Small towns with great BBall teams

[coachh17]

Unaka and Hampton are two other Carter County communities worth mentioning, along with already discussed Cloudland. Unaka is a series of small rural communities along the banks of Stoney Creek in the shadow of Holston Mountain. The boys won a state title two years ago and the girls are always tough. Hampton lies in the Doe River Valley just below Watauga Lake. The Lady Dogs also have a rich tradition. Not bad for three little isolated communities in the beautiful mountains of East Tennessee.

We'll go back a ways here:

 

The Bethesda Dragons & College Grove Rockets!

 

I remember when there used to be a Bethesda High School, but they tore most of it down except for the gym, lunch room, and library. You are going a ways back there, FlatCreekJim.

If your gonna mention small schools, you have to metion Bradford. They are the smallest school district in the state. THey have about 170 kids 9-12. Have won 6 state titles and 2 runner-ups.

GLEASON...check the records, year in and year out just a GREAT program.

Gainsboro is no metroplois and neither is Clarkrange but every year they seem to be contenders for the gold. Gleason has Kayla this year and next and they are very little. Byrdstown has a tradition for being good. Copper Basin barely exists and they are good this year. RBS always is tough to beat at home. If you've never been there it is barely a town itself.

I mentioned them myself. We almost moved up there 2 years ago. The people were really nice, except when you play against them in basketball, then they become 'THE LYNCHMOB'. We were told while up there interviewing for a job up there that when basketball is going on, the school shuts down and goes to support the team. I believe it. It must be the lemonaide.

if you think the fans are bad during basketball, you should see them in football season. ten times worse i promise you! not as much lately cuz the football team is not so good but give them a good season and the fans feel like football gods. its not so great.

 

and yes the school often shuts down if the teams go to the big games. but the town is a very friendly and beautiful town
