You are thinking present I think the top five from Temple are the following Andy Cash Jake Skogen Gabe Johnson Caleb Skogen Josh Templeton Honorable Mention Carl Lewis Caleb Skogen Seth Skogen Jeron Williams Ryan Wadley

A lot of people will be disappointed anyway. No one will get in without a ticket, even players, same as a sub-state game.

None of that happened.

Last night, against Siverdale, was the best I've seen both big men stay inside. It seemed someone has finally coached them to do this, but this only works if the guards can get it inside and I've yet to see one of them effectively pass it into the post.

"Players coming off the bench" I heard they only play six maybe seven and its not much of bench in terms of contributing.

Will it be at Little Mac or Vance? I would expect a smaller crowd than last year, since Grace is not playing well and they brought the majority of the fans last year.

The real question is if this is how we want our kids to play the game of "Life". If sports is suppose to prepare you for life, through dedication, discipline and perseverence, than the coaches at Temple have failed, by sending the message that if your not going to win, you might as well quit. They have shown a lack of commitment to the program, by proving they are just in it for themselves or in this case their own kids.

Sorry about the spelling errors just trying to type to fast. Again I apologize. And I just find it so funny to see how much bad blood is between these two schools. Cant we just all get along? And I do go to TTU and maybe it is just hear say about the things I have posted, but these things have been told to me. I guess that they were just very bad contacts. I apologize for some of the things but not all the comments I have made. Again I guess it was just lies from other peoples mouths and I was just running with it. So dont judge to harshly.

Coach Skogen dont know jack. Look Jeron was at Temple from elementry to high school. When Coach T left and Wadley and Skogan took over he wanted to leave beacouse they were all about there kids. They probably had to talk him into staying. But He was misserable.

Yea that is Wadley's policy now because he almost got bustted by TSSAA. I know the sittuation at Grace and yes Wadley did aproach some of their players. And the thing about it is people want to blame Grace for whinning about things but look Grace has never gone to the TSSAA about anything. Even if there was a certain violation that had been broken nothing has been said. Yes I believe Temple does some shady things over there. And with the VanHorn kid his step dad got called to Iraq and wanted to be with his Mom so she would have somebody. He filed for hardship straight up. Now with the Vespie kid Just answer a couple of questions. One how many single A schools are bording schools? None come to mind most are D2 schools. Two can any school now apply to be a bording school if the student can play ball? If so every school around should be doing it. Last but not lest if some student from lets say Mass. had no basketball skills but wanted to come to Temple High would they let him come? Probably not.

Jeron WIlliams was at Temple all the way through elementry school. You might be talking about Dee

That is crazy no wonder Temple and Grace are such big rivals. What about the guy I was talking about I asked around some say good others say over rated some are glad he is gone "to the other side"

Yea I dont know that many people from Temple went to Grace to work. I just knew that the schools were big rivals. I hear that he was kinda of over rated any ways.

Carter McMasters From Grace only a sophmore though and 6'10"

I dont know if yall know this guy but I just meet him the other day and he said he was over at Grace now. He said that he played at Temple back in 98 his name I believe was Gabe. Do yall know who he is. I was just wondering what yall think about him going over there I thought Grace and Temple were big rivals. Me personally Im a TTU student and watch a alot of high school games when I heard this it just blew me away.

Temple has established their program but lets not forget what team really raised the bar for them. The 98 team set the tone for what was to be expected for Temple basketball. As for Grace they have always been an up and down team but since they got the silver ball and got a taste of what it was like to win something on the higher level Grace's program has sored. Like Temple who had won nothing but districts and Region that was all they expected of themselves. Then a team came along that played when the compettion was better and raised the bar. Grace has done the same thing. Sophmores went and got a ball and they expect nothing more than getting there again and bring home the Gold. Attitude in winning is what helps establish a program and Grace now has that burning desire and the attitude of winning and nothing less. All that said is to say that yes Grace is a proven established basketball program.

Look stop whinning about Powell having the Flu. That is just a copout. Powell looked fine during warm up and the begining of the game. Then Dilts put the lock down on him and I guess the Flu just got worse. Look plenty of people play sick with the the flu. In my opinion thats when you find out how good you really are. If you supposed to be one of the best players in the area and your playing in a big game like this sick or not you rise to the occasion. But good D like Dilt's must have made him really sick.

Davis Eldridge from Grace is staight up a three point stroker

Look enough with the Gabe thing who cares if he or Templeton was the best or anybody else was. This is supposed to be about the Grace Guys and talking about these guys just makes me sick. Stick to the topic at hand. Nobody cares about these guys anymore there history. Talk about how great of team you guys have over there at Grace and the good players that are there. Dont give any credit to Temple or there past while talking on this topic. Enough said!!!

There are a couple of factors in to nights game. One is if Central has a good crowd it can be really really loud in there. Two is Grace going to play defence like they are capable of, they have to play with alot of intensity and desperation which I dont know if the starting five are capable of that. Three, go inside and use it to there advantage. Carter in very unselfish heck try to score when he can but will lokk for his teamates camping out on the three. Lastlly hit there shots, if Davis is on fire Centrals in trouble if Nic is on fire Centrals in trouble, if Jeffery is hitting his shots Centrals in trouble,in another words everybody can shoot the ball and as long ther are hitting Centrals probably doesnt have a good chance. BUT DEFENCE IS THE KEY

I would like to see the Ogelsby kid go against Nic or Davis. I have seen this kid play and all I cansay is that the kid is amazing. He has a great shot from mid to past the three point line. He has a great first step and is quick and really strong. In my point of view which doesnt matter much this kid is three times as good as Davis. Ogelsby is for sure a D1 player. Nic would be a good match for him but I cant see him doing the job. Nothing agains Nic or Davis it is just that Ogelsby is fust that good. It would a fun and exciting game to watch.

Davis is shooting the ball unbelievably. Do yall think he is going to end up being the best player in Chattanooga. I actually think Nic is Graces best player cause he makes everything much easier for everybody else. What are Your fans thoughts?

Wheels is a decent player but Terrell is the next big thing at Grace I hear. And your right I should lay off wheels legs. He cant help it there big.

Tn Temple has sent out some really good players lately and some good ones from the past. Who are some of the best ones

Wheeler legs are big and should not even be on the floor much less be on the team. I think that Terrell should have Wheeler's jersy and Wheeler should take his place as the back up for the JV squad
