P.A.Lin-Z

It happened and I agree with you, but I don't think they saw it.

HAHAHAHAHAaaaaaa!!!!!! You may be right!!!!! But you will have to admit....it's been a long time since I've turned over any garbage cans on here. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> I guess it's old age or something. /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> We lost a big one this evening down in the land of the "walking catfish". I would like to say that it was a good game......so I'll leave it at that. Good job to Riverside....way to hit the ball. I don't think I've seen a game like that in some time that the hits were just out of reach .......for the most part.

Game one between Riverside and JCS. JCS 6....Riverside 4. Great game tonight and tomorrow night should be as well. Hayes was on the mound for Riverside and threw a fine game. Jones started for JCS and Noah Chandler finished up for the Eagles. The Eagles started out a little slow and the bats woke up late. Looking forward to traveling to Riverside for game two and meeting the fine folks at Riverside. That one was rained out last year and both games were played in Jackson. Good luck and GO EAGLES!!!!!!

Just when you think you've seen it all. Tonight at the JCS vs Riverside game.....keep in mind that this was game one of district play between the two teams........get this!!!!!! The field ump was on his cell phone while the ball was put into play by the home team.... Jackson Christian School. He said as he watched the ball go by, "I gotta go....they just hit the ball!!!!!" If I'm lying I'm dying!!!!!!! Another well known local ump was in attendance and had this to say as his comrade was engaged in conversation on the phone, "What's my boy doin' on the phone out there?" I kid you not.....it happened. Can you see a football referee running down the sidelines with cell phone to his ear and saying as the quarterback hurls the ball down field, "I gotta go....he just throwed the ball." How about on the basketball court. I don't guess I'm complaining, just thought it was a little more serious than that. If I was a coach on either team I'd call time and let him take a phone break.....maybe even a smoke or even a bar-b-que bologna sandwich break...LOL!!!!! lmbo!!!!

I was looking forward to seeing Lexington play tonight at JCS. Due to the weather that one has been cancelled......looking forward to a make up.....maybe.

Chuck Cooper....JCS

I've got a senior too......I'm sure this season will be a blur. There's alot of stuff to do to get ready for graduation and not enough time to slow down and enjoy it. He's got to pass first!!!!!! LOL!!!!! #1 priority.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! Yes you did sell out....that was some good stuff. I got the last dip of chocolate ice cream...I had to mix it with vanilla. I went back up into our crowd with that and thought I was going to get mugged. That was a good idea......and a great way to make some money....my hat's off to you.

Is this the same man that was paid to run amuck (What does amuck mean anyways?) the crowd at the state tournament eating a chocolate ice cream covered brownie (that should have had side boards I might add) with hopes that folks would see it and want some of their own? If not.....who was that man? No wonder it was all gone when I tried to buy some.

I hear you on that!!!!! I can't catch mine anymore either....that ended about 3 years ago. Long gone are the days of throwing batting practice. Do you know how many baseballs are in one of those tall baseball buckets? WOW!!!! I can't see the fastball anymore.....when I do catch it....I can't move my hand for a week.

KEEP THE tssaa OUT OF OUR BUSINESS!!!!!! Let the parents and kids decide what's best for them......it's not that hard. Some of you folks need to lose the welfare mentality.....we don't need government or any organization deciding what's best for "Little Billy". Furthermore I don't figure the almighty tssaa will get involved ....UNLESS....there is an opportunity for bug bucks to be made off "Little Billy" and the onturage that always follows him around....namely....dads, mothers, brothers, sisters, grand dads, grand mothers....etc....

Well said. To me it all boils down to the ability of the parent to do the best they can for their child. That's the most important thing. I'll also say this, if you see a successful public system, most of the time it's because of strong parent support. This really is the same thing that happens at the private level. It's people that want better and are willing to work for it to have it. Believe me I don't have deep enough pockets for private.....and I still support public with taxes and even donations when I can because I still believe in it.

Do the people that voted yes think their kids are just not good enough to match up with the privates? I don't think so. Not being derogatory at all.....just wondering if your kids might be buying into this idea a little. Most of the time folks will use what ever excuse they can find win they lose. I say work harder, set goals for your team, BELIEVE!!!! COMPETE!!!!! The almight TSSAA cannot make winners out of whinners. /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> What satisfaction would that be if all privates in DI had to move up to AAA and you got to win that way? My answer to the original question......I don't care either way, I think we could get passed it because the work ethic alone is different. Another thing......If the private schools here in Jackson went DII and were aloud to recuit and give financial aid....there would be a loud sucking sound in the public schools of talent leaving and going private.

