We all knew it would happen...The random draw pits A's strongest two schools from the west against each other right off the bat...Looking at the bracket, Temple has a CAKEWALK to the final....Humboldt, Manassas, and Grace Baptist are all on one side along with Grace Christian while Temple, Cloudland, Clarksville Acad., and Summertown are on the other side...

 

Judging by the way things went today, it's time to get rid of the random draw...Seeding seems like the logical thing to do...The weaker teams from weaker regions don't deserve to coast into the championship game...Then you take the only two schools from West Tn in it and make them play each other in the 1st game?? It just doesn't make sense...

 

 

 

Well, nothing can be done so if the TSSAA wants the state championhip game to take place in the 1st round, then so be it...Let's get the predictions started...

 

I'll take my Vikings in a close one 73-69 even though I would have much rather seen this game on Friday or Saturday..

So putting the top 3 teams in A on one side of the bracket is "fair"??Temple sleepwalking into the finals is "fair"??

 

Seeding based on performance would be "fair"...Make teams earn their placement in the tourney...It really just makes the most sense..

 

Even if Humboldt was in Temple's position, I'd still have a big problem with it...Manassas and Grace are getting a raw deal here too...

The blind draw is fair...having the "best" 2 teams on the same side of the bracket us unlucky.

 

And i don't believe Temple is assuming a cakewalk right now.

/popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" /> It's game time boys!!! The draw of course didn't work out how everyone wanted it...or did it? We have all been wanting to see who the better team is! Instead of playing eachother for a gold/silver ball, we are playing eachother for the next round which makes this game even more intense! I love it! I'm going to take my Vikings in a low scoring matchup...

 

Humboldt 54

Manassas 50

      So much talk about an investigation about student record manipulation and then everything has went silent. Has anyone heard how the investigation is going?

      Basically what you're saying is schools can basically bully students around and get away with it because they are protected. I agree to a certain extent but when schools decisions to keep knuckleheads on staff starts costing kids careers and a college education there is a problem. Our school system last week had a teacher supposedly push a kid and the parents went to the law and the teacher is suspended. So I wouldn't say that they can just do what they want without liability. This case don't pass the smell test because the coach had already been fired before and she got fired after a year on the job. Sounds like the student was right in this case on the outside looking in because the coach gets fired after one year. How many coaches get fired after one year?? Not many.

      Problem with DB football goes beyond coaching. Like Waco said. Thr band is the main focus of their community and school. They have the resources to be a championship level team. Guarantee Ballard or Witten could have them nationally relevant at some point but everyone down to peewee would have to buy in and at DB we all know that would never happen.
