Wow Phargis I think you do a good job posting on your opinion and views. Keep up the good work, love the fact that we can agree to disagree without problems. I do not post often but felt JoeyT was not being too kind especially since he just recently joined. Oh well good luck to all teams and may the best teams win! /flower.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":flower:" border="0" alt="flower.gif" />

Special transfer hummmmmmm maybe someone should be vocal about the academics at the surrounding schools does anyone know how the students scored on their act/sat's. Does anyone have a clue to the stats on the education side and which school has more tenure teachers. Lets face it LHS is being run by teachers who have stuck it out and continue to do just that so that one day these kids are given the same opportunities that others are receiving throughout the county, it is very unfortunate that our county leaders are continuing to drag their feet about making a new LHS a reality but it will eventually have to happen and when it does Lebanon will be even more inviting to their students. It just seems shameful that elected officials can't step up and do what is best for our children in our community. But really be careful what you wish for when you throw out special transfers that can be a two-way street. Take a good look at the Coaching staff at each of these schools look at what a first year coach has done thus far, LHS has taken it to a new level and lots of girls have been given an opportunity to play. Her coaching seems to represent something called TeamWork it hasn't always been about one or two players and teamwork seems to be what she strives for and certainly has shown in the past three games. So as I said be careful what you wish for.....never know! /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" />

Let there be a correction about the MT. Juliet Game/Lebanon it was a 10 point win over Lebanon not 20 and can't nobody say nothing negative about the Blue Devils they gave us a run for the money. Matter of fact was up double digit early in the game. It appears they need to learn to finish better and feel more confident about what they can do. Our girls stepped up the second half and created the win but it was not easy by no means.

Wow haven read through several of these remarks it saddens me and I really hope that the Fox Camp does not get a hold of this and decide to go across the county to another school. If this girl is as good as you say she is it is not because she is an "I" player it would more likely be because she is a team player and one would think that LHS would welcome the arrival to another one. And as for the existing team there are many rising stars on the team already that you overlooked and I am sure they would welcome one more on the team if that time comes. But it really blows my mind that a parent would speak of a 8th grader like this, not to mention then to throw other family members into the mix. One would wonder exactly what your intentions are entirely. It is really sad and part of the problem when parents get involved and make remarks such as this about a young person who probably simply just loves the game and Shows up to Play the game.

Wow! what a wonderful day in basketball and the future of Lebanon High School. Everyone concerned and those who care about Lebanon Blue Devil Basketball have an opportunity to continue the path that Darien left with all the same positive attitude that was given to him. The future is the most important aspect to this puzzle. Parents, Students and Blue Devil Fans if we all pitch in a positive effort we can and will accomplish great things in the future. Nothing but up hill from here. I have read about this young lady and she is indeed a Great Pick for program. Welcome her with open arms. Her success is our success and the future of many young ladies in Lebanon. It is time that The Lady Devils rise above and shine.. /flower.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":flower:" border="0" alt="flower.gif" />

I would have to agree with your comment but find it very interesting what an impact a formal Shelbyville player now coaching could be a really positive situation. I truly believe that if she played for Ensell and left him with a good standing not to mention worked hard for him then she has one angel on her shoulder. Lets face it he is one person that it doesn't hurt to have in your favor. Looking at the big picture Lebanon has the talent and can continue its postive direction moving forward what would be more hopeful is for the Parents and Players give 100% to the program to keep it moving forward. I see a bright future for the Lady Devils and think it even more important to bring in someone from outside. Totally unfortuniate to have loss Darien Brown but to have lost him to Wilson Central is almost a more positive thing than a negative one. At Least he is very much aware of the rumors or recruiting and seeing the kind of person he appears to be will not lower his standards to break the rules and for once keep Red and his Old Pap grounded from continuing to break them. /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

I have nothing but good things to say about this tournament, well run officals are fair and focused. I believe lady running it is Barbara Huff or Brenda Huff and Hats off to this lady her goal is to be the best and to get better every year and so far so good.

Not everyone has a link with a coach that is playing this weekend to get a schedule can you find it possible to post something!

Wow I was going to be in the area and wanted to see what kind of tournament this would be and I can't believe I can't find out any info on this. Do the teams even know their playtime. Where to look?

Well you are so right, postitive talk is important and for reasons parents saw fit to send them there may be reasons in the past. Lebanon High has a coaching staff now that is well worth being proud of. We all could agree when you put Pride & Support into the program it is destine to go somewhere.

Yes the talk is Darian Brown and the Lebanon Blue Devils and hopefully this year is the beginning of many more to come. Congrats Devils on a great year! Each and everyone should be proud! Nice Statement above about the Coach of the Century, Decade.

Well with JC out that could mean somethings but Central could pull the first game off with ease but some of the players are going to have to step up and fell confident about taking the shot. Hassells are by far not all the talent on this team. Prior this game I would simply tell these girls to play their game shoot if and when they can and be confident that this is game one more to come.