The reason there are none is because most private schools have numbers to be in A. Because of the multiplier rule some have to play up in AA. Not really sure what your point is I guess. I think most private schools would do pretty well in AAA. I would think it would be good motivation to build a public school team into a winning program instead of rolling up and quiting every year. What about the public schools that made it to the fling this year.....in my opinion they had as much talent as anyone else. There are alot of teams out there that are loaded with talent and the reason they don't win is because all they hear from the coaches and parents is, "We just can't match up with the privates." You are just telling these kids that they are just not as good as everybody else. I and a bunch of others happen to know better......I know kids in the public schools systems that are the best....they are just not made to believe it. Man up people and make winners instead of whinners. Sometimes I think these kids would be better off if this whinning bunch of quitters would just all get together and take up knitting or something (I put that mildly....I do have other thoughts of what they can do with their time.....but, that will be in a different post.)

What is it that you people don't understand about the difference between D-I and D-II schools? DI private schools don't give scollarships or recruit players.....or atleast they're not supposed to. If you have knowledge of it and can prove it....report it. It's that simple. As far as the amount of players that play a sport and recieve a scholarship to play......all of them that qualify....in DII. You probably need to keep it in perspective when you ask a question about private schools. Simplified....are you talking about DI or DII? That will help you understand it better. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

I also want to thank the folks at Riverdale and for doing a great job hosting this tournament.....the concession stand was awesome and cheap. Chocolate icecream brownie for two dollars? Are you kiddin' me?!!!!!!!! Where else can you get a deal like that?

Waaaaaaay to go EAGLES!!!!!! Congrats to the team and coaching staff on a fine season, playoffs, and championship game. Way to go Coach Cooper......."Coach Of The Year." /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" /> Way to go JCS seniors!!!!!! We will miss you and your crazy parents. LOL!!!! JCS got the opportunity to play four great teams....teams that were loaded with talent. As for the Mustangs of Huntingdon Tennessee.......I've had the opportunity over the years to watch most of these kids play. I've gotten to know their parents and it was fitting that the two schools should dance in the big one. I am very proud that you guys made it and am very proud to hear your names called in the lineup and see you on the playing field. I will be looking for you in the future. It was an honor. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

I'll say this......baseball is the greatest show on earth.....you just never know what your gonna get. I love it!!!! Good luck to Rockwood.....I for one am looking forward to seeing this match up and also meeting some of the fans. GO JCS EAGLES!!!!

You said, "Publics arent on equal footing" You know why.......we've lost control of our government. It's gone socialist for the most part. We don't have any say anymore in what happens in our schools and with the money spent. Too many free hand outs and dumbing down of our kids have produced the mess our state funded schools are in. When we were at Liberty the baseball booster club had to raise the money for the girls softball field lights as well as their own and then install it for them.....Why is that? Well...glad you asked......Title 9. Enough said!!!!! Yeah....I gladly choose to send my son to private school. I will sell aluminum cans if I have to to do so.....and I will still keep on paying taxes to support public schools......I have no choice. I'm old enough to remember prayer in public schools. I'm also old enough to remember the bible being read in public schools. I'm thankful for a school that you can hear a prayer before the national anthem at a baseball game. Yeah....we may have to pay for that priviledge, but it's well worth it. An old preacher from Mississippi told me one time, "Son....you have what you have because that's what you want." I said all that to say this......there's just a little more to it than an unfair advantage. People go the private route for the same reason folks jump out of a sinking ship. And by the way.....I'm not "playing" any cards here. God bless public and private schools and may the best team win. Back to the subject.......I can wait to see some of the other teams from across the state that I've heard so much about but haven't seen yet. Good luck to all!!!!!

My favorite sound effects are Nascar and the eagle.

Couldn't have said it better.

bmoy......The Voice Of The Eagles I'm gonna give credit where credit is due. You are the man!!!! You do it up right..... Numero uno in homerun calls. #1 in double play calls. Stands alone in in trivia questions. Best sound effects. By far best music in the country. Best concession stand infomercials Best player intro and walk up music As a member of The National Honor Society....voted most intelligent gameday announcer. #1 in school spirit /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" /> GO EAGLES!!!!!

Congrats to Patrick Taggart for a great win on the mound and the rest of the Eagles for a big win.....that was team work. That was an unbelievable baseball atmosphere last night. Congrats to Coach Cooper and Coach Carson on their trip to "The Boro". Good luck....stay safe....and win the last game!!!!!!!!! GO EAGLES!!!!!!

Whoa.....this one is getting away fast!!!!

You get there late and leave before it's over.....what's up with that? LOL. Sorry I didn't get a chance to holler at you tonight.....I'll catch up with you later and you can buy me supper...LOL!!!! /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />
