She can't be a teacher. she was hired as our head coach a few years ago but has no certification. She might be a t/a or cafeteria monitor but has zero certification to teach.

White Co will not play Cookeville because of the girls program!!!!! Boys coach would play but the WC Girl's coach won't play anybody he doesn't have to play. That game has been played for as long as I can remember. Upperman and Cookeville should play every year, would be a great gate and great game. Upperman girls coach is famous for dropping teams that beat her, Cookeville was 30 better than my Lady Cats last year and we almost beat Upperman in region, huge huge difference in 4A AND 3A. This is where AD'S need to step in and make these games happen. I can promise you that Cookeville wants both games.

What is going at franklin county and tullahoma?  Both of their rosters were posted and they have a lot of freshmen on both teams but not much else?  Is this coaching issues with both programs?  Girls not coming back to the teams because of the lack of coaching?  I remember the last few years Tullahoma was putting girls in college and fc had girls going to school and now the last couple years these new coaches have not put anyone in school at the next level.  What is the real problem?

I saw Franklin Co roster posted yesterday. Best player from last year left them and it had 9 freshman and only 5 upperclassmen. Franklin Co girls are dropping teams from their schedule that they have played for 50 years because they can no longer compete, so so sad for that program. I am amazed that the AD and administration would allow that to happen. I think we will be fine, we have our best player Bobo back and Melton will be a force on the inside, we won't have a lot of depth but we can still make a run at a district title.

I thought that they had decided as a county to go on and get out early by using their remaining unused weather days. If they did that, then she should have been good to hold tryouts, but if not, then yeah it sounds like a violation for her... 

No, they are still in full swing, open gym, tryouts, workouts, you can call it what you want but under no circumstances can 8th graders participate. How can you be a high school coach and not even know the rules smh, I also heard yesterday that Franklin Co is now down to 4 returning players, they may not even be able to field a team next year.

Well it has taken the new coach 3 days to start cheating lol, Stotts had the 8th graders over and was in the gym with a clipboard running tryouts. You can't have your 8th graders until school is out smh. Tssaa was contacted and I'm sure they will lose summer days or HOF games just like the previous coach did his 1st year. Why can't coaches play by the rules or even worse how does high school coaches not even know the rules. Ignorance should not be an excuse to cheat.

Congrats to Coach Stotts.  Welcome to the head coaching position at WCHS.  Where lots of people will be glad to offer you advice about what you should be doing.  No matter how successful you are as a coach, they will still be glad to tear you down.  Because after all, Warren County has had unmatched athletic success in all sports.  

I disagree about the tear down part, the last coach went .500 over a 4 year stretch and they were very supportive of him. I hope we keep each other on the schedule because it is always a good game, we lose 4 seniors including our best player in Nutt and I know you guys lose a lot as well. I heard Franklin Co is dropping everyone tough from their schedule and adding Cascade and a bunch of small schools, looks like the AD would make them play a tougher schedule. Warren Co had a very talented 8th grade group and should be good again in a couple years. Hopefully the new coach will stay around and not quit on her kids when the talent drops a little like Lippe did.

It's gonna be bad whoever gets the job, I still am amazed that the previous coach left it in shambles. He should have stayed 1 more year for the younger kids. He went .500 with the most talent Warren Co has had in 40 years, I can't imagine how bad next years team would be with him at the helm. Team gets down and he quit on them, left the struggles to someone else, that is how the world works these days smh. He should have taken notes from the Boyd coach, he could have quit after last season but I read yesterday that he stayed 1 more season for the younger kids and so it wouldn't look like he was just after wins, kudos to him. Sounds like a great guy with high values.

