You don't have to tell me about Buckner. I have played him. He is huge, quick, and will send your shot into the top row. He is quite good at dunking on, over, and through people as well. He dunked on me and jumped over a 6 foot tall guard on our team last year and didn't even touch him. Idk if he is the best in the state, but he is certainly the best i have seen and played.

For those of us in NW Tennessee that don't venture into Memphis to watch basketball games all that often there is an opportunity to catch this kid in action...The Manassas Tigers will play Hopkinsville, KY. in the First Bank Shootout at The Eagles Nest on the campus of Graves County High School...It's an easy place to get to...It's right off the Purchase Parkway, you can see it from the road....It's about 35 minutes north of Union City....Huge gym, plenty of parking....

 

The game is Friday Dec.12th @ 7:00 p.m.

 

Briarcrest will play @ 8:30 p.m. the same night against Daviess County, KY....

 

Wish I could make it but I have a prior engagement in Troy that night.... /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

Take it from someone who knows a little about the Graves gym and school: Purple's right. Get there if you can. Stay for the whole event in fact. Two days of pretty good basketball, but certainly get there to watch Manassas. And, come down and say "Hi!" to me. I'll be the big, tall guy with the camera.

Is the Graves County Gym as impressive as the one at Marshall County?

Graves people will tell you flat out, YES!!....Marshall people will tell you, well the Eagles Nest has never been featured as one of the premier places to watch high school basketball in the United States by the USA Today....

Both gyms are about the same size..The Eagles Nest is a few years newer..It wouldn't surprise me if the Eagles Nest is a little bit larger just because Graves wanted something bigger than Marshall..They are bitter rivals..Both schools have an enrollment of up around 1700 kids...I've heard the Eagles Nest referred to as "The Taj Mahal" by people up there..

 

I work in Mayfield, KY and have co-workers that are supporters of both schools AND Mayfield so I hear how great everything is up in Kentucky ALL THE TIME....

 

The Eagles Nest has a big "jumbo-tron" that they tried to use to show replays and such but the KHSSA shut that down saying that wasn't a real good thing for the refs....

Legend,

 

what does the rest of manassas look like?

everyone knows about Buckner but whats the rest of the starting roster?

and their class?

 

 

 

There's a little about them on page 1 of this post..I saw that Manassas beat Carver ,I believe by 1 point..Melrose had beaten that same Carver team by 15 points or a little more...Going to be a tough job for a Single A team to maybe beat Manassas..but Humboldt does have the size to match up with them from what I saw on their roser..!

    • Shopping? His family is loaded and he's 6'6 I'm pretty sure he could start anywhere in upper East TN,So no need to shop. Word is Witten got caught trying to work him out on campus and some 7 on 7 while playing athletics for Sullivan East. Word got around pretty quick and Someone turned them into TSSAA.
    • Quick update on Jacob -  Jacob celebrated his 16th birthday at Vanderbilt on Tuesday and has been in decent spirits.  His sense of humor has begun to show as he was visited by many friends.  He is swallowing a lot better now and has eaten some of his favorites (Chik-Fil-A and Five Guys).   He is getting prepared to head to Atlanta to the Shepherd Center first thing tomorrow morning.  His family has been waiting on insurance approval. In case you dont know the Shepherd Center it a world class facility and supposedly one of the best in the country for spinal injury rehab.  Praying for perfect results there. Considering the circumstances, Jacob is in decent spirits.  He has some reflexive movement in his legs which I think is probably a very positive sign.  Don't read too much into that just yet as there is no telling what the real prognosis is... just hopeful that is good thing.  I am really just happy that it seems like he has a punchers chance of getting something back.  He is a strong young man and very determined so I think he will fight as hard as he can in physical therapy while down in Atlanta. More than one of you has asked me about an address to send donations.  I know GoFundMe isn't for everyone.  If you want to go that route, you can make a check to "Blackman Wrestling Club" and we will pass anything received directly to the Kinderdines.   Jacob Kinderdine c/o Blackman Wrestling 4836 Trevino Court Murfreesboro, TN  37128 Also, want to thank everyone who has donated so far.  Jacobs dad will take a month off work and stay in Atlanta with him.  They need to learn how to take care of him and do home therapy work..... and surely Jacob will be glad his dad can be there.  All that could not happen without you all.  Depending on what happens, they will probably end up doing some home remodeling in order to accommodate Jacob at their home.  Thanks again. Here's a pic I lifted from Facebook of Jacob on Oxy talking to his Uncle.  LOL
