Lawrence co.,Loretto,Summertown

Good for coach Trotter. Obviously Summertown still carries a chip. At some point somebody has to be the grown up and get over it and fix this problem. Obviously its not gonna be Trotter if what you say is true.

I was bummed about not going to the barn this year. The overalls stay in the closet this year guys. The Loretto fans were way outta hand last year and it wasn't the students. There were grown men wearing Black and Yellow flipping us off. Man im goin to miss it.

I will tell you what happened. LCHS beat Loretto 3 years in a row, and they got upset and did not want to be embarrassed any longer. I don't blame them for being big babies.

Are you taking Lawrence County or Loretto's side?

As I understand it, it is Loretto and Summertown, who have refused to schedule LCHS. That really makes no sense as LCHS is the only program that really has anything to lose. If they lose it is a big deal because they were beaten by a smaller school and if they win, so what, they were supposed to. Loretto and Summertown have no problem scheduling LCHS in volleyball, softball, or baseball where they are competitive, and in some cases, dominating. It is obvious, then, that the reason they refuse to schedule LCHS in basketball is the level of competition.

Very Good Post.

Here is what I know about the situation.

 

1. S'town and LCHS have not played since an incident at S'town several years ago between Coach McBee and Mickey Dunn. Coach McBee called out some LCHS fans for throwing ice on the floor and Mr Dunn decided that he would side with the students / fans that were throwing the ice and there was a heated exchange between the two.

 

2. The teams did play in the 21st district reunion tournament held at LCHS a few years back. The schedule worked out where SHS played two games in one day. Of course LCHS just happened to be the opponent for the second game.

 

3. Mickey Dunn told his coaches that as long as he was in charge that LCHS would not play SHS. Before you dispute, ask some of your former boys coaches.

 

4. Coach Clark becomes head coach and he calls SHS wanting to schedule games. SHS response was sure lets sign a 10 year contract to play a home and home. LCHS refused - LCHS had rather pick and choose when they play. SHS stance is that if we can't play every year we will not play at all- LCHS seems to only want to play when they feel they have the better team returning and SHS has been hit hard by graduation. Just play every year and let the chips fall where they may!

 

5. Richland Christmas Classic - Why would we allow someone else to get the huge gate if SHS and LCHS can't work the issue out to play home and home?

 

6. As for the comment about being afraid of the competition - SHS plays bigger schools every year, win some lose some. See last seasons Christmas Tourny at Father Ryan - Stratford, Blackman, Mt Juliet all AAA schools. SHS plays Lewis Co every year, Spring Hill every year, Loretto every year when they were AA, Lincoln Co, David Lipscomb to name a few from the last couple of seasons.

 

7. If LCHS really wants to play - play every year stop trying to dictate scheduling to their advantage.

 

Dispute, discuss all you want - LCHS is the reason there is not a home and home with SHS. As an SHS fan, i used to want the teams to play. I could care less anymore.

 

Our sucess on the court speaks for itself!

Interesting. Thanks for your post.

There's not a side to take.It sounds like they both need time-out.

Actually it was Summertown who wanted to pick and choose what years to play.

CFTS - I agree. They should play 2 every year. It only makes sense from a $ and rivalry point of view. The administration and coaching staff has changed since the "infamous" ice throwing incident. Let's get over it and "play ball".

[golfcat]

LCHS was blamed for the ice throwing incident because we did throw ice. I was part of the throwers. we threw ice because of an incident that happened in the girls game. when they turned the lights out to introduce the boys, we unloaded. thats been 15 yrs ago. and it was ice not bombs. I do agree with one thing that was posted, Summertown and Loretto are good at volleyball. When was the last time 1500 people showed up to watch one of those games? We (LCHS) should drop them in all sports if they don't want to play the major gate games. Next thing you know they will both drop the matches between the golf teams since they have never beaten us at golf...
