You can never tell; your team may go all the way. That is what makes high school basketball so exciting. Never give up; rankings mean nothing when it comes to the tournaments. Get behind your team and go for it!

Maplewood coach. We played all the west tenn. teams mentioned and lost.

I can tell you, west tennessee is better, we have played the AA teams in the west. Bolivar, Dyer Co. , and middle tennnessee Giles Co. are tremendous teams with multi-talent. I know Elizabethon is good, because you won your district, but believe me, west is best! From experience!

11th in the State is low? Come on now.

Man, it is so nerve racking! I know last year at Hendersonville, we won by one, Maplewood, and I was whipped! It is really an experience. Hendersonville was a great team with a great coach: it was just our night. Whew, we won by a point. Great feeling, but this is another year. The hunt goes on for the golden ball.

Gladiator, I agree totally!

Having coached against both, I would have to give the edge of athleticism to Jamont, but leadership and court savy to Tyler. If I had my wants, I would take Tyler because he is more of a team player. Just my thoughts, by no means fact.

Barry Gardner, Maplewood!

So much more thought and research than the AP. Congratulations on a job well done. You know what you are doing Gomab!

I just feel 12AAA is gonna make some waves. Maybe we are not as strong as last year, but we will surface. I believe we, 12AAA, will be right in there.

I believe that Coach Campbell is the best fit for Hunters Lane. I have coached and taught with Coach Campbell and I know he will do a fantastic job. He is a hard worker and knows the game of football. He also is a great Math teacher. Hunters Lane would do themselves well to get a person that is so dedicated as Richard Campbell. I think he will get the job!

What about the 12AAA in Nashville?? We are beating each other up, but watch us tournament time. I believe we will be right there with the other districts, if not already!!!

CoachF, I would like to think I could run the score up in 12AAA, but no such luck, lol! I don't know what it would be like??????

Is too much being said about the dunk and 3-pointer? John Wooden said he doesn't like it and the dunk should be outlawed and so should the 3-pointer. What do you think? Are the other fundamentals more important to the game? What do you think????

We at Maplewood, have played both teams. I would give a slight edge to Giles Co. because of the athleticism of the team as a whole. However, you can never count out Columbia, they play so hard.

I mean AAA public schools. Huh?

Do you really think that no Nashville team will go? Ugh!

Does everyone think 12AAA is dead? I don't think so! Just watch us in the tournaments. We will all come alive! You can count on it!

I am truly ashamed of the NBA! I haven't watched it since the Bird and Magic era. Can you believe what is happening with these thugs nowadays? I am glad to be in high school, thank god. I love the game of basketball, but the NBA is almost the WWF! Overgrown babies fighting like crazy. I will never watch the NBA again!!! Period!!

Postponed until Thursday, Feb. 20

Maplewood at Whites Creek from Jan. 25 to Jan. 28. Can you make this change? I could not send a private message. Thanks Coach G

He is exploited and it is wrong. I'm sorry but the kid should be able to at least live his high school days as a high school player. The NBA is not giving him a break. I know he needs to go to college , but you know I guess the money is really appealing. Whatever, I feel for the kid.

Maplewood at Glencliff postponed . Makeup date to be decided.

Maplewood at Whites Creek postponed until Jan. 25

From what I have heard, Ridgeway is the best team. Dyer Co. is also in the running. White Station is really good though.
