The Maryville Rebel football team a couple years ago overcame six turnovers to claim yet another state championships ring...point is, you don't have to catch all the breaks to win championships. You've got to have a few guys/COACHES who will step above the rest, making the plays when needed. D-B did that, but let's face it, Farragut did it a little bit better. Catapano is as good as they come for high school pitchers and you almost beat him, so take what you learned from this game and apply it next year.

Great season, D-B. 33 wins in 38 games. Impressive. There aren't many teams in the country who can consistently beat Caddie, so don't hang your heads. Always next year to make it to state, right?

Good post, Vandy.

What a match-up...Maybe the best hitting team in the area opposite the most dominant pitcher in the area. I give the edge to Caddie and the Admirals. It's a big game and Caddie always comes up big. Joyce will need to rely on his curve. Fastball isn't much. Farragut can handle Joyce. Admirals win 6-1.

half true...The Indians used a 5th inning 8-run rally to down the Pats in five tonight, 10-0. The latter had many defensive miscues, and the home team made them pay with timely hits and good at-bats that turned a close game into a one-sided mary-go-round. Joyce was a bull dog on the mound, winning his second game of the year against the Pats. Good luck to the Tribe Friday night as they take on Knoxville's finest.

Who came out on top in the district championship game today?

I don't know of any regional match-up more hyped than this one. The superior line-up would seemingly be the Red Devils, but ever since i've competed with/against Caddy, he's been the man in big games. If the Admirals plate 2, they win.

Greenville has some of the lowest class fans i have seen all year they are ridiculous they even try to start stuff with the kids who their kids are playing lets get some class before next year greenville

I don't think jeff really has a chance to win the district but anything can happen i have seen you all and west play the most this year if you al play with the heart and determination that you all played west the first time you all can beat anyone but if you don't you all might be going home after the greenville game

Jefferson County is starting a freshman this year and he is amazing Carson Newman's coach was overheard wanting to speak to him after a game then he heard he was a freshman the kid is good and he will be around for a while and he might have a chance at being keep of the year in the IMAC

i guess it is just going to depend on which team shows up for both teams but it might be the best game of the tournament

If SH comes out and plays agressive against west knocking them around a bit it will be a easy win for SH west besides there defense is a small team and is easy to knock around but i think west has a little more tactical advantage it should be a great game

i just don't understand greenville it is really bad that you all could not at least finish second in the conference especially with the talent you all have and the lack of talent throughout the conference good luck in the tournament though

So...why do you drive in a parkway and park in a driveway? Always seemed weird to me. And we wonder why English is such a difficult language to learn.

nope not a chance i agree you all have a good group of players but i would not call it a good team but i do think you all have done a great job rebuilding but i just don't think you all have the talent to match up well enouhg with morristown west

Same result as before greenville doesn;t have a good enough defense to beat west hopefully you all do better than before

In response to the title of the thread "South Doyle who," I think they're the Cherokees.

From what i have heard the greenville boys are the one that told them they were going to kick somones butt in the parking lot after the game and both teams were in the parking lot trying to fight so how would it be just jeff county trying to fight sounds like both coaches could have got a little bit of discipline issues but what is the deal with the refs in this area the mw jeff game the coaches refed the game from the sideline and last night i understand it was just the same considering two coaches got yellow cards arguing calls last night i think something needs to be done although the refs had nothing to do with the outcome of the game it would just be nice to see consitently good calls as opposed to inconsistently calling bad ones

Drew Story has improved immensley and will continue his career at East Tennessee State University. He puts the ball where he wants and messes with hitter's timing. Should hear more about him as his college career unfolds.

Michael Tucker of Jefferson County is HANDS DOWN not only the best scorekeeper of his era, but of all-times. Never in my life have I seen a young man so determined to keep a good book. His work ethic is unmeasurable and unteachable. Occasionally, he likes to joke around with coach saying, "Please let me play." Of course, we know he must only be joking, but anyway, back on topic. Michael Tucker is not the most gifted book keeper, but his determination and love of the book keeps him among the elite.

IS this for real?

Hey, why don't you start a new thread. It could be called "Grammar Usage 101." Let us talk baseball on here, sir William Shakespeare.

If the administration thinks there are other adults better fit to discipline and mold these kids, why is Stansbury still allowed to teach at the school where he associates with many more teenagers than he does on the baseball diamond? Give me a break, the administration sought the easy way out, giving the parent his way. This is truly an example of a single parent holding a grudge simply because his kid wasn't a good enough athlete to play, and because that single parent handled the matter in an immature manner, coach Stansbury loses his job. I've heard the story from a reliable source. F-bombs weren't flying everywhere. Maybe two. His intentions were to motivate a team who just absolutely collapsed mentally.(which I think has to do with molding them into 'men.') Good job West. You lost a good one.

East can flat-out smash the ball, but I don't know if they can go into JC and take both. Should be a GREAT day for the IMAC on Tuesday when East and Jeff battle.
