I remember the Marsh name being synonymous with Alcoa basketball back in the day. Do you know a guy named Ryan Mcrae? Went to Alcoa and played for them a few years ago. I work with him at the airport.

Heard the name, but I've never met Ryan (although I'm sure many alumni would remember him). Yes, Marsh was the first name that came to mind when Alcoa basketball came up. David Marsh coached Alcoa to 7 state tourneys, including 3 final fours and a championship appearance, back when his nephew (and coaching successor) Micah Marsh played. He also coached our current head coach Joel Kirk in the mid-90's. Our student section was nicknamed the Marsh Pit for many years.

Sounds like a good game (I wasn't born yet LOL). That would have been the next-to-last or last season for our Hall of Fame coach Vernon Osborne. Coach Kirk told me he wants to get Oak Ridge back on t

That should be able to change next year. Catholic isn't playing Webb in basketball anymore so scheduling all district games in January could be realistic.

Y'all won state around the same times we did. We won it in 61 & 63. Should've won it last year too grrr

I was really hoping y'all would win. I kept up with it online, but yeah based on what I saw, OR should have. Oh well, it's a new season.

 

Yep, we won our titles in '59 and '67 and finished runner-up in '65, '82, and '92. When Alcoa and OR won our titles, there were no classifications like there are now. It was everyone vs. everyone.

Very true. Much tougher in those days to win it all.

Coach Kirk told me he wants to get Oak Ridge back on the schedule in the near future. He loves to schedule powerhouses. :thumb:

Wasn't born yet?  I was 17 and a junior in high school in Chicago.  I feel old.

We got to Cumberland Gap and the girls had enough time to change, stretch, warm-up and win an overtime game. The boys pulled out a 61-49 victory as well.

Plenty of time to spare, I see. Based on this, the KC boys will be very dangerous this year as long as everyone stays healthy. It also helps that the football players more time this year to get in basketball mode.

      I think that pretty much sums it up, really. To be perfectly honest, I'm far less sour about Eagleville getting to host themselves in the state tournament every year than I am the fact that we find ourselves in a position that we have to play STATE TOURNAMENT games at a blamed Single A facility.

      2024 Mr.Baseball predictions

      By TryNotToSuck · Posted

      It's time to put away with the award. 18 players selected, and 17 of those players are from Middle and East Tennessee. I guess they don't play baseball in West Tennessee. I understand there will be players that were "snubbed." We can make a legit argument that it occurs in Mr. Football and as well as Mr./Mrs. Basketball. But baseball is not a place where we can sit here and say "these are the 3 best players in this class and that class."  And we got to get rid of these polls bullcrap that's being released. It's all nonsense.

      Thanks. I'm just trying to understand how this process works.   It seems like a bit of a sweetheart deal to me but the cookie has to crumble somewhere I guess.

      Do you happen to know how he stacked against the other nominees? Just curious what the other stats were.
