The games this week between SC and Jasper will be fun to watch and will set things up for the tournament. You are right whoever comes out on top this week will have to do it again when it matters.

Jasper is running their mouths because they know whats coming. They won't have anything to say in a few weeks. They will be very lucky to split with SC.

We planned on sweeping Jasper anyway.

The boys at Marion & Sequatchie have developed a rivalry through Dizzy Dean, Middle School and now High School. They know each other very well and the next couple of years should be very exciting between the two. Marion has an advantage because their juniors and seniors have been well coached the last two years while the Sequatchie juniors & seniors have really not been coached at all. Sequatchie has a new coach that is working them real hard but they have to overcome the last two years. Sequatchie has an advantage because all of the core juniors and seniors are still playing baseball while several of Marion's players have quit to concentrate on other sports. The season starts next week, we'll see soon enough.

Muir and Guyear are very good ballplayers and Marion has more than those two but we'll see who's laughing soon enough. Marion will have all they can handle from Sequatchie. Whoever wins the valley side of the district should win the district overall.

The boys from Sequatchie that have done something in the past are finally the heart of the team, the valley side of the district will be between SC and Jasper. The boys from both schools have been heated rivals for years and they know each other well, should be exciting when they match up. The Chattanooga side of the district should be Chattanooga Christian followed by Hixson. SC's new coach is working them very hard, they will improve as the season progresses. Warning!!! Watch out for the Indians come tournament time!!!

Whitwell was overmatched talentwise. SC discovered that there is a game played inside the 3-point line, several nice assists to post players. There was no screaming from the coach, it was a good night for the seniors and the team. Now they have to get ready for CCS.

Make sure you ask questions about academics and find out the teams rate of retention on incoming freshman. Some coaches will talk a good game about how they keep watch over their teams academic progress but from experience I know that all of them don't.

Then you replace them with kids that will play the game right. After a game or two they will come around or they will sit. You can do that and never scream once.

That guy isn't there now, he needs to quit screaming at the kids and start coaching them. It is shameful that the coach will go 10 feet out on the floor to scream at an inexperienced kid when he makes a mistake. The kid and everyone in the gymn knew he made a mistake but the coach had to embarrass him further by going on the floor and screaming at him. The referees should have called a technical for him being on the floor. He drains all the confidence out of his team with his huge mouth. If he can't change his ways he needs to step aside and let someone else "teach" those kids how to play the game.

Unfortunately that's the way it always is with the SC boys team, year after year they have talent but they always play selfishly and underachieve. Someone needs to teach them how to play the game.

Marion Co is the team to beat in the valley side of the district but Sequatchie Co has the talent to beat them. The new coach is working them hard and trying to set the kids straight after 2 years of little to no coaching. The SC team will have no fear of MC since they had success against them in middle school. SC has a very difficult schedule and will be much improved even if record doesn't show it. The MC players and knowledgable fans know that SC shouldn't be taken lightly the next 2 years.

Once again the Indians showed how undisciplined they are, taking wild shots and driving to the basket when outnumbered when they should have been running out the clock. I guess it is hard to concentrate when your coach screams at you constantly but never takes action. The Indians would benefit from a brush up on the fundamentals like passing to the open man or playing defense. The record for the season doesn't reflect the talent the Indians have.

Sequatchie county looks the best to me.I've seen them play Meiggs and Rhea and they beat both of them pretty bad.There pitching has come through for them but there hitting has not done that well.

Sequatchie and Meigs were in a close game until the later innings when the Braves broke open the game. SC won in a closer game than the final score indicates 6-0. Braves played good defense, pitched well and had timely hitting late.
