I'm here. Haven't been on here much. I keep up with Waverly but live too far away now. I miss calling games and have had many tell me they wished I still did it. I made it exciting and I was a big Homer. Lol

Ok, so someone called me and told me that you had mentioned me wanting me to respond. Alex gets a little excited sometimes and his comments aren't really meant to demean anyone even though that did look that way, he just wants to be a part of the discussion and his passion and love for football, causes him to word things wrong sometime. Having known Alex for a while, I know he would not want to cause harm or hurt to anyone. I don't live in the Waverly area any more but I did graduate from there and broadcast the games on the radio for several years before moving. I'm good friends with "Flash" from Camden and I think you guys in Camden have a great program going and it is great to see Waverly back to where they used to be years ago. Having said that, there is a reason they play the games because common opponents don't necessarily determine the outcome. Here's hoping that Camden and Waverly win their games this week. Hope for an injury free game for all teams.

My point is, "Why even say those things?" Why down play a young man who has a heart as big as his body. Yes, I know he gets on your nerves with his comments. My point is it isn't serving any purpose to tear this young man down. If you knew him personally you would understand him. This forum is not here to tear down people. Really don't see your point to me. My post is about Alex being a fine young man who played with a lot of heart. I'm saying, leave this young man alone and quit tearing him down. This would be considered bullying.

Great! I would love to see him wear orange in a couple years. Good luck to that young man and to Camden.

Ease up on Alex. He is just enthusiastic for his team. He did play at Waverly and was a very good player too. Played with as much heart as anyone I've ever seen.

I don't know who you are, but while Alex lacked size, he never lacked heart. I will say this too. I have never ever seen anyone play as hard as Alex in high school and I've seen many young men play as I'm 57 years old and when I lived in Waverly I broadcast the football and basketball games on the radio. I believe he could have played on any team in the District. Sure Alex likes to talk, but he loves his high school and team whether they won 10 or 4. It is sad that you have attacked a young man who has nothing but love for people. This is a football thread not a character thread where we attack someone behind a keyboard. You sir ought to be ashamed of himself. I'm glad I can call Alex my friend. You sir should get to know Alex and I think you would see what a nice young man he is. You owe him an apology.

How is this kid academically? Is he getting any serious looks?

Way to go Tigers!!!!

You may have us in basketball but your football isnt any larger

Upsets happen. Turnovers change outcomes. The better team doesn't always win and in this case, it didn't. Keep your heads up Tigers, no. 1 in District is still in your reach.

I'm doing well guys. I'm down in little Ole moore county. See the district is getting more competitive. I wish I was back there calling the games. I've had several people asking me to come back to do games that the new guys aren't as exciting. Good luck to all hope there aren't any injuries

That's where you are wrong. It has been a while since Waverly has beaten LC but I went back to 1985 and 1986 Waverly beat Lewis. Didn't go back further but just needed to disprove your point. Check it out on tssaa records.

The kid your talking about was just a lot bigger than the other kids. He wasn't reason they were that good in reference to kid at ensworth. Coach graves is a classy guy and role model who did a great job. The problem was with these Jr pro parents who think their success against little kids is indicator of how good they will be in high school. Sometimes they mature fast,some have other things on mind like girls, and some quit. Another problem is the fact Waverly don't have near the enrollment they used to and are one of smallest enrollments in class 3A. It's a sad day that he isn't coaching.

yea really rolled by Waverly by 3 & 9 points. And to borrow a quote from your very own Joey enjoy baseball season.

They have nets on the baseball field?

Great job tonight Waverly. The scoring drought in the third got you. But you should hold your head high. You lost to a team that will most likely be in murfreesboro. You have nothing to be ashamed of.

Gotten quiet all of a sudden. Have some coaches told certain people to close their mouths to avoid some bulletin boards??? My guess is yes. Good luck to all teams. I see it as a 8 team race to get two spots.

Yes. On that night it was an upset. On that night Waverly had the better team like the first game they played, CC had the better team. My whole point is there is not one team that is a clear cut favor to win region.

not so fast my friend. Creekwood has good chance with easier bracket but CC Giles and Waverly all are equal

I think only the first round game with CC and Summit is a given. The rest are toss ups and the top bracket is the toughest and any of the three teams can win it. CC, Waverly, Giles are as even as they come. No one has a clear cut shot at any title and any team that already think they have it are dilusional. In fact, Giles and Waverly getting upset put a huge damper on CC's chances.

Not attacking you Joey, but I just thought you were above this bickering and gloating on here. You are right, the officiating was terrible last night. The Cheatham county folks hollered about the officiating at Waverly, I wasn't there that night, so I don't know. But last nights game should be turned in to the TSSAA. Some very blatant no calls or phantom calls were made. And when Waverly had the ball at the end with chance to win, Etheridge gets knocked around to lose the ball and then gets hit with an intentional foul, that was two bogus calls there. Either way, that's the only time I've seen either play and I don't see either team having the ablity to crow they are heads above the other. They are two evenly matched teams. I just thnk it is sad that two teams that evenly matched, have games outcome determined by officials who won't let them just play ball. You've also been around long enough to know you can't compare scores. Waverly also swept Creek Wood and Cheatham lost to Creek Wood. You see, you can't compare scores, things happen. We're still friends but don't let this gloating hurt your character. Let the teams line up and just play. Where have we gone to not just saying good game to two good teams. Cheatham is a very good team but so is Waverly. And from what I saw last night, I don't think either holds an advantage. Good luck to both in tournaments. Maybe they can end up playing for the Gold ball in the end against each other.

yep that one last night was.

Students always storm the courts in upsets.

Cubs with officials win. Check my post on 11AA to see details

Joey I moved away a couple years ago and we were friends. I thought you were above this garbage. I decided to make the two hour journey to see this game. Great game by two evenly matched teams. Waverly dominated this game pretty much start to finish other than lapse at end which only time CC led. Tetrible np call pnyou steal at endyou and thenI intentional fpul on waverly, no way. The officiating kept this game from being a Waverly blow out. Cold you say? Mullinax was very cold and Waverly missed at least 8 uncontested layups. Im not going to argue with you but the better team tonight lost. There was no blowout or dunkfest like you predicted. Give it a rest! Waverly and CCHS are evenly matched. They will meet again and could go either way.
