FCBOE doesn’t decide who coaches Clarkrange boys basketball. The Clarkrange AD does and I’ll just leave it at that.

Beaty is the best player in AA. Cookeville is a very good team. Would’ve like to have seen York keep attacking in the 3rd as it didn’t seem Cookeville had an answer for Beaty. I also believe York has the talent to win AA if their younger players played more aggressively on the offensive end.

Hope she transfers somewhere. She deserves the right to play. Doubt t$$aa will allow it but hope so.

Uppermans’ freshman is the real deal. I’ve watched a lot of basketball and he’s the best 8th grader (last year) I’ve ever seen. He’s athletic, gifted, and extremely smart player. Upperman’s coach has already figured this out as he’s the go to (before football players got back) in clutch situations. This young man played for UA out of Nashville so obviously others have noticed. If you get a chance GO WATCH. It’s worth the price of admission.

York was victorious again tonight against clay but they appear to be without their floor general (Leffew) for the rest of the year due to a nagging football injury. It’ll be a really tall task for the dragons to win the region and make it back to the glass house without him. He’s a lot more than a pg, he’s a true competitor. Hope they do make it back (for the 4th straight year), but it’ll be a tall task without him.

In Tennessee it’s so bad (need for officials) all you have to do is pay t$$aa’s fee to be an official. You don’t have to pass any test or anything (unlike Kentucky I know maybe others). In the association I officiated in, the assigning officer was the issue (reason I got out). Fans are horrible now. They feel their 3-7 dollars gives them the right to berate officials. Their 3-7 dollars gives them the right to cheer for their team/kids and that’s it.

York is VERY good 1-5. Desperately need some subs to step up (potential is there). Should have no issues with district (barring injuries). Region/sub- state/ state will come down to depth.

AA starts tomorrow. Who ya got? Alcoa vs Pearl Cohn Brainerd vs Fairview York vs Douglas Giles Co vs Powercenter

Sounds a lot like MAHS. Hopefully schools like this will either be made private or close altogether.

He’s a VERY good coach. He will change the culture at Smith co and he’ll attract good players. Winners follow winners and Coach Ferrell is a winner. Smith Co will be a common name in district/region championships in the near future.

Sorry for the typo but you were right. It is the kid from Monterey. York played him straight up man and held him under 20 till the starters were pulled. He got at least nine against the subs. Reminds me of watching the kid from Cannon county last year, but according to one of their parents nobody else wanted to shoot. Might be the same situation at Monterey this year.

You can’t fault them for their competition. They can only play the teams on their schedule(crucify Bradley for playing their district opponent Howard, York is no different). They are very well coached and athletic. We’ll see how the end of the season goes, but I’d be shocked if they don’t play in Murfreesboro and make a very deep run.

York is the best team in AA. They have the best player and a VERY good supporting cast. The have “enough “ bench to do what they need to. This team scores inside out and guard/post and slow down or transition/fast break. They’ll be in Murfreesboro barring key injuries and everyone will see.

The kid from Jackson county shoots almost all of their shots (it’s something to see). I’ve not seen a high school team that just lets a kid shoot 80% of their shots and all of the other players and parents be ok. He can score but he needs a clear line of sight to do it. Just my .02.

York wins by almost 40 AT Monterey. When York gets to play fast they’re really tough to deal with.
