best home court advantage in east tn

[redandblack63]

I would say Clinton but they arent very good. So im going with Farragut because we dont lose.

 

 

Homecourt wasn't very helpful on Friday as Bearden gave the Admirials a beat down.

Sweetwater is winning at home by an avg of 30.4 pts/game.

What about the "Marsh Pit" of Alcoa.... my four years of high school, only one student section stood a chance, and that was when we went to Sullivan South for a Sub-State game... other than that, i dont care how many kids are in a student section, i have never seen anybody more hype than the "Marsh Pit"

Some teams/programs just seem to take defending their home court a little more personal than most others. Whether anyone shows up to cheer them on is inconsequential. Of course, those teams typically do well no matter where they play. But consistently superior effort and performance produce superior results which equate to a difficult environment for a visiting team. Among many schools I could cite as an example of this, Fulton is the first that comes to mind.

 

As for places where the crowd regularly creates a special atmosphere that can give the home team a boost, I'd submit the following:

Cosby in A

McMinn Central in AA

Bearden in AAA

 

Though outside East TN, another place that deserves special mention is Jackson Co.

With the exception of last year (don't know why but we were uncharacteristically vulnerable at home) the Patriots when playing on East Third Street are pretty formidable! We had not lost to a single a team in years (Grace was the only team the previous year, we beat Temple and everyone else.). We have only lost to three single a teams ever at East Third and each of those teams only did it once (City, Grace x 2, and Temple). When it gets rockin' it is a tough place and we have great fans!

Where were the students from Alcoa at the Alcoa vs. Carter game Tuesday? Was there another school function that took the kids away from the game? Carter only had about ten there because of other school events and was just wondering if it was the same case at Alcoa.

I would say Catholic. I've been to some of their games over the past few years and they are very good. They rarely loose there, and the student section is one of the best I've heard. As far as Clinton goes it is hard to play there because every time you play them at home you are playing 5 on 8. The officiating there is obvious that they are calling against the visiting team.

It doesn't help that Clinton turns the AC up to freaking 200 degrees when you play them either. Clinton has a decent student section, but they still manage to lose a lot to easy teams at home.

exactly.... the marshpit came into effect in the freshman year of the 07 class, consisting of freshman and sophmores..... with the graduation of '06 and '07, the Marsh Pit will never again be at full tilt... im sure the Maryville game and the W.B. game will offer a little different story than the carter game, simply because they are blount co. games.
