Stone Memorial AA (mystery from the middle)

Stone is smaller than Seymour and will probably stay AA for a few more years. The Stone Seymour game was very exciting to watch. Both teams seemed to be very even and would most likely split 5 @ 5 if they played 10 times. I'm sure both teams felt like there was something they could improve on. Good luck to the Lady Panthers at the Boro.

1 Stone plays defense on the perimeter very well. They are quick throughout the line-up, inside and out.

 

2 The first lady that comes open has no hesitation in taking the shot, wherever they stand.

 

3 They take care of the ball as well. Not very turnover prone.

 

4 Free throws.........they take advantage of the free stuff.

 

5 They spread the floor offensively and go to the hole.

 

6 Did I say QUICK? They played a SMART game at Elizabethton. Hats off to them. They earned it and the girls are well coached.

 

***Whoever gets matched with them will get all they want, win or lose.

 

Good luck Stone...... /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

QUOTE(mazy @ Mar 5 2007 - 09:34 AM) 826400339[/snapback]Stone should be AAA next year. TSSAA let them come in as the biggest AA school on a prediction which was 920. They are bigger than 920. This is the second year of reclassification. If they have 20% over 920 they will move up that is what the TSSAA site says anyway. They are doing well in AA because they are much bigger than the schools they are playing against.

 

 

 

I agree, it will be close to a 20% increase next year, which would warrant a move up. They are at about 950 without a full Senior class. When it is all said and done ( 2-3 years), IMO both CCHS and SMHS will be pretty equal around the 1200 range... IMO for Cumberland County to consistently compete at the level Stone has achieved this year. It would take a 3rd High School. Cumberland's population is getting close to being comparable to that of the likes of Putnam and Bradley counties, both of which have three High schools.

Congratulations to the Lady Panthers for their state tournament berth. I hope they bring back the GOLD Ball to the plateau!

 

The cut-off for AA is 996. Stone will be over that next year and could fall under the 20% rule for the 08-09 school year. They will be AA next year. It's amazing the difference a drop in classification can make. These same girls have lost in the sectionals the past three years. They must be thrilled to not have to play Cleveland, Bradley, and Shelbyville to get to the state.

Why would they not move up next year if they are over the 20% and over 996? They will be both. TSSAA sets the rules how can they not be enforced. They are moving Liberty Tech Magnet up next year and they have 1007 students. Stone will be way over that and everybody knows it. I still believe TSSAA will do what is right. There is no way they will let Stone play AA with over 1100 students.

Stone has less than the 996 number of students, where did the 1100 figure come from? they will be AA next year because that is where they should be!! The number will be checked next year and if they go over the 1,000 mark they will be moved up for 2009. /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />

Not sure about the 1100 number, but earlier in the year, I was told by someone within the schools administration that they had 1006 students. The 996 number was the number of students that preregistered or something. I think the 1006 number was the total after new students and transfers were included.

 

Anyway, best of luck to the lady panthers tomorrow night!! Wouild love to see them advance.

Actually it was 960 after all of the transfers etc. Once again, please lets don't lose focus or try to erase the accomplishments of this team by implying they deliberately moved to a smaller school to be more competitive. The students certainly had no say so where they went with the exceptions of the seniors zoned for SMHS ( they could have chosen to stay at CCHS.)

Good luck Lady Panthers we are with you all the way!!!!

    • 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.
