This will lead to a greatly reduced number of AAU travel teams and thus limit opportunities for athletes in the off season. Many high school coaches can only afford to make a living if they supplement their high school salary with their travel ball salary. Moreover, it will limit athletes ability to even recieve training in the offseason from very qualified "trainers" who happen to coach high school ball. This is an absolutely ridiculous over-the-top "solution" for a problem that is quite rare. It may also violate laws by limiting an individual's ability to work. Coaches should be talking to their athletic directors and telling them the shut this terrible idea down.

Watch Cherish Stringfield.....this will turn out very well once she can implement her system. There may be a few rough bumps early on, but I be they will finish strong. Cherish is very bright - this was a great hire by Hillsboro.

R U Serious? Do you watch many good teams in Nashville?

Not only do they have good young talent, but they are very well coached. They could use one more true post player.

Let's hear your predictions? West? East/Middle? Champs?

Ensworth....without much effort. They'll blow everyone out.

Justice Swett is good, but she is not an exceptional point guard. She'll play 2 or 3 for a loaded Ensworth Team. Ensworth has a killer point guard (can't remember her name). Justice is a great defender - long arms and fairly big for her age. I'm not convinced that Justice Swett is a better player than Derica Wyatt at FRA. With my money, i'd have to go with Derica Wyatt. From what I understand, Team Pride has consistently begged Wyatt to be on that team. She opted to play elsewhere and didn't get the publicity. But she is every bit the player and then some. She is a pure shooter, who when hot, can be unconscious shooting 3's. When someone tries to defend her from the 3, she'll slash you to death. Having said that, I agree with an earlier poster who said there would be a lot of impact freshman this year. Swett will definitely be in that group.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy!!!!! Centennial won a game!!!! I am so happy for the fans and the players and the coaches and the principal too!!!!. Here, I thought they couldn't get any momentum heading into the end of the season. Now they won a game by alot of points. That is awesome. So I do think that this was a big win for them. Now, maybe all of the no-it-alls will leave the coach alone for a while.

Well, Independence just beat em'. Centennial is running out of games to win. I feel bad for the girls.

two possible wins left. John Overton and Hillwood.

First of all, it is "affecting" not "effecting." Dr. Vader will get you for that. I could do a better job than some of the people we are talking about. But, their jobs don't pay enough.

Yeah, I'm quite sure that Darth Vader had a lot to do with Ravenwood's football and Lacross successes..... To suggest that Dr. Vader had anything to do with that is an all out absurdity. A blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile too.

Well, when you get these pseudo-intellectual elitists like Dr. Pam Darth Vader over at Ravenwood running the show, they usually don't understand the concept that sports add a lot to the culture of the school. Phd + sports = oil + water. Not really the NEA....just the fact that liberal women have a totally different agenda than conservative men.

Well, now they are 0-14 with no easy games in sight: Tue Nov. 13 BGA L 36-46 Thu Nov. 15 Hunters Lane L 28-55 Mon Nov. 19 Stratford L 33-39 Fri Nov. 23 Clarksville L 30-56 Mon Nov. 26 Smyrna L 17-82 Sat Dec. 1 Page L 33-41 Mon Dec. 3 at Stratford L 29-53 Tue Dec. 4 John Overton D L 31-38 Fri Dec. 7 Independence D L 22-55 Tue Dec. 11 at Hillsboro D L 29-74 Fri Dec. 14 at Brentwood D L 27-62 Tue Jan. 8 at Hillwood D L 36-42 Fri Jan. 11 at Ravenwood D L 28-59 Mon Jan. 14 at Smyrna L 19-59
