Who has the biggest fan following in TN? I think it's DC.

When I went to state a couple of years ago, Clarksville High School had one of the best crowds

 

That's surprising to me. I'm sure you're right that they did, but I've been to several of their regular season games and it always seems like there's no one there. I know they have a fairly big gym, but I remember even when they were really good, their home crowds wouldn't even touch 200 people. But then again, everyone likes a winner! So I stand by my earlier comment, at the state tourney, they probably did roll out big numbers.

 

Dyer County however, I must say, has big numbers ALL the time. Now their numbers grow as the tourney gets farther along, but they seem to have big numbers even on a Tuesday night against an "obion county" if you will. They have really impressed me!

DC, UC, and Bolivar...some years are better than others. The years Bolivar won back to back the fans would have followed them to the ends of the earth. Big games obvioulsy bring bigger crowds...I think DC without question. I have been to Bolivar where it was standing room only about 15 deep. I have also seen a sea of purple from UC fans at Mboro. Seen the same thing at Mboro with a sea of orange from DC. I think without question these three schools have the most loyal die hard fans.

 

 

Does anybody on here rember Bolivar vs Jackson SS for the region champiohship at Chester County back whenever. It was either the district or region championship. These two teams were MAJOR rivals back then and I mean Major...the other day terop mentioned the year these 2 teams played 5 times one season...this was the season. They played each other two time in the regular season, for the district tournament championship, for the region tournament championship, and for the state championship...Bolivar beat SS 5 times that season. The region championship was when Chism was a soph and still at Jackson SS. It was a double overtime thriller...it was HOT, MUGGY, AND OVERCROWDED BIG TIME. John Calipari and Derrick Kellog were there and the atmosphere was incredible. This was one of the best games I have ever been to in my entire life. It was just unreal.

 

I think Union City's was down compared to previous years.I saw them about 6 times this year and wasn't close to years past.!

I am not from any of these places, so I think I am objective. Dyer County and Bolivar have been very impressive with their crowds at the state tournaments in the past. Lawrence County brings huge crowds now. But my all-time memories are Science Hill and Dobyns Bennett when Pitts was in Johnson City and Buck was in Kingsport. They would play in arenas that held several thousand, and if you didn't get there waaaay early, you could forget getting in.

    • Best-of-three sectional series vs East Robertson at home starting Wednesday.  They put us out last year at this point.  Go Pirates!!
    • I don't believe they have anyone that is surbers caliber but a decent staff overall.
    • Richland plays at McKenzie on Wed.  Should be a good series.  Does Richland have good pitching?  
    • Congratulations to the Warrior baseball team winning the Region Championship.  Last night the football team beat Franklin Co 33-0 in their spring scrimmage. Warriors looked very good. Missing a few players who were playing baseball but still absolutely dominated. A lot of young ones got in halfway through the 3rd when the score reached 33-0. QB Tilton Pickett looked very sharp.  Sam Pickett is on another level this season. Seems to have put on 15 to 20 lbs in the off season and added a step as well. Transfer from last year Williamson caught numerous balls and is very elusive. Lots of athletes on this team. Defense was smothering and will only get better. The head coach from Sewanee was in attendance and offered 2 kids after the game. Could be a special year.
