like i said at the start of the season 1st and 2nd i think are sound even though db lost to central, and the rest will be up for grabs, too many of the teams are close an could win on any night, several big games coming up, sh and th high, db and east. i heard east scored over 90 pts again 2nd game in a row could friday night be 3? i think db has regrouped since the central game and will start taking care of business. big 9 is interesting leading up to the arbys!!

i think south has a good match up with centrals inside could come down to outside shooting.

if you knew aything about the big 9 you should know when the high schools were build including central!!! east was build in 1969 same year as central. mary hughes, bluff city and holston valley combined to form east, blountville and holston combined for central. north and south followed after these. and yes i was a dad of a player in the big 9 several years ago.

cross played for mason in middle school for 3 years and ended up the all time middle school scorer there. so i would guess he and mason spend alot of time together in the gym!!

just a note they were handing out a paper at the east game friday the game with crockett has been changed to tues night at east due to floor problems at crockett. i also think volunteer will defeat th high the rest of your prediction my be true, are you saying east is better than expected?

the only players from east on that team playing now is dishner, and cross. the jr class at east now played agaist mary hughes in the championship games in middle school when cross was a 7th grader. so the next 2 years could be good for east if you consider the past!!! also central was suppose to beat east after all they were picked 2nd or 3rd, so db might have a fight on their hands friday night. the season in the big 9 looks to be interesting this year.

east has always been a 3 pt shooting team, seems they always endup with 1 or 2 players that can fill it up. if the in side keeps coming around it may not be the end of the season teams will worry about playing them, good test next week they got db in kingsport, i think they have opened some eyes after last night.

yes that bridge was missing several boards and was closed for awhile but has been rebuilt and is still used today. glad to see some of the soph guys had a good game tonight especially brandon for ae congrat on the win keep it up.

i take it you have been on egypt road in bluff city?

what was the score and who played their best for both teams?

well rebel i will tell you how to lose to east let them shot the 3 ball, if it is falling anybody in the big 9 will go down in defeat tothem, i would guess about 20 3's was made between both teams with roberts making almost all of them for central, east was spead out over the team which makes them hard to beat. i don't know what was wrong with devault tonight i didn't think he played enough!!

i was also at the game tonight and i thought it was one of the best called games i have watched in the big 9 this year, i would also say east never GOT alot of calls but it the calls that was made was correct calls for a change, still alot of fouls inside but over all was probly a B called game. the point guard for central was hurt that would have made a diffence but i don't think 30 pts.

ballking2008 do you ever get to come to the northeast tn to was some games in the big9? if so do you see any young talent from this area such as soph or jrs.? i know there are a lot of talent in the knox area.

this must to have been a normal vol team game from what i read in the paper today, 2 int, 2 tech,54 fouls and 72 free throws glad to see the officials calling what they should hope their calling continues to stop a lot of the fouls and the palyers can play the way the should.

i didn't mean central would have lost or db would have won if the officiating would have been better but i agree it is terrible on both sides i hope their boss has a meeting with them and puts his foot down on the way it is going now. also you have been pretty good on prediction so far what about friday night game?

cap1 i think if you look back i picked central 3rd and said they did have a good team. even by centrals win last night i still think they are 3rd after that it will be close, tn high went to ot last night agasit boone which has won how many games? they are several teams close in the conference this year for a change and should be several good games. maynot be the talent the big 9 has been use to over the years. jmo

i have seen several big 9 games this year and this is the worst i have seen for officating. they are watch the ball instead of the shooters and jerseys being held and players dribble by and then they make a hand check call. i think if they make and call a good game for both teams their are a lot of teams that could make a difference at the end of the game by freethrows. but you have to also look at what teams get the calls because of tourn. jmo

oh forgot to ask has was your alls vacation? haven't heard from any of you since the sh game!! glad to see you got back o.k.lol

good job central i guess i missed this one. just don't let somebody slip up on you!!!!

tyler is a great athlete not only in basketball. do you know why he decided to quite?

austin east has a good soph that will make a difference in their season, lopez. sullivan east has cross, central has winchell i think all these will make a difference for their teams by their senior year. jmo

db will beat them worse than the hill, central don't have a chance agaist the inside. 87 to 52

i wil agree wityou tonight the pats coun't guard their shadow. i had seen better defense in middle school if this was the best they have look out in the bottom. i will also say t high don't have much bench but cantyand youn cn be tough to handle. i guess this was why you never had to writ much in your pad tonight wasn't it. i had seen east play alot better but tonight was bad, i thought both teams showed good things at times but like you said with the great defense east played anyone would havelooked good.

if you keep this up you will see a lot of good talent across the east tn this season, but whats is wrong with the palace? it is central made over except for the colors.

what about the tn high and east game may be a good one what do you think, i think it would be better than the db crockett game!!
