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.

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.

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.

    • Agreed, Marion is good. Big gap between them and everyone else in the east.
    • Okay my mistake on Tyner, take is still the same on Marion county being the favorite 
    • Thanks for the effort to spark some discussion but the 3A board is dead as a door nail. We've picked up a home school kid or three but no big name transfers for us. I expected us to be a transfer magnet and couldn't have been more wrong. This doesn't have the makings of a memorable season on the field or the message boards for my Rockets and I'm usually optimistic in July. 
    • Tyner is 3A. MASE might be the 4th best team in the west.
    • 1A favorite has to be Greenfield. They bring back their best two players.  The rest of West TN 1A is down. Humboldt, Middleton, Memphis Middle College may be the next best teams. Middle TN 1A will be interesting - a lot of good teams. Only two of McEwen, Wayne Co, Richland, Moore Co, Eagleville will make the state tournament. McEwen has probably the best player in 1A (though you could make an argument for Shields at Unaka).  Wayne Co is down a little but still competitive. Richland is really good.  Pickett and Van Buren will be really good. Clarkrange could upset one of them. Way east looks like North Greene and Unaka with Cloudland definitely capable of knocking one of them off
