I was impressed.  I got to watch several good games

yesterday.  South Cumberland had a very good team in AAA, but I must say that Nolichucky had a very good team.  I had heard about them from their first game against Livingston.  I figured I would go to see what teams had what.  They are as good as any middle school team I have seen in a long time and I have watch middle school basketball all over the nation.  I would have liked to have seen them play South Cumberland, but I don’t think they would have had much of a problem.  They played tough man defense, rushed the other team, could score inside, and could knock down the outside shots.  Then they brought in a few off the bench who could handle the game.  I bet they could have played with some of the boys teams and even high school teams.  Anyone know if they had a lot of eighth graders?  I am curious as to what they have coming back.

I saw where Nolichucky was from Greene County - I think that is a hotbed for girls basketball.  I wish I could have seen them.  South Cumberland is a good team, their main two scorers are both 7th Graders, so they should be back next year - lots of good 5th and 6th grade talent there plus good coaching.  South Cumberland ran into a real good team out of Maryville earilier this year at Farragut Tournament in Knoxville - I can't recall the name though.  I thought overall, the competition at the TNT and James C. Haile was weaker this year - girls and boys.

    • Understand the young thing.  I was one of those.  Barely 17 when I graduated from high school and started college.  But redshirting for athletic purposes isn't doing them any favors, in my opinion.  Life isn't always going to be fair.

    • The Girls Basketball team I am a part of played for a gold ball this season. One of the biggest differences in the sports is that there is no field prep/maintenance in basketball.   Our baseball is successful and play 30 games in the regular season as well. All of the teams dedicate A LOT of time in preparing for their next opponent. 
    • Im pretty excited about the new rules that NFHS voted to adopt. Does anyone know if this will take place in Tennessee starting this year? I think I heard/read somewhere that the TSSAA bi-laws say they have to mirror what the NFHS does, and when the NFHS offered the current weight classes as options, TSSAA didn’t adopt them until NFHS made them official. Did NFHS make these changes official starting next season or will it be similar to the weight classes where TSSAA doesn’t change what they are doing until it is  an officially official part of the NFHS rule book? It’ll be interesting to see if it is rolled out for the new TSSAA Middle School season and I saw a post where the youth wrestling in TN was going to vote on adopting it as well.  I’ll pray for all the youth coaches that will have to shoulder the confusion from all those crazy #### parents who already think they know the rules more than everyone else  . Imagine the first time their kid is taken down and a 3 goes up on the scoreboard or their kid gets pinned with only one point of contact in the cylinder. Their heads might explode. i kid, I kid. Sort of. I’m surprised ride time was brought down with all the other changes. I know some argue that it promotes stalling on top, but its been an official scoring method in college forever, so I figure it must be doing something right. Do any of you think that’ll ever be implemented?
