Anybody know whos gonna be with him?

Im srry, ur right. I got confused. The Director cut his AD position.

Well TN High got a good coach in Payne, along with his son, J-Rod. This makes the 3rd coach Eliz will have to hire for next year. When was the last time a HS had to hire a football, BkB, and BB coach. For 'Clone fans you can pt fingers at the city school board for forcing Payne out of the AD job. Plus TN High has a talented group of freshmen coming in. What is your outtake on this single7? As starman will put in 2mar's paper: Eliz threw back a nice trout that TN High realed in.

Who is the transfer from Eliz tha is cumin to the Hill?

Ive heard tha this past year's freshman QB (I wanna say Price) is transferring to Unaka.

Where did Price play his HS ball @? And what about any of South Doyle's pitchers? And does Bartlett have anybody going anywhere? With Delmonico gone @ UT, wut is Tony going to do for the rest of his college career? And wut about lil Joey @ Farragut?

With the draft cumin up this week. Does anybody from high school or any college player that played his HS ball in TN have a shot at getting drafted?

So Ill take it that he will be with the team.

Very bad, poorly officiated ballgame. Both teams got benefited of the bad calls, I think Eliz got more though. I know a sub-state game is tough, but all 3 guys had know clue wut to do. It makes the Tri-Cities' Association look good. I just dunno how you can get 3 bad guys for a sub-state. Good luck to Gibbs for the win. Both Gibbs and Eliz are 2 great AA programs.

Could some1 tell me if Chris Donald plays baseball for Huntington or isn't he the manager? I swear I thought I saw him last year @ Riverdale. Cant remember.

Im givin him strike to a certain extent.

The game is practically over, if it aint Im gonna shrink it. We are told by our supervisors to do this.

Young pitchers who struggle need strikes, im not gonna call 1 in the dirt or his eyes. Im just gonna adjust the zone by an inch or 2. All umps do tha in Jr High, at least most of them. With a big lead late in the game, coaches tell their kids to swing away.

Is this Sayler or Heiser? Or could this be French? jw

This wasnt HS, it was Jr High. This took place in the 5th inning, and most coaches tell their kids to swing away in blowout leads. If the game gets closer, I just simply adjust the strike zone. Regardless, pitchers who struggle that bad need strikes. I wont do this on any HS level, but anything lower I will.

This is my 3rd yr of umpirin(1st in TSSAA) and I really love it. I finally realized that its not easy. By definition, the strike zone is the same from Little League all they way up to the Majors. I had a tight one in Little League. But I finally realized tha these pitchers dont need to be walkin everybody. The strike zone should expand from little league to jr high, coaches dont like a tight one. TSSAA supervisors tell you that coaches want umps calling strikes. Now college, minor, and major league strike zone is the exact same, because the umps are getting graded and noticed, and get to call at a higher level. My strike zone is, if I could hit it its a strike to certain extent. I miss ones all the time. The field ump told me one time to widen my strike zone when Team B is pitching, cuz of the score. I said "Ok, is it bad?" he said "its great, but their pitcher is wild, and he needs to learn, so expand it." I told him i said "well I missed that one pitch." He said "its ok, the only person that was perfect was jesus christ." Remember coaches, fans, and players. Especially coaches and players You guys make mistakes all the time, and have the worst game ever. The same goes to the men in authority, they have bad games. Just tough luck, you have to deal with it.

If you wanna go real far, hey Deke, how many state titles did your boys win in Babe Ruth? And who coached them?

So I assume that Wilson has already resigned?

Is he leavin SH, or just not coaching them. Aka, will he look for another job if he resigns?

I thought that the original choice was J.R.'s brother Tim, Daniel Boone's Girls Coach. If Leon doesnt take it, it will be tough to find a coach. Especially if Ned goes to Eliz. I dint see Ned goin to Hampton regardless. What's up next for McClain? There's already a few openings.

So is Ned or Carp goin to Eliz? Wut happened to Len Dugger? It was on here that he is for sure the next head coach.

I dunnot bout u Waco, but this yr's Memphis team, aint the real Memphis teams Im used to seeing every March. Know more White Stations, Raleigh Egypts, Hamiltons, Ridgeways, etc. Memphis was down this year. And Maryville took advantage of it. If DB beats SH in the Reg, then I believe they would have beaten the Rebs in substate. P.S. the day the Morgan resigns, I want you to go to Kingsport City School System and apply for the head job. It would be so bad, that it would go from the Big 9 to the Big 8. Its hard to find a coach like Morgan.

That will be a good rivalry between South, Central, and East. Carter and both Nelsons all were great friends @ South in their playing days. There is not many years between the 3 of them.
