TCA vs Booker T

[Galilee]

Good to know that, I hate the bad rep they give our students. I am pulling for you all also. If we both make it out that is good for Memphis basketball.

Btw1993, I can promise you NO ONE at Trinity thinks BTW doesnt have a chance. Trinity knows that BTW has long and proud history of winning. You dont get to this point (with 25 wins and a Mr. basketball finalist) and not be good. Tonight's game is between two of the top teams in the state. I think it is a game that everyone has been waiting on. Trinity knows they will have to play well to win this game... as should BTW. Its sad that one of the best teams in the state will go home tonight... whomever wins. Both teams are good teams and both deserve a lot of respect.

 

The trash talk you are referring to is mostly from people that arent even associated with Trinity. And all of the trash stems from last year on here... Booker T was made out to be some super-team that nobody could take down or even compete with for that matter. Then, a bigger and more athletic team (that was supposed to be far superior to everyone) held the ball. You say it was to bring the guards out, but your coach said it was to take the refs out of the game (this was quoted in the paper). This is where people are confused, why would a team that superior need to hold the ball and why would you allow to stay close if you wanted the refs out of it... doesnt it make sense that if it is close they could make a call to change it.

The other reason people are talking trash is the constant state of talking about getting cheated by the officials. You have already brought it up several times this year. You said earlier it should be about the kids... let it be about the kids then. I hate that a team as good as BTW has to even mention anything else... if they get beat tonight, its not the officials fault... it is bc they played a good team. TSSAA assigns the referees for each Region... if it was in Memphis it would be the same officials. I hate when teams just feel like they are going to be cheated and bring things like that up... it is just an "out" in case they were to lose. No matter what happens, both TCA and BTW have had great season and nothing to be ashamed of already.

 

I do, however, agree with you that its time for a fun night of basketball. I am really looking forward to this game. We get to see two of the top teams in the state play tonight. I also dont fault you btw1993 as you are just backing your team and supporting them. I highly respect your passion and love for the boys. You have a great team year in and year out to support.

I really thank you for that comment. Enough said let play ball and at the end of the day we pray that no kids get injury. At the end of the game all the kids are winner!

Galilee I'm waiting on next year battle between BTW and Mitchell will be a real barn burner!!

Exactly... these are the kind of days you live for. Two GOOD teams. Great basketball environment. All of these kids have already accomplished a lot this season... my hope is that they carry it into life too. Nobody wants to see anybody injured... one of the girls team came in with a girl with torn ACL last night and that just makes me hurt.

 

Mitchell and BTW will definitely be some great games the next few years.

BTW, if you will find me early I will buy you those BBQ cheese fries and a Pepsi. It will fill you up and it will melt in your mouth. It can't quite compete with good ole fashion Memphis BBQ but its mighty close. Don't buy anything until you find me! Look forward to seeing you!

The irony of this is that most of the trash talk is coming from the guy who does your color commentary during your broadcast? The same guy who complains about the officials the ENTIRE time during these broadcast making it sometimes unbearable to listen to.
