i cant imagine any coach getting rid of one of their leaders for no reason. i agree with you sparky.

Elizabeth Massengill : over 1700 points as a JUNIOR all district fresh, soph, junior(mvp) all region fresh, soph, TSWA all state all state tourn fresh, soph (mvp) 1 state championship (mvp) averaging 25 ppg and 11 rpg this season

Seems Morgan has had Lesley's "number" on more than one occasion also...

Meigs played a great game. Central was hurt offensively & defensively by having starting point guard Payton Williams out with an injury. Without her the offense couldn't get clicking. Massengill can generate scoring herself -Think she had 30- but team needs payton to keep floor calm.

by a little bit. mcminn central wasn't an easy win for them.

massengill must have gotten the ball some...paper said she had 24

sorry that was directed to our fan,lyonheart

The fact of the matter is...11 and 24 were on the bench for a LONG time and cannon for whatever reason didnt take advantage of that. I give credit to the defense of the central girls that held cannon. Even when both came back in they stepped out of the way for cannon to score open layups. Perhaps you need to direct your anger to your "emotional" coach?????

Sore loser

not a reference to academics...simply suggesting many parents prefer the disciplinary atmosphere of the smaller mcminn central to the much larger mcminn county.

Theres another school in the same county that about 1600 students attend as compared to the 700-800 at central. students can attend either school. from what i here there are many reasons to send your kid to the smaller one...not just athletics.

I can assure you one thing...whatever games anyone won/loss in November will not matter the first of March. MC has one loss...yes to CC. MC also beat TN High by a greater margin than Elizabethton did in one game but I dont think thats a good case to rip #1 away from Elizabethton. By your logic thats what it seems should happen which I dont agree with. You are inconsistent by suggesting that because MC lost to CC that MC has to lose to everyone in 8AA. Dont take the polls this seriously. FYI...in the preseason scrimmage BOTH coaches played on pretty even terms. 5 in 5 out. Neither tried to "slip" in their starters against the others reserves. No that scrimmage didnt mean much but neither do the games in November when it comes to substate time...especially if you dont play substate in your own gym. Yes there are many variables...some of which you need to just sit back and watch play out. There will be 2 teams from these 2 regions go to state and its not going to be determined by who won what in Nov. Maybe there will be surprises maybe not but dont decide the outcomes before Jan is even over. Your response to anything MC tells alot. Good luck the remainder of the season and maybe we will meet again!

Kodger its obvious theres an issue you have with MC. While Cannon did beat then 2 months ago...MC did beat LA in a preseason scrimmage. If we want to start going back to the beginning of the season we will. Maybe it was just a scrimmage but I will tell you on that one Saturday MC matched up well against LA so calm down and let the region and substate play out.

Actually i was being serious. I have seen them on sev occasions at home and otherwise. They def need to feed off the homecourt advantage in my opinion. I was more impressed with what ive seen from LA and Upperman.

Don't know that Cannon could beat McMinn Central at McMinn Central. Don't really see how Cannon beats anyone away from their home court. McMinn Central faired well against Livingston in a preseason scrimmage. But...none of this matters anymore. Its what happens at substate that counts for these 2 regions.

They were AA during that time.

Polk County kids were just jealous that they weren't good enough to make it the finals! That just shows they have NO class!!!!!!!! Way to go Chargerettes on a great season and great game! You made us all proud of you! Thought this thread was about the Gibson, Central Game. But, since you keep bringing Polk fans into it. Sorry they don't want to or can't cheer for you, SORRY! Jealous?? You had the luck of the draw which means so much in state tourny play.Congrats to both teams. Coming from a Polk fan. Region Champs. OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Home of the GOLD BALL!!!! Lets see...South Green wore Polk(20+) out in the FIRST round. Gibson completely dismantled South Green(~40). Central played Gibson within 3. Don't see how the draw had much to do in the end. Central ended up playing Gibson in the end anyway. Polk cant play Boro style ball. Thats why their ball is 30 years old...and they havnt been able to manage even a silver ball since.

It wasn't just Marshall that got the raw end here. You have to be intellectually honest and say McMinn Central got shafted too...when they were called for hand checks but got their head knocked off at times with a no call. I'm not going to start this ref stuff. Believe me it would be easy but I was raised better than that. I wish Marshall good luck tomorrow.

When it comes right down to it, if you don't like a certain school's fans.....WIN YOUR REGION!!! If Central's fans, gym, whatever are so vile, this should be incentive to do whatever you have to do to not travel there. I have to say York, Livingston certainly outclasses you. There is always "yick-yack" back and forth but when they've come to play they haven't carried on to this extent. I do remember reading when the two of you played each other, they complained about your behavior-something about dragging a pig around so don't get too pious here. You lost, think about what you can do better next year. I'm done discussing this as I am thinking about Murfreesboro. Win or lose, Central will be there and not on the couch griping about sub-state.

There were no calls on BOTH sides. Why is it when any of the mid tenn teams come to visit and they lose its always the officiating? Maybe just maybe the other team is better and DEEPER. Yes, there is a home court advantage, that's why you are supposed to play hard in the region champsionship-so you don't have to travel . York's problem was they played the same 5 girls as long as they could with no subs. They were tired and unable to be where thay needed to be on defense-that's why the fouls were called. Whatever poster suggested that the refs were local apparently knows nothing about how things work at this level. FYI, they send refs from an assoc outside of the two teams.

Here we go. We've already started with the "trash Central's gym" talk and we're still 2 days away.

Someone from Brainerd and/or Tellico please give me an idea of how this happened. Not to take anything from Tellico but I've watched both teams play RECENTLY and I wouldn't have thought it to be even close.

Probably a joke, Indian. The assistant prin. is his wife.

Out of curiosity, what is the wrong way?
