What do you think will happen with DeKalb's new coach?

[The Truth]

Great win for the Lady Tigers tonight, especially without Woodward. It was good to see the other girls step up and take care of business on the road. Huge game tuesday night @ home versus Warren Co. Great start to the season, keep up the hard work ladies.

DeKalb County fans, breathe easy, as you WILL pick up that district win this year. If you do not beat Smith County, you will go 100+ more games. Good luck, except against the Lady Cats.

Good job tonight winning against Warren Co. for the girls. It was an exciting game. Double over time but came away with the 63-59 win. They're 3-0 now they have improved so much. Keep it up Coach Cope.

Great start for the Smithville girls. The second win over Warren co. since Jan.02.

[The Truth]

3-0 for the Lady Tigers, this team is playing with lots of confidence and the girls are enjoying the game again. Good luck this weekend @ Cannon Co., great crowd last night @ the warren Co. game, it was a great atmosphere for high school basketball. Coach Cope has the girls and the community believing, keep up the good work coach.

[superfan08]

It was an awesome crowd last night for sure. I don't think anyone there last night didn't get there money's worth. Double overtime and to finish it off with a big shot being hit to seal the win. It is great to finally have a good reason for the community to get behind this team. Keep it up Coach Cope! It appears it was a great hire made as far as fit was concerned for this team. Maybe we can forget about some of the other "not so good" hires now and just move forward. It is the first time this team has started 3-0 in a loooooong time.

[The Truth]

Lady Tigers versus Bledsoe @ 1:30 today @ Cannon Co. tourney. Good luck Lady Tigers, 4-0 would be an unbelieveable start, keep up the good work.

[The Truth]

Does anyone know if Woodward is back today, i know she did not play last week versus Bledsoe.

Dekalb County Lady Tigers 4-0, when was the last time that was true. Great job ladies, we are proud of the way you represent our community both on and off the court. This never give up attitude is contagious and very fun to watch. Coach Cope, keep those wins coming, we are proud of you also.

Hickman County beat Dekalb by 24 at the Cannon County Thanksgiving Tourney on Saturday ...... The Lady Dawgs dropped in 13 threes enroute to handing Dekalb their first loss of the season ..... Hickman County looked pretty strong and surely will get stronger as the season moves along.

[The Truth]

Dekalb Co. held monterey to just 5 points the first half tonight, great job ladies. 5-1 is something to be proud of, good luck friday night as you head to Gordonsville.
