96 to 86...souds like Oak Hill got some home cooking!!!!! /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

 

This game might be replayed on Wazoo sports......I'm going to check later and tomorrow.....I want to see it.

 

 

The officiating looked to be very good while watching it at home.

 

Speaking of which, why were people wanting score updates when the game was broadcast live on wazoosports.com??? They did a great job with the game and you get to drink a beer while watching. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

 

Tiny was huge.

Very good game. I think Bearden played about as well as they could. I was really disappointed in the way

Oak Hill played. I thought they would be much more fundamentally sound. I thought they played poor defense, ran no offense, and never thought of boxing out. They are basically athletic enough to beat you one on one in isolation. Mo Mo Jones was a tough matchup for the Dawgs. Jenkins couldn't really stay with him and he just physically outmatched the smaller Bearden guards. I thought Dustin Craig had a fantastic game and Parker stepped up. I think that Oak Hill could have really taken advantage of of mismatches especially when "Tiny" had Simpson pulled out of the paint to guard against the 3s. Bearden did a very good of maintaing their cool in a very physical and mouthy situation.

 

Not that it really matters, but I was extremely disappointed in the behavior of the Oak Hill players. Coach Smith never said a word to the players and they were dropping the "F" bomb about every other word. These are high school kids! I was sitting right behind the bench and was very shocked to hear this out of them and the coaches wives were sitting right there too. I anticipated much more class.

What makes you think this? You know Oak Hill is ranked number #1 in the nation and for a TN team to hang with them is a little crazy to say...

 

Also, Bearden will lose games on the 23rd and 27th... So you Bulldogs fans better get ready for that

 

 

 

Another thing will the Oak HIll girls be playing the Bearden girls? IF not, what time will this game start?

 

I guess I was wrong.

Are you kidding me?

Yes, there are high school students so they probably cuss more than any other age group in america.

C'mon its not like these dudes are 11 or 12 yrs old(some start cussing even before that age) they are 16-18 yrs old.

I would be more surprised if they DIDNT cuss.

Having coached this age for over 20 years, I'm well aware of their language. At most times, they are certainly more restrained around their coaches and especially the coaches' wives. But to constantly be yelling F you and F this was way out of line. I've attended probably 1000 games around this area and yes you will hear an occassional cuss word. But, I promise you having watched Bearden, Fulton, AE, et al for years, the coaches would not have tolerated the language the Oak Hill players were spewing!

Well I agree with the other poster.. I mean, you can't just single out Oak Hill's team.. I'm sure Bearden were using some words that wasn't supposed to be said. I mean, when Fair caught that elbow to the jaw, I know he got up and said some words for that cat as well. But hey, who knows....

I can't agree more, IrishBBall. I was disappointed with the display of classlessness by Oak Hill. They are a tremendous group of athletes, but I could not believe the lack of discipline the Oak Hill players displayed. A few years ago, I attended a Mater Dei game in LA (the number one ranked team thie year) and saw a team that was fundementally sound, stacked with great athletes (Duke, NC type of players), ran a great system, respected the opponent they beat by over 30 points, and behaved with real class. This is what I was expecting to see last night. Frankly, I would never pay to see this team again.

 

BTW, Simpson had a great game as well as Craig. Demonte and Dustin both had a lot to deal with inside against the giant inside, and they did a very good job.

Speaking of "classlessness", what about the UT players that stood along the rail in the upper deck blocking the view of people who had waited in their seats for three hours before gametime. I was really disappointed that they obviously thought that they were so special that they did not owe the fans this common courtesy.

Let me start by saying this isn't some prissy catholic school you're talking about. This is Oak Hill Academy. Most of those kids are there because they need to overcome some stuff in order to reach the next level. Some of those things that I am referring to include academic struggles and extremely difficult living environment. Who cares how much these kids cuss? Understanding where some of them come from I think if all they do is cuss they are doing well. It never ceases to amaze me how some people who live a predominantly care free existance point the finger at every little thing someone else does and chastise them for it. By the way, how did you like the final score of the Catholic game Friday night?

Exactly.

I mean you put it perfectly. If you knew the neighborhoods these guy were coming from if all they do is cuss then they are doing GREAT. SOOOO many other bad things they could possibly could be doing if it wasnt for Oak Hill.

Keep making excuses for these kids. That's just what they need. One more person making excuses for them.

    • From the stats I found online it looks like Gabe Eddington- .484, 44 total hits, 43 runs scored and 42 stolen bases.Meanwhile, on the mound, the Austin Peay commit had a record of 8-2, while compiling 50 innings pitched with an ERA of 1.82. Carson Parrott - 7-0 overall as a starting pitcher with a 1.41 ERA, 95 strikeouts and a save in 53 and 1/3 innings pitched. Parrott hit .392 with 3 home runs, 21 RBIs with a .566 OBP and .716 SLG. Jaxon Walker - .454, 53 hits, 38 RBI’s, 9 HRs.   Not saying the other three aren’t deserving but Quillen had better BA than all three and was just as dominate pitching.  Like I said I don’t know how you leave off the 3a Baseball player of the year last year when he put up better numbers.  I know Greeneville’s Coach wasn’t happy about it saying “I don’t give a s*** what anybody else says. That kid is the best player in Tennessee, and everybody else on our team rises to his level“.  I’m sure winning another State Championship as a junior is more important to Carson than the individual award, it’s just a head scratcher to not be nominated
    • What coach in their right mind would want to come here and set theirself on fire to keep her warm.
    • Shoulder not going to the #### show .   Macon will name the score this year.
    • Plenty of time. The former coach was busy with family and disappeared all summer anyway. Obvious choice has the same family issues. First game is in March 2025.