I would hardly call 16-16 and a 1st round region loss a Home Run for the boys lol. Your girls need to look at Coach Mccmurtry from Tullahoma. He was a consistent winner in  his tenure here. Lippe leaves with a 61-57 record including 2-10 versus white co and 1-12 against Coffee Co. He leaves the program on life support, I watched them play AAU the last 2 weekends and they are very very bad. Good coaches groom their middle school programs and that is exactly what Cody did for Tullahoma and i've heard Lippe would not work with his middle school coaches at all. I saw warren play 2 times last year and they were the most undisciplined team I have seen in years, flagrant fouls, tripping, pushing and horrible body language and now when this .500 class of seniors leave the building ( which .500 is very above average for warren co ) Coach Lippe bails on his program smh. Help is down the road and I promise Cody would not quit on his team or leave the program with no chance of winning like this coach has done!!!

Who is your team apsu???? Coffee beat us twice and are a very good team, we played them pretty good at tullahoma but they throttled us at home. We beat Cumberland Co and Lincoln Co beat White Co by double digits. The same Lincoln Co team that Coffee beat by 40 twice. Stop bashing and just let teams play. By looking at schedules it looks like to me that 12 teams Coffee played are playing in a region semi game tonight. So plz tell me who your team is and lets break down their schedule, i guarantee you they don't have 12 region semi opponents on their schedule. Yes Cleveland could beat Coffee, they both are very good teams. Blackman, York, Warren Co, Lincoln Co, Tullahoma, are all very good teams and Coffee Co is 9-1 against them. So tell me your squad and lets go over their schedule please.

Nevermind you don't have to post your team, your that parent of the kid who would not play softball at 4a Franlin Co and took your kid to Huntland to dodge competition lol. AND when Coffee beat you by 70 points at Thanksgiving you wanted to cry and hide behind a screen and bash people. What a joke, could not compete with the big dogs and took baby jane to Huntland to excel lmao JOKE

What's the probability that warren beats CC for the district championship? I also heard on the radio that CC jv team went undefeated this year. But its all smoke and mirrors with them too, they got to pick and choose who they played smh. They didn't play all the jv teams of the teams that they played during the year. You're jv is your future, they need to be ready to help next year.  The coach should just get them girls battle ready during the year and be ready when it counts. He's wasting some good teams and talent just to have good regular season numbers. 

lol your a jealous moron, our jv girls (tullahoma) were there saturday and even played a starter from our varsity, we lost lol, franklin co was there saturday and also started a varsity starter in jv lol and Coffee was up on them 34-8 when i left, Coffee and Page were by far the best 2 teams on the floor that day. Keep hurling your insults and looking for ways to bash coffee. What team do you root for?  I would love to dissect their schedule the way you you do. Coffee and Warren are both top 10 teams in the state so it should be a very good game.

CC has 15 wins versus 1A schools! And bad 1A schools to boot, Trophy hunters!!! The coach is just getting fraudulent wins!

LMAO - Must be a disgruntled parent or just a plain moron, Whitwell and Moore Co are the only 2 1-a schools on the schedule and Coffee played both in another schools tournament. They have a top 3 schedule in 4-a and played Lincoln Co 20-2, Blackman 22-2 and us (tullahoma) which they  play every year and always will, They haven't lost a district game in 5 years with that mediocre coaching lol, 34-0 against the likes of Warren Co ( a top 10 team), Cookeville a top 5 team, Lincoln Co, Lawrence Co, Stewarts Creek, and have 6 district championships in a row. My daughter plays at tullahoma and I wish everyday she had went to Coffee, she just might next year. They beat York by double digits and who I think is a top 10 team in the state regardless of class. Have they went past region, no they haven"t but they got eliminated by riverdale, blackman, oakalnd and so on. All in single digit games that could have went either way. They lost to Blackman by 3 the year we went to substate and Blackman beat us by 40 in region that year lol. You don't win 50 district games in a row by being mediocre, PERIOD. Do I think they will go to state this year, prob not, if I had to bet on it I would pick Bradley Central to win region on their home floor and I would pick Blackman to win substate on their home floor. Warren Co is very good and played us as well as Coffee, 1 close game and 1 blowout, so Warren or even Cleveland could beat Coffee on a given night.  Does not mean they are trophy hunters or a weak team, they are very very good. This senior class at Warren Co is suppose to be great and i hear all this praise about them and all the hate for Coffee, after looking on Coach T, this vaunted Warren Co senior class is 54-56, not even .500 lmao and this trophy hunting mediocre Coffee team's senior class is 112-11. We will proudly wear the red and black next year and hope to continue this mediocre run.

