Saw the wb/Murvil game last night. Wb could have won by 30+ if they wanted. What has happened to that group of Murvil jrs? I watched them go undefeated 2 straight years in middle school. I know some of those girls are not playing anymore, but they really looked bad the last 2 times I have watched them. What's up?

 

Did the Coulter kid play?

I agree that Mo West & Bearden could make some noise in the boro this year just as they both did last year in getting to the final 4. However I do think ETN is underrated. Maybe you were just meaning in AAA but if not teams like Elizabethton, South Greene, Meigs Co, GP and a few others have great chances as well. Elizabethton probably goes on without a defeat.

I was just referring to 3a. Absolutely Elizabethtown and South greene will make noise in 2a and 1a. Only grime with Elizabethtown is their soft schedule. South greens seems to have been challenged by larger schools which will help them. Don't see gp as a contender.

It's funny how folks characterize Elizabethton's schedule as soft. The conference schedule is weak overall, but that is what it is (BTW, Sullivan East is pretty darn good). I don't know how the non-conference games can be characterized as weak. The Lady Cyclones have defeated East Hamilton, Daniel Boone twice, Gate City VA, Greeneville, South Forsyth (6A in GA), and Western Branch (6A in VA). Additionally, they beat William Blount and McMinn Central in a play day just before the start of the season. I know it's not part of the official season, but the Lady Cyclones had an impressive summer camp season as they won 23 games with 0 losses in 10 days including wins over M. West, Bearden, Jeff Co., S. Greene, and Blackman (the only defeat this summer).

You have got to be kidding me, play day at William Blount. I was there, I saw WB and MC play Elizabethton. I saw those 2 teams play their whole bench in a PLAY DAY, and seen Etown play its top 6 to try to win, (ridiculous). Oh and by the way MC almost won so please keep those stats in your pocket, for they mean absolutely nothing.

No I'm not kidding! The point of my post was about schedule strength (which was an indirect kudos to MC because I respect their program). I just threw the PLAY DAY results in for good measure. Apparently you have an issue with EHS. Regardless, you had to downplay the play day because the result wasn't to your liking. I'm betting you would have a totally different take if the results were different. And by the way, EHS did more than "try and win" in both cases - they did win! I totally understand the dynamics of the play day, but I'm sure both MC and WB didn't try to lose either. I suppose MC's losses to Maryville and WB are because their coaches tried to win and the MC coach didn't...SMH. If you're going to comment on a post, then please try and stay on topic. Otherwise, let me worry about what stats to keep in my pocket. I respect MC and know they are good, but I like the Lady Cyclones' chances in a head-to-head. Who knows, maybe that will happen.

MC has to make too. Yeah, I remember last year. EHS lost the championship to MLK (the semi in our bracket was the championship IMHO). #nopointsfor2ndplace

    • Wow, that really stinks. I hate that for you guys.
    • Not sure what you mean? 40 TOTAL? Macon is a good team no doubt, but I believe they've only scored 35 total points against Uppeeman the last two years, and that's over three games.
    • This scenario resonates with the dynamics observed in my hometown of Hartsville. The undue influence of politics on high school sports remains a pervasive issue, detracting from the integrity of athletic programs.  The proliferation of individuals driven by a thirst for power inevitably precipitates the downfall of any program. It appears that we are currently grappling with similar challenges akin to those faced by Greenback. Please accept my condolences for your ordeal.
    • From what we are hearing on the reservation we will be lucky to beat sunbright. And trust me I am not throwing stones at them because they play their hearts out. It’s a tuff game every year, just like Oakdale but when you have small numbers that’s what you get. And then you add in that you loose two top linemen and the starting qb!!!! Along with a running back!  We are in deep trouble. 
    • The coach's departure ensued due to the absence of backing from the board members, compounded by the unsettling revelation that one board member persistently surveilled him, verging on conduct akin to harassment. Furthermore, it appears that meeting the expectations of this community remains an unattainable feat, as even a hypothetical scenario of clinching five consecutive state championships would likely not suffice to quell discontent. The current situation is fraught with complications, primarily stemming from applicants for the position who have cultivated relationships with board members known to have opposed the former coach.
