Well, I can speak for Red Boiling Springs and yes they do have a pretty good Freshman class coming in next year. They should be very good as they grow older and get accustomed to the high school game. Ashton Gentry-C-Physical down low, big presence, can put the ball in the hole Amber Claywell-PG-Sees the floor well, can knock down the outside shot good Tess Copas-G-Fills the role of 3 guard pretty well, can also shoot well Ellie Boles-G-Great ball handling for a taller 2-Guard I only look for good things from these girls as they mature. When this group is Juniors and Seniors, I think they have a legitimate shot at the 7A crown. Maybe before then.

First of all, I think that the Murphy Center facilities are a great place for the tournament. It provides for a great basketball atmosphere. On another note, I have never been pleased with the staff from MTSU during the tournament and even not during the tournament. I attended college there for one semester and I just didn't like it. They treat you as a number, not as a person. But this is just my own personal opinion.

Well, there seems to be all different thoughts about Ms. Snow. To some she is a "hottie," to some she is "classless," to others she is just a great all around athlete and good person. Personally, she is probably the top player in A basketball. She has great height, when she gets the ball down low she finds a way to score whether it's a layup or going to the line for free throws which she converts well, and I do think she also is classy. I didn't think a thing about her taking the shot while Peabody was trotting off the floor. She was just caught up in the moment. I agree with an earlier post that said Peabody was unclassy walking off the floor because they were defeated. She should give a lot of credit to her dad who has done everything to see that she has the best there is when it comes to the game. Good luck Michelle in "Bama at Montevallo. I wish that you were able to play in the OVC around here!

Our Lady Bulldogs from Red Boiling Springs defeated Clarkrange during the regular season. That is something great to be able to say...you beat the state champs! Congrats again Lady Buffs on the championship!

Hey Michelle, you are one excellent basketball player! You have a God-given talent and I have been pleased getting to watch you play over your career from the opposite sidelines. Again, Congratulations on you and your teams' accomplishments. I wish you the best of luck in College. Asst. Coach Brandon Woodard, RBS GO DISTRICT 7A!

Jimbo, bob77 told me that I sat just to the right of you guys yesterday. I didn't know which one was you. But you are exactly right. The Coaching in this area is one of a kind. Lamar Rogers, Lesley Smith, Jim Brown, Rick Insell, it's great. There are also other coaches who don't have the gold but have some great credentials...Joe Sims who has 4 silvers, a young Michael Dodgen, experienced Larry White, the coaches in our area are unbelieveable.

Hey Devil, where have you got your information from that Jackson County is definitely dropping back to Class A? I'm not second guessing you at all, just curious. The TSSAA hasn't even gathered enrollment numbers from the schools yet, or even met to decide when they will get the information. Nobody will know until July according to Ronnie Carter. I will say this however, if the Blue Devils do come back to A ball, things will get extremely interesting. 7A will be probably the second toughest district in girls basketball in the state behind 7AA. 7A may include Jackson County, Clarkrange, Clay County, Pickett County, Red Boiling Springs. Man that's going to be tough.

And Clarkrange has Lamar Rogers...

LA played an excellent game tonight. I was scared to death when they were down 8-0 at the start of the game, but the girls stormed back and controlled the rest of the game. Beechboard and the crew deserved everything that they got in the tournament. Congratulations girls and way to go Upper Cumberland Basketball today in the 'Boro!

7 Gold Balls for Lamar Rogers and his Lady Buffaloes. '83,'84,'85,'87???,'90,'95,'04. Nice long list for Clarkrange. Great job girls. You couldn't have played any better today. I am so proud that you have brought the gold ball back to 7A. Michelle Snow played the best basketball of her life tonight, along with all of the other girls also. Great day for basketball.

I am in complete agreement with you coach15. I think that Upper Cumberland basketball is the best in the state on the girls' side. When it comes to state contention, it's like you said... Clay County, Clarkrange, Jackson County, Livingston Academy, Upperman, Pickett County...it's amazing. And if we had any AAA schools I'm sure they would be good too! Today was a great day for basketball in the UC. The Clarkrange and Livingston crowds were amazing. I sat in the middle of both of them. What an electrifying day. Congrats LA and Clarkrange!

