For those of you who " Think This Quote Is From A Coach " is wrong. I am a LONG TIME fan of basketball and a Union City Tornado/Obion County Central Fan. We are just happy to have a coach that has tradition and knowlege on his side. His family means a lot to the Kenton & Union City Fans alike. No, Shane did not write this. He was out celebrating with his team and support staff while everyone else who lost was wondering what happened. We here in Western Tennessee give credit where credit is due and it starts with the coach and then the team. Maybe someday your school and fans will know what we are talking about. Congrats Union City on Gold Ball #4

Two things that Kills " SPEED & DEFENSE " . Grace didn't have the speed, scoring ability, bench or coaching ability to over come what Union City had to offer. Anytime you coach against a coach who had ( 4 ) Gold balls in his pocket ( 1 - Kenton H. S & 3 - Union City ( Now 4 ) he has the upper hand. We ALL knew in Union City and even west Tenessee that with the Sisco family coaching our team it would take much more than any single A team had to offer to beat U C., Great Job Union City for winning the GOLD Ball.

First, Let's start by saying how LUCKY we are here in Union City to have a coach Like Shane Sisco that has spent his entire life breathing basketball. I can remember the days back when he would assist his father " Marty Sisco " ( which also brought back 3 GOLD ball to Union City ) at Kenton High School walking the sideline with his father each night when a game was played. Infact, I know when Shane played college basketball at ( UTM ) University of Tennessee @ Martin, he would assist the assistant coaches by coaching one of the squads during practice and the head coach would take the other. Second, to also have his father by his side during these past few seasons as a assistant coach. I know from what was told today after the game that this was the FIRST time a father and son had State Basketball Championships from the same school. We are and have been very BLESSED over the years here at Union City High School to have had the success in ALL Sports. I do and we all do understand that you have to have a team effort ( which we did ) , coaches and players alike. But a team is only as good as its players and coaches. This tournament run and season was one for the memory books and just think how lucky you would be to have WON and Coached a State Champion Team Like we saw with Union City this week and your father & or son there by your side as the assistant. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES YOU HAVE PROVIDED FOR THE UNION CITY FANS MARTY & SHANE and we look foward to more in the future!!!!! The End

About the " So called BIG Man ". I wasn't at the game but had several friends there and did see highlights on the T V. The BIG man needs some weight and when I was told they didn't have a bench , we ALL knew here in U C that the FAT Lady was already warming up and ready to sing at the game. One thing, 14 A is the best and hardest in Single A and the East doesn't really play anyone unless you are in AA or AAA and then at best is no Match to the West. Great Job Union City and looking foward to seeing the team on Sunday at the Celebration!!!!!!
