Wow, two losses in a row to Ezell for Mt. Pleasant. I hope you go 0-10 Mt. Pleasant. You've got the most classless fans in Tennessee!!!!!! Go Eagles.

Thanks for the info. Are there any point guards out there that might want to go? Rosters have to be turned in by Monday.

If there are any players still wanting to play at the 19U AAU Nationals in Orlando the end of July, call Kris Frye at 931-205-4437. There is only one team from Tennessee going to the Nationals now, so if there are any players out there like Cory Pflieger, T.C. Jennings, Matthew Dotson, Jeff Barnes, Elmar Kuli-Zade or others, give Kris a call. Rosters must be turned in this week.

I think that he will do very well in college. I've seen him play 4 or 5 times over the past couple of years, and he is much better than other players that I have seen go D-1. He is 6'7" - 6'8" with very good ball handling skills, the ability to go inside or out and has great hops.

Congratulations to Coach O and all of the girls. Brittany really dominated tonight and the the defense was strong. With upsets of Davidson Academy, Goodpasture and a close loss to FRA, the CPA girls are rocking right now. Wayne County made a valiant comeback to tie the game with pressure defense, but CPA pulled it out. Great fan support tonight for such a long drive down the Trace. The Wayne County fans were great and we look forward to hosting them on Monday night. Hopefully we'll have two teams in the Boro this year, though it will be tough.

Then what do you call the McEwen students caught kicking and Ezell Harding cheerleaders car? That's pure class! I was at the game and didn't hear anybody chant "baby". It was a hard fought game.

Congrats to both teams. They are "friends" and have kept the regional final in District 9! Two very tought teams in E-Rob and McEwen, both excellent teams, fell to D-0 teams. Should be a great close game, though I hope the Lions rebound from the last game and get a home Substate game.

Classy comment form the Unaka fan! Way to go ladies on a great win. We are so proud of you. It is amazing how the seniors have improved and the Frosh and Sophs have played. Keep the pressure on and let's get a home substate game.

So there wasn't a R-E vs. Westside game, so is this a joke?

How long did Gershom have to sit out after transferring from JPII? He is a good player, but I've never seen him in good enough shape to play a full game.

If you haven't heard of him you must be living under a rock. Puckett is a very real deal, very similar to Matthew Dotson at Hickman County, though he might be better. He can play outside or inside and can jump very well. Wish he had of stayed with an SEC school so we could watch him play.

As a very unbiased observer, it looks like MP is on a roll this year with an Ezell Harding type offense when Davis, Owens and J.P. were there. WC barely got past Eagleville, so I would say it will be MP 28 - WC 14

Looks like Mt. Pleasant is running up scores like Ezell Harding did in 2001. I know that they have a lot of talent, and they play a big game the 22nd with Wayne County who just slipped by Eagleville this past week. That game shouldn't be a big challenge for Mt. Pleasant and they will end up a #1 seed. Also DCA and CPA play that same night, so several things will be determined at that point.

It looks like two of the best games in the state will be on October 22 when DCA and CPA play and Mt. Pleasant and Wayne County play. Does the basketball player that transferred from Collinwood play football for Wayne Co. also? Davidson Academy can't be overlooked by anybody and seem to be on a roll with their new coach, and Friendship is steamrolling with only a loss to JP II. Looks like Mt. Pleasant is for real from the article in the Tennessean today.

DCA 28 NCS 7

I couldn't have said it better myself! Great post!

Dave Thomas was in the last snap. One series another Thomas came in and that was it. First string defense was in the whole game. The younger fans at the game that walked through the CPA stands before the game trash talking, and even at half time really showed a lot of class for Riverdale. Also the kids that were taunting Jeff Fisher after the game really shines well on Riverdale. It is funny that every post was that either CPA wouldn't score or maybe score 7, but they hung 28 on the vaunted defense. Riverdale is a very good team, Dave Thomas is a great scrambler and the running back that had over 200 is extremely fast. Give CPA some credit instead of saying Riverdale wasn't ready to play.

Riverdale enrollment 2313 from the TSSAA website - CPA is 269, so by those figures it's 8.6 times larger. Riverdale should be the best in TN this year.

Goodpasture didn't have much of an offensive plan or at least it didn't look that way. In the second half they probably didn't have 50 yards total offense, but they have the talent to make it to the playoffs. I agree that 1A and 2A are not that different in talent level, so it shouldn't be that big of a surprise that CPA won. Riverdale is another situation. They have manhandled everybody that they scrimmaged-MBA, Brentwood and others - not just beat, but completely destroyed. Riverdale could be one of the top ten teams in the nation, so if CPA can get through without injuries and learn from playing such a talented opponent, it will benefit them later in the year. Congratulations to Coach Matthews and all of the other coaches on their first win at CPA.

For results check out www.unapproved website.com. Looks like CDF played a great game against Memphis. Also heard that in a head to head battle in the Thunder/Ballerz game, Sikes had 27 and Delk had 6. Guess Sikes should be ranked a little higher.

Any spots left open for a 17U team in this tournament?

In the 16U division the results were. Murfreesboro Stars - Won 81-51 in Pool Play - Won 69-52 in Pool Play - Lost in first round of Gold Division to the Texas Ambassadors Mid-State Ballerz - Lost 70-59 in Pool Play - Won 70-64 in Pool Play - Beat San Antoio Kings and the Blazers in the Bronze Division and Lost to Houston Swoosh Stars - 2-1 Ballerz - 3-2 I think that that is all of the Tennessee teams in the 16U division

I think that all of this is right, if not, don't get too upset. These are 17U results. Team Tennessee - Lost 76-46 in Pool Play - Lost 55-41 in Pool Play - Lost in Bronze Division first game Stallions - Lost 69-45 in Pool Play - Won 64-55 in Pool Play - Lost in Bronze Division first game Tennessee Travelers - Won 59-51 in Pool Play - Won 72-66 in Pool Play - Won in Gold Divion vs. Friends of Hoop - Lost in Gold Division to Houston Hoops Mid State Ballerz - Won 67-55 in Pool Play - Won 80-79 in Pool Play - Lost to Georgia Elite in Gold Division first game Tennessee Dreams - Won 62-60 in Pool Play - Won 59-47 in Pool Play - Lost to Louisiana Select in Gold Division first game YOMCA - Won 74-54 in Pool Play - Won in Pool Play (no score listed) Won in Gold Division against Blessed IJN, Belmont Shore, Illinois Fire and Mean Streets before loosing in the Semi-Finals to Spiece Indy Heat who then lost to the Georgia Stars for the championship of the Gold Division So I guess the totals are: YOMCA - 6-1 Travelers - 3-1 Ballerz - 2-1 Dreams - 2-1 Stallions 1-2 Team TN - 0-3

Are there any more 17U teams still forming, having tryouts, looking for players, etc?

First, the floor is the slickest floor that I have ever seen. Secondly, it didn't affect the final score of the game. Third, Puckett is an excellent player, probably at better than Skogen was last year at Temple. Fourth, his asthma seems to bother him greatly. Lastly, it was a great game, and McEwen is a very good team. Very good sportsmanship all around and a great high school atmosphere.
