.  
McMinn also has a football and basketball assistant with the initials of first two letters in your username. I could be totally off base but it’s almost like @MCCherokee2020knew he was losing this battle and called on one of his buddies ( or should I say coaching buddies?) for some help.

Its been talked about amongst the daddies anyhow lol. He's a special athlete really. #2 and #8 behind a decent line could really do some damage.

I believe you mentioned it earlier, but IMO, it really just comes down to finding the boys to replace the graduating lineman. That’s easier said than done, though. If it happens, I’ll really like our chances. 

Congrats. He’s a great player.

Well........ this is the boys thread

Did you watch Cleveland vs. McMinn?

I was able to watch the first half. Thought both teams got off to a slow start, and Cleveland was the only team to snap out of it. Cleveland will blow them out when they play at Raider Arena.
