I'd like to make an appeal to all school's fans to help out coachT by posting your schools scores and schedules. It's very easy and it's informative for members. A quick look of the scoreboard for Tuesday shows 15 boys scores still missing. Teams like Brentwood, Germantown, Munford, Hunters Lane, Jellico, Red Bank, Manassas, etc. I know fans of those schools are on this forum...so help out. If the game was cancelled or rescheduled--email coachT so he can make the changes.

Pruden High School was actually located in Claiborne County on the KY border. It closed in the mid-60s...and I believe they were called the Panthers. Stony Fork School in Campbell County closed just last year. They played basketball up until the late 60s and I actually saw them in a District tournament one time. SF only had like 30 kids in the whole school---located in the most remote spot in the US, I believe! I think they were the Vikings or Mountain Vikings. The Norma Wildcats and Robbins Hawks consolidated along with Huntsville into Scott County/Scott High. I remember when Norma had a basketball player named Henry Hutson who led the state in scoring one year.

If anyone has the Hancock Co-Washburn final please post it on the scoreboard. Thanks!

coacht, God bless you and your son. James 5:16

Halls wins 86-60.

I think you have to give Upperman's coaches and kids a lot of credit for making a long trip across the Plateau on short notice. As a Clinton fan, I hope Coach Lockard will return the favor and give them a home game in the future. Go Dragons.

Latest weather forecast has moderate-to-heavy rain in ET Thursday--turning to snow showers and windy Friday. Any thoughts on who has the advantage on a cold, muddy field?

Maryville scores after Knox Central fumble. Maryville-21 Knox Central-17 (8:30 3rd)

Maryville scores on first possession of second half. Knox Central leads 17-14.

Austin-East-24 Anderson County-21 FINAL.

60 yard TD run for Austin-East. PAT no good. Austin-East leads 24-21 with 5:00 left.

Anderson County-21 Austin-East-18 AC punting with 7:00 left in game.

Appreciate it! Sounds like a couple of outstanding tournaments.

Alcoa-35 Wartburg-0 (2:00 2nd)

Campbell Co.-6 Karns-0 (half)

Any word on the Christmas tourneys or Classics the Dragons will be playing this year? For instance, will they be going back to Kentucky or the Bradley tourney?

For the record, since the instituition of the 5 classifications, Clinton was always classified as a 4-A team. But for many years they elected to play a 5-A schedule. The decision to go ahead and play a 4-A schedule several years ago was based on area rivalries and attendance and not that they thought they could "dominate" 4-A. If anything, it was easier to make the playoffs in 5-A.

Unfortunately, with all the turmoil, defections and injuries, Clinton is having to play mostly Freshmen and Sophomores. They're basically a JV-team playing 4-A football. Not pretty to watch. But hopefully there will be better days ahead for these kids.

Personally, I don't care for the shot clock. And I don't know how well it would work in some of the smaller more-cramped gyms. Placement of the shot-clock might be a problem. If the TSSAA does go to a shot clock I would like to see it around 60 seconds. That would allow the patient teams time to work for a shot while doing away with an outright stall.
