Well, I did not expect Cosby fans to get on here and just give out a scouting report about their team. I was simply womndering what other East Tennesseeans thought about Cosby. The West runs TN basketball so when you come to the Boro and see all of the talent from West TN and after we take the crown in all three classes just remember that I told you so. I am a Humboldt graduate and a current MTSU student, I know basketball, and I am going to give you a FREE SCOUTING REPORT ON HUMBOLDT! They are quick, they have senior leadership, the underclassmen are tough, they play tight defense, they can shoot the rock, and (what I consider there best feat.) they get every rebound that comes off the glass. So, your 34-1 record may be impressive to you people in East TN, but West TN basketball requires you playing some tough teams. You may think y'all are awesome, but who have you played. The twenty teams y'all have played have an average record of 13-15. You blow out sorry teams and play decent teams really close. Bring on all challengers. The West will shine again at the Boro just as they did last year.

I am from Humboldt; I can not stand Weddle because he like Duke's JJ Reddick; he is one of those players that does not go away. He keeps shooting and plays hard all day long. I have seen him play several times this year and most definitely deserves the Mr. Basketball Award. He has averaged 26 all year long and threw down 46 in a loss to Humboldt in the Region Finals. Just becuase he has one bad game does not mean he losses the award. Hats off to Weddle.

Because we lost a large number of students dropping us down to A, and Union City is the same way. Both of us were in AA last year and they should have made it to state. However, we are going to show everybody in TN that the teams from West TN will bring home the golden ball in every class for the second year in a row. It is a different kind of basketball here; Middle and West TN just cannot play like them boys from West TN. Humboldt can play with anyone in A; bring on all challengers, even if you are 34-1.

Just for the record. 2005 Humboldt graduate Joe Shivers, who is about 6' 2'' and weighs around 170, shattered a backboard by himself in 2003.

I would like to congratulate Union City on a big win on the road at Middleton. Most of all, congratulations to the Humboldt Viknings for beating MC. What I do not understand is.... How can UC get in what is perceieved as "the easier bracket," and Humboldt (who has beaten UC three times already and most notably in the Region Championship) get in the bracket with the top two teams in the state (Cosby and Grace Baptist)? TSSAA ought to do away with the blind draw and rank the teams in some type of system, making the top ranked team play the lowest of the eight ranked teams and so. UC may make it to the championship, and Humboldt may not, but I will go ahead and guarantee a Humboldt win if they both make it to the championship. Go Vikings.

Have you seen them play? Are you from out East?

Just wondering if anyone in East TN has any information on Cosby. Does their 34-1 record speak for itself? Overrated? What type of game do they play? Good bench? Top players?
