I will still go with Tajion but Tee Higgins is finally rounding into basketball shape. I sure hope Oak Ridge makes it to state so everybody can get to see him play. It is pure joy.

I will be beyond stunned if OR doesn't make state tourney. They are obliterating everybody they play in the Knoxville area and Region 1 is way down from what I have heard.

I'm still a big TD fan. Other than Tee, he is the best player in the area-always has been. He makes everyone around him better.

Blackmon is good but there are 3 other players besides Tee on Oak Ridge's team better then Blackmon. Bush when healthy, Tajion Jones, and Anthony Gibson are all better players.

I like T.D. Blackmon and Easton Upchurch- both have had good careers at Maryville. The Oak Ridge guys mentioned are good, too. But realistically, I doubt seriously that any ET players will get any of the three AAA Mr. Basketball nominations. There are just too many players in middle and especially west Tennessee that are really good.

 

On the slim chance that ET does get one of the nominations, I would have to give my vote to Jones of Oak Ridge.

    • “No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team.” For language? I’m not seeing that as a dealbreaker. 
    • Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job. 
    • I am going to assume you are not a lawyer, and most reasonable lawyers would not say the lawsuit has a zero percent chance in court. I agree with you that a coach has the ability to dismiss anyone from a team. However, Ms. Winfree was never presented with the opportunity to present her witnesses and have them tell the coaches and administrators what they heard. A lawyer could better explain the lawsuit and the grounds to you. Before you start making wild assumptions about the lawsuit, would it be too much to ask that you do a little legal research first? The lawsuit is dealing with due process, loss of property, and defamation.   You can read the lawsuit here: https://bdnewsletter.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/doc-1-complaint-filed-4-18-2024.pdf  
    • The administration took the path of backing the coach and whispering to people that the kid was a problem. The reality is that the kid was never a problem on a team or classroom. The player says she has witnessed who back her not saying the f-word.  Why did the coach make that story up and other stories? I am not Sigmund Freud and do not have an answer for the ex=-coach's behavior..  
    • I think they have they coach they want close to being done. I guess we will all see how this plays out. I hope the hire a good one. There are some players in the box for the next coach to work with.