Never said it was the same year. I said we've made it farther overall than they have with these "better" teams you speak of. What people don't care about is who you beat multiple times when you can't get the job done when it matters. Every other year we made it to the second round or better and they still kept getting put out with "better" teams at the same time or earlier. At the end of the day all i'm saying is quit bashing Tullahoma to make CC look great. We've never been the standard to compare yourself to when it comes to winning the gold ball, but have done some things they haven't. Until they do they'll just be a team that plays a weak schedule beats teams they're supposed to and chokes when it matters. Even the "win" against blackman this year was really a loss, the refs just had to make a judgment call that went their way. There are pictures and video of the ball being out of the girls hand in time, so blackman should've won that game. But it was a judgement call that had to be made by the refs and at CC no doubt and they called it CC's way. So until they do something worthy of all this praise they are who they are and no one fears them but small schools. They only beat Tullahoma by 6 at tullahoma this year, so what does that say. I respect the talent there, the kids play hard and have potential. But until you get the job done, potential means nothing. 

I was at the game against Blackman and the basket was 100% good. I saw the AP poll today and Bradley, Coffee, Blackman,  and Rockvale are all top 10 in the state and warren, stew creek and cleveland are all very good, only 2 of those will make the state, doesn't mean the others choked just means its a loaded region. Yes we played Coffee to 6 at our place and it was a great effort by staff and players to slow it down and make 25 passes before we started our offense, only chance we had. If we had played Coffee's schedule we would have at least 5 more losses prob more, york would destroy us, Lincoln would beat us, Blackman would beat us, Central magnet would beat us, Shelbyville almost beat us and they are on life support smh

That one game was the district championship Mcmurtry's first year. And why does it matter if they have won games against us? They don't win the gold ball because they beat us right? So that's irrelevant really. The point is to "own" the state not Tullahoma smh. Playing and beating good teams got us to a sub-state game that they still haven't made it to the last 6 years with "better" teams so.... Do you think that year their kids would've wanted to win district or make it to a sub-state game and chance to potentially make it to state? I'd say the latter, because you want the best chance to compete for a gold ball not beat your rival. We've gotten closer to competing for a gold ball in the last 6 years than they have so how good are they really when it counts? So what is your point exactly? 

The district championship was not the substate year, we won the district championship then lost 1st round of region, Coffee won the 1st round of the region that year as we were still celebrating our lone victory smh. Coffee went further than us that year is my point but we still celebrate that victory and most don';t realize we lost the next game and Coffee won.

It doesn't matter how many CC beat us by that year, if they were so much better than us they should've beat whoever they played right. We had to beat a team in Oakland that just beat Blackman right. So somehow that discredits us and our wins in order to make it to a sub-state game that we only lost by 8 at Bradley? Stop it would you, we earned our spot in that game. Don't try and diminish the body of work we put in to get there to prove a point about CC. We had a great team as well and competed at a high level and deserved to be in that game. We played a great schedule and fought hard all year to get there. How dare you act like because Oakland stepped up and beat Blackman it cost CC. CC playing those weak schedules and not being prepared for tournament time cost them. If they were so much better and that good they would've made it to the glass house regardless right, shouldn't have mattered who they played right? But like every other year they win district and crumble when it matters.  So pipe down when talking about Tullahoma and our accomplishments that year. WE EARNED EVERYTHING WE GOT THAT YEAR PERIOD.  ` 

 

We are 1-16 against CC the last 6 years LOL, iF PLAYING GOOD TEAMS MAKES YOU BETTER WE SHOULD BE GREAT BUT THEY OWN US, We have had 3 different coaches and Coffee dismantles us every year. I a realist, we caught a huge break and won 1 game after Coffee beat us bad all 3 games, they are just better, last year this year, next year.