Wow! Haven seen Jessica play she is one of the fastest points in the this part of the state as far as I am concerned. An asset to the team for sure, Now are we sure she is out for the season is this her senior year? Hopefully her injury will have a speedy recovery, could that be possible. However good luck in the Sub State

You can say that again... JC is a large asset to this team. Something this yr is not right with this team this year something is missing. I have been to a handful of their games, never have I seen but 6 maybe 7 players play. The benchwarmers are all sitting there with long faces screaming out "I did make this team, I was good enough to make the team, I go to practice, I give alot of effort what's it going to take to play. It only makes sense to coach all your players so that when the time comes they can step up. Not to say that someone won't step up in her place but how well can one succeed if never given a chance ( so much will be expected from whoever fills her shoes tonight). I bet a lot of those girls on the bench deserved a chance all year now in the most important part of the season the lack of experience is what will probably get them tonight. I wish them luck but smyrna seems to have given their bench a chance thru out the season and it will likely show tonight. But who knows we will have to wait and see. Bless you JC for an awesome season, you will be missed in this one and one....Lots of luck with your injury.

Nicely put and you are exactly right it takes a lot to do what these girls stood by and done. Lebanon should be totally proud of the team as a whole. Going to different games this season seeing teams with benchwarmers is what could be what breaks a program down. Think if a girl trys out for the team and makes it why would she be there if it wasn't to play(if they are good enough to make the team they should be good enough to play no brainer!). It is the kind of coach that chooses a team and coaches the entire team is the one that will likely end up on top. If I had gamble I would predict more to come from the Lebanon Blue Devils. They are well on their way to becoming an outstanding program without a doubt. Go Big Blue good luck in Cleveland! Nothing is over because you can never give up never ever give up!!!

WOW HOPE TONIGHT IS FULL OF UPSETS POLLS ON THIS SITE PREDICT A 8.1% CHANCE THAT LEBANON CAN WIN. WELL I UNDERSTAND WHY WITH THE RECORD THAT SHELBYVILLE IS ALWAYS ABLE TO PULL OFF. GOT A GREAT PROGRAM BUT COACH BROWN IS WELL ON HIS WAY TO MAKING THE LEBANON BLUE DEVIL PROGRAM WHAT IT HAS BEEN AND WILL, CAN BE. EXACTLY WHAT SOMEONE SAID IN A PAST READ ABOUT THE SUPPORT OF THE COMMUNITY COACH BROWN HAS THAT AT LEBANON HIGH AND WITH HIS NEW SCHOOL JUST AROUND THE CORNER A DESERVING THOUGHT WOULD BE GIVE IT THE NAME OF A NEW ERA OUT WITH THE OLD BRANDON AND ON WITH THE NEW BROWN....LET THERE BE LIGHT AGAIN ON THE THE LEBANON BLUE DEVILS. BLESS YOU GIRLS YOU ALL PLAY AS A TEAM AND MAKE THE GAME PROUD TO HAVE ALL OF YOU IN IT. GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, KEEP THE FAITH AND NEVER GIVE UP NEVER EVER GIVE UP, THE BEST IS YET TO COME....

As I read thru the results of the games in the different regions I am more drawn to what I read about Lebanon. From what I know two years ago they could not fill the bench. The team has found themselves in a place that hasn't been too familiar. You know the same circle of schools can be the powerhouse year after year but what makes it a better story is when you take a program is when a team can rise above it, done the unexpected. Coach Brown what you and your staff have brought to this program is hope for the future. It kindly reminds me of an old man from that school words "Never give up Never ever Give up" That is exactly what has happen and as they set forth to Wednesday I hope they keep that in their minds as they battle against Shelbyville. Good luck Lady Devils.

I realize that Lebanon is in the 7th and not the 9th but lets all give a big applaud to the Lebanon Blue Devils I believe it has been well over 15 years since a district was won. Way to go Lebanon Blue Devils! As I read about the different wins and defeats among the many districts last night I am very thankful that the Lebanon Devils had an opportunity to feel the magic of winning. After seeing where the Blue Devil program was 3,4,5 years ago and to change hands in coaching and within 2 years win the district that takes alot of determination, work & a lot of heart. Without making any direct accusations some of the school have had the star power delivered on a golden spoon but with this team it has been all about doing the best you can with what you got and making the best of it! That is what Coach Brown & his Team has done. He gave these girls just exactly what they needed to believe it & have faith that it could be done. When a coach truly believes in his players and instills that into his players you have every possiblity of magic to occur. As for this Team and I say team without any "I's" in it they demonostrate team effort, spirit & determination. Nothing they did was about one player Fans are proud of their strong effort keep it up and good luck in the regions.