Hey jimbobcooter, you have me wondering who you are also. I think I've got an idea but I'm not positive. You said that you knew who I was during basketball season on the boards. Any hints you can give me?

Catalyst, bob77 is talking about the game you guys played against Jackson County at our Christmas Tournament in Red Boiling Springs when Zach hit the huge three at the buzzer to win the game. I totally agree, Custer is a major baller. He is quick off the dribble and can shoot the lights out.

Sleep, LA plays Oliver Springs today at 5:30 today. Go 7AA from a happy 7A fan who is proud to see a 7A team in the Championship!

Congratulations Clarkrange on a huge win against Huntingdon today! District 7A is looking better and better all the time. So how will the Championship shake out on Saturday? Defending champion against a team who has won 6 gold balls in the school's history. Should be a great one. I'll see everyone in the 'Boro tomorrow. Good Luck Lady Buffaloes!

It was locked in at 10-8 Clarkrange forever until finally Huntingdon finally got a basket and then things opened back up. Clarkrange hit a 3 right before halftime to make the score 16-12 at halftime Lady Buffaloes.

Red Boiling Springs High School has an annual Christmas tournament, usually the week before Christmas. We've only been able to get 5 teams lately, but we're looking for more so that we can have pool play and everyone will be guaranteed 3 games during the tournament. If interested, contact Coach Owens @ 615-699-2365 or Coach Woodard @ 615-478-2952.

GO LADY BUFFALOES! Represent 7A well!

I have decided to stay at home tonight instead of going to Hartsville tonight. For the rest who have decided the same as I have, Hartsville's radio station is 1090 AM. I know the game will be broadcast on there. I also know that Celina's radio station is 101.5 FM...but will they be carrying the game? I am not sure and would like to know.

I agree completely with what Ragland said. Back in the day, you saw more schools that were either grades K-12 or 7-12, and there were fewer 9-12 schools, especially at the Class A level. Now most high schools are out by theirselves with grades 9-12 and the lower grades are in a different school building. You may not think this to be the case, but when you have all of K-12 in the same building, your fan base is much better and much more supportive than those whose high schools are just 9-12. It makes a huge difference. At the high school I graduated from that I am an assistant coach for now, it's a K-12 school. Children start playing from the time they're 6 up until they're 18 all for the same school. It's like everyone involved is family so the support is almost always there. It helps bring the small Community together. So to say that our support in our teams here in my hometown is down would not be true. I can see it though in other schools that we play against. Have a good day!

Go Lady Bulldogs! I hope you represent 7A well!

Hey guys, speaking of SSS, how is the Leonard girl from Red Boiling Springs doing down there so far? I'm glad Coach Brown decided to move her down there with him. I think this will be the very best thing for her as far as advancing her playing ability, which is already astounding for a 12 year old. Good luck Laken!

From an outside fan, I want to congratulate the Lady Blue Devils on an incredible run the past 4 years and for another unforgettable season this year. Even though you came up short of another title, DON'T GET DOWN ON YOURSELVES!!! You should be very proud of the accomplishments that you have made throughout the past years, and to you Seniors, you will forever leave a bearing on others because they will always remember the years of the Jackson County Blue Devils AA State Championships. To the rest of the team, I know how Coach Brown can work his magic and I know you'll be right up at the top in years to come. AA basketball in this state is in my opinion the most competitive class in the state. 7AA is the toughest District and 4AA is the hardest Region in the state. You have showed that you can make it through all of these and that in itself shows that you are all winners! Great job girls and good luck season the remaining players and good luck Marissa at Tennessee Tech next year. I'll probably see you playing up there for Coach Worrell.

Well since there is a lot at stake in this Big Ones contest for the plus members, when will you update the standings and find out where everyone stands?

Sorry bob, that was just the information on the radio.
