My fear is when our current representatives in Nashville reboot the voucher legislation this Spring, we will see this problem rise to a new level. Something to think about when you contact your representatives and senators. Urge them to vote against vouchers. It only failed last year because they tried to make it too widespread and Haslem wanted to slow walk it. Had this passed last year, you might have seen Grace welcome the two players from Rockwood with your tax dollars footing the bill. These schools are not held to the No Child Left Behind requirements and testing. Therefore, they shouldn't be allowed to receive state funding. I hope this doesn't happen, but it is hard to imagine next fall without this occurrence.

That's a shame. I happen to know the Indians crave your approval slinger. Maybe we will earn it someday.

Does this mean that if my child has D-I capabilities, you could just slap me on the back of a garbage truck? I mean....I'm sure that would never happen or anything. My child having D-I capabilities I mean.

Coalfield 3 penalties for 14 yds Oneida 5 penalties for 59 yds (3 15 yarders in the 3rd quarter 2 personal fouls and one pass interference)

There are few single A bands that come to mind. Throughout the season most schools that I see do not even produce a halftime show. I follow Oneida and they do a good job especially considering that there has been so much turnover at the director's position. However, Harriman deserves mention as their band puts on a great show year in and year out. Hopefully, some of the smaller schools in the area will be able to strengthen their programs in the coming years.

These games will not be on Oneida radio WBNT.

Bad Post.....anyone watching the game knows that the referees had zero impact either way. The Lady Buffaloes post game and the lack of aggressiveness from the Lady Indians doomed them in the decisive 3rd quarter. Impressive win for the Range. Lady Indians showed something in the 1st half. They will just have to find a way to bring that intensity for 4 quarters. With Powell and Loudon looming there is no time to rest or blame refs. The 1st half Lady Indians looked like they could play with any single A team at this point. As an Oneida fan the kind words about our fans, gym, and Nick Manis (the National Anthem singer) are much appreciated. Good luck to Coach Rogers and his ladies....we'll see you Jan. 30th at your place. I hope we can bring 4 quarters there with us.

Which as I understand it is why the request was made to be on the home bench.

This was addressed at the region meeting where it was "agreed" that Oneida would sit on the home bench. However, the Cosby coach changed his mind and called Oneida Monday morning to request that his team be allowed to wear the home unis and sit on the home bench. So, the "bad taste" comment would change now that you are more informed, correct ? On the second point, I recommend the Hampton Inn. We stayed there last year and many times before.

I believe it goes to record vs. 3rd place team, in this case Coalfield. OS is 2-0....Oneida is 1-1. It would take losses to both Oakdale and Sunbright for OS to fall to 2nd.

C Range should be well rested. They cancelled the road trip to Oneida tonight due to "flu outbreak." The Oneida game is rescheduled for Sat. 1:00 PM.

Oneida 73 Union County 31

ptgaurd12....I enjoy your weekly informed and unbiased "take" on 1A. Just a note on Oneida, they are playing in the TDS Telecom Tournament at Halls (Knox). They defeated Gibbs 85-58 this morning and will play the winner of Bradford vs. Powell tomorrow at 4:00 PM. Not sure where the incorrect schedule listing came your way, but they will have a game Wed. also. Again, nice job with the poll.

The "chill" is back and in "kilter"........
