When your state Championship is you beating 3 teams who live within a stones throw of you... Yeah, guess I'm 5. Haile is a joke, and shouldn't even exist.

Some of the teams you mentioned never will, they like pretending to be champs with weaker opponents.

Haile is supposed to be for not TSSAA teams, and TMSSAA is for TSSAA teams. Haile is kinda a joke recently because of all of the mismatches and blowouts. Plus Haile winners talk about how they are state champions when they beat 3 teams from within 30 miles of them, lol. Some teams choose to stay non TSSAA just so they don't have to compete on an even playing ground, and can still have a shot at calling themselves state champions.

MJ has been awful a while, so has WCS. Cookeville is class and will run to the semis, and Lebanon is an easy out, and not a team any decent team should worry about, undiciplined, selfish, and already imploding under the massive ego of the players and coach.

Only takes one game, and you are out. Livingston vs Cookeville is nearly 5 to 5 if they play 10 games today.

Could be worse... Can't help they got stuck in one of the weakest divisions in the state for their classification. I get it tho, Lebanon as a #2 is a joke, mj lol, Wilson central lol. There are 1A squads here who'd mop the floor with them.

Fun blowing out weak teams when you schedule them constantly, but you run into a good team and you get killed. #thebeginning

Big time beatdown... Rumor is Lebanon had kids quit on Barrett.

No doubt, The new style is getting em in in ms feeder schools. We see you LHS.

You guys havent won a title since 89, come on man.. Half the teams in this state weren't even fielding girls balls teams at that time lol. LA, Pickett, Clarkrange all suck now bc the field has been evened up elsewhere. No one is down, everyone else is better.

Glad to see big teams taking on other big teams.

You are really comparing LA to Pickett or Clarkrange lol. 3A to 1A They are waaaaaay down, and still beating you guys. LA is about as bad as they have been in 40 years, and still beating both of you guys. Go home. Next you'll say a team like Pickett is comparable to Blackman...

Club and travel exist for the admin salaries, no other reason. Take away those salaries and see how long the organizations remain. I think they are useful, but anyone who says club, aau, travel is superior to HS is most likely benefiting from selling parents the thousands of dollars a year dream, and almost all a parents I know who have went that route, spent more on travel than they got back in scholarship. It's gatekeeping, and then we wonder why we aren't getting the best athletes in all sports now. Look at USA mens soccer, total gatekeeping programs, and they have the best facilities, best everything, but still can't get the best athletes because of this nonsense.

Clarkrange has a history no one can match? LA can Jackson can I love the "We only lose games we are supposed to" argument... #6 in the State? State polls and rankings are always ridiculous, try again.

Everyone knows clubs, aau, non school leagues are about making money for administrators. I coach and can tell you I get more juco, and 4 year hits than local clubs. For every 1 kid in club ball that gets division 1, there are dozens who end up at Maryville or some school with no scholarship program. This is all just a sales pitch, gotta keep making money for administration, and pretending like it is the only way. Gatekeeping hurts sports, and that is all you are doing.

#3 - sounds like a pay for play coach if I've ever heard one

not really struggling any worse than you guys

Anyone who knows how that went down in Jackson Co is grabbing their popcorn... Gentlemen lock up your wives.

Case and point, last night lol.

Lebanon isn't playing anyone, you are right, it's gonna burn them tournament time.

Those who have stepped in have done the same things. Flatt being hired was a joke.

Only people who want this job are people who can't do much with it. The program has sat in the hands of politicians in the county for decades. Play my son, play my son... You literally can not play the best kids there without getting fired. It's a name game there. So, no self respecting coach will take it.

Preseason, and last few under Lamb

No. That team is 0-24 in their last 2 seasons. Cates does not want it. Right now, nobody wants it, it's radioactively awful.

And Smith looms for you guys... haha. I'll take Tyners chances vs Alcoa vs you guys vs Smith
