7-AAA 2008-2009

They're doubted because they never come across as spectacular, just play hard, with sound defense, and good teamwork. Is it boring sometimes? Yes, but it produces results as evidenced by their 541 wins in Coach King's 23 seasons

 

Randy King is by far the best coach in 7AAA men's basketball. He has been doing it along time and will always get the best out of his team! Congratulations Coach King!

Congrats to Oakland on their huge victory last night. It is always nice when Siegel gets knocked back to reality. The regional tourney is going to be great this year.

 

 

I'm trying to figure out if Siegel was like undefeated or something?? No they weren't. Oakland fans on here are going crazy because they've won 1 game...... May i ask what the district standings are???? The same as they were before the game, and thats all that matters.

no one is crazy at all. Siegel folks wana run that mouth sayin its impossible for Oakland to win a 10 pt game.

I really feel like Oakland is good enough to make state if there D stays like this

Oakland didn't even need Brandon to win this one.

Siegel ALWAYS trying tp pull some stuff gosh!

 

There is acouple Siegel posters who arn't bad at all tho.

Its Oakland-Siegel, it is always going to be a big deal. Were more or less using Siegel's own words against them. Must have meant a pretty good bit since every Siegel poster has done their best vanishing act.........

Siegel may still be in first, but actually the standings tightened up dramatically with the Oakland win. Cookeville and Oakland are both 8-2 and only one game out of first place.

Siegel has an easy road ahead of them though... Shouldn't lose again.

And before the Oakland game Friday they SHOULDN'T have lost. That's why ya play them.

 

The win was big for Oakland because it tied them up with Cookeville for 2nd. Thats big for seeding in the tourney.

And maybe Siegel doesnt lose again. However, that win for Oakland is huge just for the mere fact that should Oakland have to cross paths with the Stars again, they KNOW that they can beat them, and not just hope for a good game. It will be interesting to see if anybody tries to replicate Oakland's gameplan in the future, namely Lebanon. It was Lebanon in 06-07 that gave Oakland the outright title after they beat the Stars in the last district game of the regular season. I am not saying it will happen, but crazier things HAVE happened in this district...............

While it's tough to lose a big rivalry game like Oakland/Siegel, the stars probably needed that loss to prepare them for a post season run. They needed somebody to take them down a notch or two and show them they can be beat and where their weaknesses are. Congrats to Oakland on a solid game, they deserved to win that game. Oakland may not have the depth of talent that Siegel has, but they've got a great group of leaders in that senior class. Great bunch of kids that make Coach King's job a lot easier. Keep your head up Siegel and stay focused on your goals! Go stars!!

I haven't posted on here in a long time. Sometimes I get so frustrated I don't want to say the wrong thing or write something that someone else twists around. Stop grouping all posters from the various schools together. The one or two arrogant Siegel posters don't represent the school. They give Siegel a bad rap. Not just Siegel, but there are posters from the other schools that aren't helping their school's cause either. I think all posters from all schools are very passionate about their school and team, as it should be. We forget that alot of the postings are opinions and thats ok. Not everyone is going to agree. All schools are going to complain about refs at one point or another. And yes I have seen some bad officiating this year. And I was watching some other teams in tournament play so I'm not talking about just Siegel or 7aaa.

I give props to Oakland on their win. Siegel was so off their game that night because Oakland took them out of their "run and gun" game. Siegel can learn a good lesson from the loss on how to improve thier game and make it more dimensional. If not, take note EVERYONE from here on out will slow down and play a half court offense.

One more thing and I'll stop. Why do people keep thinking kids are recruited and not in the correct zone? Who would be that stupid to risk forfeiting an entire season if they are caught. I know for a fact that everyone on Siegel's team is living in the zone legally. In my job, I have access to these sort of records. Now I also know there are loopholes to be found too. And all schools know about them too. When my family moved back to the Boro 7 years ago, we looked at homes in specific school zones. Who doesn't? When I ask what the policy for zoning was for those employed at Rutherford County schools, I was told if the parent or legal guardian was a full time employee of that school their child could go there. Not a part time caferteria worker or MDA. How about a vice prinicipal at another RC school where their child was allowed to pick what school they wanted to go to. Example - parent employed at Laverge, kid goes to Oakland, zoned for Siegel. Now how about a caferteria worker, full time at one school, lives in another school's zone and their child was denied a zone exemption to the school that the parent work full time at. Why the difference you asked? Makes you wonder. Me too. But it happened to my family. Recruiting? maybe... But, everything still worked out for the good. Hope everyone's remaining season is safe and injury free!