Coffee County will sweep their district and district tournament.  They should win the region and can beat Blackman as they have already proven so I do not think Cleveland or Bradley will put a lot of fear in them.  

Bradley at Bradley will win the region - PERIOD, That will put Coffee at Blackman for substate, I got Blackman by 5 at Blackman.

Didn’t a school from the same county and the same basketball district as the lady raiders make it to a sectional game a couple years ago?  please stop with your reasoning, you are ranked second in the state and should make an appearance in Murfreesboro if nobody gets hurt.  Good luck to your team the rest of the way ScottyP

Yes we made a sectional a few years ago after Coffee Co had beaten us by 80 in 3 games. The only reason we made it is because Oakland upset Blackman and put them in Coffee's bracket. Coifee had already beat Oakland by double digits that year. I'm a realist and yes we made a sectional but Coffee was way better than us that year and caught a horrible break. Bradley, Blackman, Coffee, Cleveland and even Warren have a chance to go to the boro this year, to say coffee should be in the boro is ridiculous, Bradley to me is the best team and then Coffee and Blackman is a dead heat. All 3 are very very good teams. In order to make state Coffee will need to beat Warren in district championship, Cleveland in semis, bradley in finals and then Blackman in substate, very possible but not likely, odds say you will have a bad shooting night 1 game in 4. Hardest road to the state in TN. Coffee beat Lincoln by 50 and in my opinion Lincoln has a better chance of making state than Coffee. I also agree the numbers thing is irrelevant, you need 7 girls to play basketball so numbers don't matter. I do think a lot of kids dodge 4a basketball. D-1 players drive by Cookeville to go to Upperman. People turn down the Riverdale job to keep their kid in smaller easier divisions, Some people are happy winning the Poulan Weedeater Bowl, that's just today's mentality!!!!

best team to not play anyone. who goes to a tournament 14 hours away to play single a teams. 

Bearden has the 34th ranked schedule in 4a, Coffee has the #1 ranked schedule in 4a, Coffee Co played York and Blackman in November and December while you played East Hamilton and Volunteer, You will be in the boro again come state time no doubt, On the other hand Coffee, Bradley Blackman are 2-3-4 in the state and cleveland, warren, stew creek, oakland are all good teams  so 5 good teams will not make state. That does not mean they are not good teams. TCU made the championship game and we know how that turned out. Instead of bashing high school programs why dont you say good luck and just see what happens.

I went to the Coffee-Blackman game last night. Both are very good teams, the girl going to Purdue was on fire early for Blackman, she hit 5 3's in the 1st half. Coffee responded and it was tied with 50 seconds to play. Coffee missed a 3 with 5 seconds to go to tie then fouled. We play Coffee Friday night and if we play like we played against White Co it will be a great game, if we play like we played against Warren Co we are in trouble.

it has been a few years since my own kids went through but the organization called the tssaa does not allow it until a time period

i agree with you but the rules are in place because some coaches just do not know what time off is and that is apparent in the next town over

I read the official accident report yesterday and it said " player was hurt running a 5 on 4 practice drill. A PRACTICE DRILL - 5 on 4 means we are using more than the 3 players allowed. Coach for Tullahoma was in attendance directing drills and even running plays and player was hurt running practice drills. This is cheating, period. Practice starts October 31 this year and we got a 2 month head start on the field. Its worth losing a week of summer practice or whatever slap on the wrist we got last year when Cody was practicing.

tell that to the other sports who follow the rules.  in just the past two weeks multiple injuries coming from one school in this area I live all because the new coach wants to practice in the mornings is it worth it

I watched an interesting video this morning, looks like our new coach is still playing by the college rules. Full blown practice and a good player got hurt smh. I guarantee you this video makes its way to TSSAA, I guess a few of the girls are mad about early morning practices and have filmed a few lol. #SEPTEMBERPRACTICE #CHRISTIANVALUES
