i'd just about bet the farm that region 5 does not sweep state. it just won't happen.

who is your favorite to break up the sweep? i agree that the sweep probably won't happen just becuase the odds of all three teams having great races on the same day is not that good but i think that they are the top 3 a/aa teams in the state based on steeplechase performances. its pretty much guarenteed that all three will be in the top 5 but the sweep will be very tough

potential sweep breakers:

 

university school - jc

jackson christian school

elizabethton

 

you can't compare every race to steeple chase. if you look at the tn classic results, fra and usjc were extremely close in terms of average time. when you factor in the fact that fra ran in the gold race, i.e., faster runners=faster times for the fra guys, i think usjc is the better team.

hahaha i'll believe it when i see it. the whole faster runners=faster times only applies when slower runners means no one to run with. i dont remember any usjc guys running alone in the slow race or winning by a huge margin or anything. a lot of people actually run slower in the faster races just because it is mentally tougher to run in 100th than it is to run in 30th even if its the same time. nobody likes seeing a pack of 50 guys a full minute ahead of them, at least i don't. i prefer beating people personally

naw FRA was faster. Just in the Large Schools race.

so what are you guys at FRA hiding from us right now?

fra isnt hiding anything. at metro one of their top 4 dropped out or just ran really badly, i didnt feel like scrolling down far enough to find him if he did finish. district where they finished 6 pts behind lipscomb is a good gage of what they can do, however i dont think it will be quite that close at region but fra should still be the clear #2 at state

assuming one of their top 4 doesn't drop out or run really bad...

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
