I don't want to underestimate anybody here, but I just have not seen the strength in the other district yet. LA by 10.

Great!!!

There is a first time for everything.

Again, another useless post with absolutely 0 truth in it. Please just stop, your making yourself look bad.

This is not the first incident York has ever had.

For your information, York is fighting the penalty the same way Pickett is. I am the second person that has tried to tell you this and you still refuse to listen. Stop posting information that you have no clue if its correct or not. If you can't come up with a knowledgeable post, DON'T POST ANYTHING. And for the last time, I agree punishment should be handed out, but not for the kids that done nothing.

Let's hope the TSSAA don't let it come down to this.

Are you kidding me? Your conflicting yourself... Your saying the boys got what they deserved, but all they done was sit there on the bench. And you say that supervision over the kids is to blame for this, so why don't you have some supervision over yourself here and act like an adult instead of a kid trying to stir up trouble.

I hate that the young men from these teams are having to take this punishment, especially the seniors. I don't believe I have ever heard of a punishment of this severity handed down by the TSSAA, and I think they are punishing the wrong people here. They ones involved should have been punished and leave it at that.

I am not from pickett co., but I know enough of the kids on that team to know that they did not deserve this. Put yourself in the place of the seniors on this team, as well as York. They have worked their butts off just to get to this point of their basketball careers, and now its over before they get their chance to shine. Now, as for you, the next time you get the notion to get on here and write up another post like this one, do everyone a favor and keep it to yourself. No one wants to hear you sound off about these kids and their fans.

Don't quote me on this, but I believe it will count as a forfeit.

That is correct. . .Seems to be a pretty stiff penalty for both teams.

I hate to hear that, especially considering that the Pickett County boys didn't have anything to do with the events that occurred that night. I hate it for the seniors of both teams that won't get a chance at this years tournament. TSSAA needs to think about what they are doing here. I hope the appeal goes well.

There is a rumor going around that Pickett County has been suspended from post season play this year and next year due to the events that occurred last week. Does anyone know if this has any truth to it at all? I hope its not true.

Let's not forget that was the night that the officials showed up and hour and a half late. Someone said that happened again at Macon County last night? Something sounds a bit odd about this. . . . . I find it sorta odd that officials show up late every time Macon County has a big home game. . . .

This sounds very familiar. . . . .

"When a player gets too old to play, they coach. If you are too dumb to coach, you ref." I know some officials that do a very good job, and this saying does not apply to them. However, it does apply to most.

We are the ones with no class? Ummm ok. Let me just end this discussion by saying that ignorance is going to ruin this world one of these days. I have said I know twice that CPA is the best team in the state, and the best team won. And that I have the utmost respest for the players....You, not so much. Congrats to CPA for another great year, looks like you guys have another good team coming back next year.

I do believe I said I dont know if it would have made a difference in the ball game or not. But explain to me how a very talented and aggresive Lyndsey never had the first foul called on him? Don't get me wrong, CPA is the team to beat in the state hands down, and I commend them for that. I believe discountcity said it best, CPA has the best team money can buy.

Ok, what just so happens to be in those arms? THE BASKETBALL! And the last time I looked, if your going for the ball ( not in malitious fasion ) its not an intentional foul. I believe all the officials was trying to say with those intentional fouls is " Don't hurt the superstar! ". And the way I seen it, it was a 5'6" 160 lb Bubba Jolley reaching into a 6'6" 225lb Jaylin Lyndsey. So I believe the phrase "pulled down" is a bit of a stretch there DAD1.

Congrats to LA on yet another good run this season. I know coming home with a gold ball would have been a lot better, and I hate to see this group of seniors leave without it. We was going to have to go through CPA to get that gold ball sooner or later. They are by far the best team down there, and Lyndsey lived up to the hype. The only thing that bothered me was the fact that they never called the first foul on Lyndsey! I know he is the pride of the state, and that there was a lot of college scouts there to watch him, but don't let him run wild. We got intentional fouls called on our boys for nothing, and Lyndsey wore Ramsey and Eldridge out down low and never got the first foul called on him. It might not have made a difference in the game, but you never know. The officials was not going to do anything that would result in him being taken off the floor.

Congrats to LA on another good season. Bad time of the year to go through a cold spell shooting. Hard to beat a good team like CPA shooting 28% from the field. But, it is what it is. CPA has another good chance to win this year, but I guess I'm pulling for Macon County now.

I don't know about easy, there are no easy games at this point in the year.

I agree. They called the game way to tight. It seemed like there was a foul called on every trip down the flour, and it was like that on both ends. But its the calls, or lack there of, that should be very easy to make that they completely blew, out of just pure ignorance. If the ball goes OB, atleast have the gumption to blow the whistle and make some kind of call, whether it be right or wrong. Thats just common sense. I did not get to see any of the girls tournament, but if that is the best refs that the state of TN can find, we are really hurting.

SM is as good a shooting team as anybody in the tournament. Key matchup to me is who is going to quard Lindsey of CPA, and who quards Cole of SM. They are both virtually impossible to shut down completely. This will be a heck of a game.
