Looks like Science Hill, Grainger County and Cloudland are best bets to represent East Tenn in the State Tournament. Others who could possibly make it to the tourney are Morristown East, Tennesee High, and Elizabethton. Outside possibilities include Morristown West, Unicoi County, and who else???

I'd say Science Hill, Grainger and Cloudland are the best bets. Hampton could make it from D1A. But, unless someone has seen something I haven't, I don't see a D1AA representative or anyone else from D1AAA making it this year.

Bouncepass, I remember the 08-09 season all too well. Cloudland made the pre-season front page with their senior laden class and were supposed to be a fixture at the state tournament. That team wound up being over-hyped. They had no depth or height and were slower than the lady Bulldogs that year. Hampton wound up going to the final four. My point is this: I don't think its gonna happen this year because Cloudland IS everything they are on paper. They have speed, good shooters, and tall posts. I do think the Lady Bulldogs have a legitamite shot of going with the Lady Highlanders to the state tournament kind of like the boys did last year on both teams.

I agree that Hampton has a good chance. Science Hill and Cloudland will be very disappointed with anything less than a trip to Murfreeboro, but they still have to win the games. Grainger has to be the favorite of the AA teams to make it based on their consistency. The rest of our AA teams are erratic, though Unicoi County and Elizabethton have played some games at a very high level.

I could see Morristown East, Tennessee, or even Morristown West or possibly Sevier County beating any of the Knoxville area AAA teams on their home floor in the sub-state game. I see SH and Cloudland as East Tenn. best chance for a state title.

I agree. Those top 3 have all been impressive this year, and I have no reason to think they are gonna slow down now. Science Hill is one of the most balanced teams I have seen in a while and it shows on the floor.

 

I haven't been overly impressed with Morristown East this year in the games I have watched. There is no doubt they are light years better than they have been recently, but I think they still have quite a way to go before being a true contender. That being said, I have only seen them play 4 or 5 games and they may prove me wrong...but I just don't see it happening for the Lady Canes this year.

I don't really see Grainger making to the State Tournment.....SH is a LOCK and Cloudland should be there as well. Mo East can get there as long as they host Sub-State game.

In order for that to happen East would have to beat SH which i do not see happening. Granddad will say that East beat them last year. He forgets they were missing a starter and a player off the bench that plays a lot this year. East will have to win on the road IMO but I think Farragut will have the upper hand in Region 2.

Just curious, who will knock out Grainger? The words you put in my mouth need a little salt (lol). If East travels to Farragut (or where ever) they should have a really good chance to win. Region 2 is about the weakest I have seen in a long , long time. East starts 4 seniors and 1 junior with 2 high quality subs off the bench so if they are to make any noise it better be this year. If East don't make it to state this year they will have a long wait for the next opportunity.

Based on the news trottercoach said my region semi-finals look like this now.

Science Hill vs. Boone - Science Hill

Tenn. High vs. Morristown West- Tenn. High

 

As I think Morristown West will win D2 and East finish 2nd. Boone played SH really tuff for a 3 quarters from what I heard. I can see them up ending D2 #2 seed as I see them finishing 3rd in D1

Could be with East losing its top scorer. But watch out for Cherokee, their other big girl is back healthy. She (Taylor) scored 19 and had 15 rebounds in the win over East. D2 now could actually see West, East, Sevier, Cherokee or even Seymour winning the tournament. SH is a lock for sure unless something totally unfortunate happens. Did Tennesee beat West in overtime early in the season? Anyway, I know it was close and West's 4 starting sophmores have all improved quite a bit.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.

      Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.

      It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers.    I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover.

      That's complete BS.  Nobody at ACHS has access to CHS student records unless a transfer is made from CHS to ACHS.
