bballtn, you are welcome but you must have me confused with somebody else, I only had one daughter that played ball and she is in college now. We have been on opposite sides in the past though. I was pulling for OS though. Us East TN people have to stick together.

And what a great player / person she is. Hope all is going well!

 

The truth about west , middle and east tn basketball is that it is nearly all the same. When these teams get together during the summer at Shelbyville team camp for example.... you could toss them all in a hat and mix them up and nobody would ever be able to tell a difference. Good players are good players and their zip code has nothing to do with it. For those of us that really love basketball we love the challenge of stepping up and competing. Sometimes your the bug and sometimes your the windshield but the fun is in the experience.

I agree. The talent is pretty well balanced across the state. I just hate they everyone didn't get to see the real lady bobcats last night. But it's tournament time and stuff like that happens. Congrats to the OS on a great season. I was really proud of how you all did, especially compared to what many people expected. No doubt in my mind I will be making another trip to Murfeesboro next year to watch the Lady cats finish what they started.

OS had one more steal and one less turnover. Plus they had 11 more shots than Madison. On most nights that gives you a chance at a victory, but 20.9 percent speaks for itself.

As far as which area is the best, I do think that in Class A the balance of power lies in Middle and West Tennessee. Oliver Springs can play with and beat any Class A team on any night, but as a whole Class A is down right now in East Tennessee.

Class AA and Class AAA is currently more balanced.

Thanks. She is very happy and her and the coach get along very well. We are very excited for her to be there and very anxious for her to play, it has been a while.

 

If you talking about the girl I think you are, she was a Miss Basketball finalist the same year my sister was. Where is she playing now?

Probably so. She went to Carson Newman her freshman year where she was SAC Freshman of the year and Co-Player of the year. She had a great year and the team had a great year but she was not happy. She has now transferred to Western Carolina to play for Kelly Jolly Harper. Loves it there and is very anxious to get back out on the floor. Where is your sister?

Just finished her sophmore year at Tennessee Tech, won the regular seson title, but lost in the finals of the tournament. NIT probably this year, Kelly Harper recruited my sister when she was at Chattanooga, nice lady.

Yea, she recruited my daughter while at UTC also, if we hadn't already signed with CN when she moved to Western, we probably would have ended up at Western from day one. Nice to hear where these girls all end up, I have got to see some of them play this year, saw Laura Hall when UTC and Western went into overtime. That class of 2004 still has to be one of the best classes ever all across the state. You see so many of them playing on tv. Good luck to your sister at TTU. I almost went there myself but boy was that a long time ago. :thumb:

My sister came within a hair of going to UTC also, I'm glad she chose Tech though, because its about 7 minutes from our house and I can go to all the home games. :thumb:

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
