Ronald Abernathy named new Humboldt coach http://www.jacksonsun.com/story/sports/high-school/boys-basketball/2014/08/07/hs-boys-basketball-humboldt-names-abernathy-coach/13749357/ I have never heard of him......any thoughts?

Summer is here.....Prep for the season starts now....Any word on the new coach?

You never know. In the Humbolt School district, you can be and Administrator and Athletic Coach. We this is not the case in many school districts. Coach Boykin was Asst. Principal and Coach. So we will see. Thanks the updates guys.

Any word on who will replace Coach Boykin?

Thanks for the update guys. As a Humboldt alum I am loyal to west TN. However, the Butler offer is by and far the best out of the bunch. They are rebuliding there and he could see significant minutes early in his college carrer. They are in the Big East and paly a national schedule ( TV Time). The play thier confernce tournament at Madison Square Garden. How much more could you want? This is me on the outside looking in here, but as 87vikingalum said, whoever he chooses will be getting a BIG TIME talent.

Has Mr. Bradford decided on a college yet?

What was Bradford's stat line

If Butler has offered...that's the way to go!

What are the biggest schools to offer De'Sonta Bradford thus far?

The fact of the matter is that we do not know the whole story and probalby never will. Yes Balnd had a good run there. He was able to make the playoffs. He had winning seasons. The thing is they just decided to go in a different direction. It happens all over America. In the corporate world, college, pro, and high school. Was it done in a politcaly correct fashion? NO! Does the school admin have the right to make these decisions? YES! Coach Reid would have been stupid to turn down the job. People are saying he is suspect for accepting it...If you were offered a promotion at work would you take it....You may say NO on this message board...but deep down you would say YES

For all of the people who don't know coach Reid. He is flat out a winner! He led the Humboldt basketball team to a state championship in 1976. He was one of the best running backs to play at Humboldt. He went on to UT and a brief stint with the Raiders. He Returns to his hometown and dedicates the past 30 years to Humboldt education. He has been offered greener pastures but stayed loyal to his community. He has become a winning coach at the Middle school level in both football and baskeball. His football team winning the gibson county championship. his basketball team winning their portion of the State championship. His football pedigree is that of a life long learner of the game from the assitant coach level in High School Football. He learned from the fantastic football coach John Tucker. Junior was responsible for molding one of the greatest backfields in Tennessee footbal history. Kelcey Williams, Maurice Jelks, Marcus Bonds, Carl Williamson. The evidence provided by the State Legislature in Tennessee is right here: http://www.capitol.t...ill/SJR0302.pdf Here is a small portion of what the state resolution says: A RESOLUTION to honor and congratulate coach John Tucker and the 1995 Humboldt High School football team on being Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association Class 3A runner-up. WHEREAS, Head Coach John Tucker and his very capable coaching staff Assistant Coach Ron Canada, Assistant Coach David Duncan, Assistant Coach Steve Flowers, Assistant Coach Randy Newsome and Assistant Coach Dorrington Reid have performed their duties with proficiency and dedication So this is not a fluke, Good Ole Boy Network, or Racial. This is about the community. Bringing in a loyal dedicated and more than capable coach is about bringing this community together as it was in 1995 when Humboldt Football was the end all be all. Thanks for your dedication to your community Coach Reid! The players are getting more than a coach. They are getting an example of how to lead and be loyal.

Where did Crayton and Taylor from last year's team end up at???

Any updates on where any of the Humboldt players college choices..... All choices D1, D2, D3, NAIA, JC etc.....

I second That

MTiger I told you I will tell you the team i support.... I Played for Humboldt from 98-2001..... I am now a basketball recruiter

A Great Team Beat a Great Team. Congrats Manassass ! Humboldt played it to the wire, but Free Throws killed us......

Mtiger must be T.O. becasue dude you are crazy inlove with yourself ....Get a hobby......and while you are at it get some respect for others..... Respect TraderB saying that he is pulling for your favorite team as well as the other teams in the area.....It is wrong to discount him to being a fan of another school previous..... Respect the fact that he calls it like he sees it..... /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

I wouldn't call my post above talking mess.... That is an assessment that i made from what i was able to odserve.... Manassass does not shoot the ball well.... That is just making a baskeball assessment... Now I am not aware of who Trader B is... Although I belive that he took it from a stand point of the game. 1.) Manassas has not played a team of Humboldt's Claiber---- True 2.) Manassas doesn't shoot he ball well---- True 3.) Manassas will have alot to worry about come Wednesday --- True 4.) Manassas would have been better equiped with last years roster ---- True 5.) If Manassas is able to shoot well as well as excecute their other goals the will be a very hard team to beat by anyone---True Trader B seems to take all facts and real them into his message that i hit it squarely on the head. So if you call FACTS mess talking, then the Bolivar Mental Institution is not that far away from you.... Just my observation /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

They don't call it Marh Madness for nothing... It will be a great game... The best two teams in the state meet up in the first round.... who would have thought it...

Let's GO Humboldt!!!!!

Thanks /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

Spoken Like A True SPort.... Well said

All of your post are very insightful. i agree that Manassass has a lot of weapons. One weapon this dull is their shooting. They have to be able to shoot well and do eveythig else during their tourn. run. If they pull that off they will be vey hard to beat. As i posted before, if Manassass plays Humboldt at any point in this tourn. they will have more than a full plate. They have not played a team of this caliber before this season. I have seen both teams play, and I will say that Manassass has a lot to worry about. Now last years Manassas team would be much more equiped.

Waht does that matter.... Put it like this i will make that available after the state tourn.... A few years back I played for one of the teams in the state tourn. They should do well and hopefully have a good three games there.... I do however understand your commitment to Manassas, but if you take all emotion out of it at the end of the day Manassas has not played a team as complete as Humboldt. Even the Scotts Hill coach noted in the paper that they were not ready for what they came into. If they meet up it will be a great clash of the titians. Your reply was a little better it needs a little more political correctness to it, but I will take what i can get

Again Insults get you know where... Believe me if the heart is not pumping fully the body will not function properly. A bad game is more than just points.... It could be all around... fouls, points, assists, rebounds can all take a hit. You guys have to know that basketbal is more of a mental game also.... We will see what happens. Again Insults get you no where in life and I hope that you will learn this eventually
