I am curious if anyone knows.... who votes on the TBCA rankings?  is it limited to a few people?

 

Because honestly, they are delusional.  

 

Mount Juliet beat Arlington who was ranked 1 .. and shutout Beech who was ranked 2.  MJ lost a 2-1 game in the rain at Foley Alabama and another game 1-0 on an error..... 

 

Yet MJ is not ranked....  high school coaches ...... a laugher

Don't sweat it...Scotts Hill was 1A champion last season, lost only two seniors, and added (injured last season) a highly rated player and a strong incoming group of freshmen. Not a mention on the 1A poll, so use it for motivation.

It's really pointless and really.....just pointless. And here's why. FROM A PLAYER'S PERSPECTIVE!!!

 

Schools usually play their district ball games around 6/6:30 local. Seven-inning game, it probably will be done about 8:15-8:30 local time. The road team will probably go find a place to go eat after, the home team (players) will probably get something to-go and take it home, eat at home, or just grab something from the concession stand (it just depends).

 

If the road team gets something to eat, then they're leaving that town when the home team players are probably at home. An hour plus drive puts the road team at a serious disadvantage, especially if their school starts at an earlier time than the opposing team.

 

Example: Hardin County is playing at Munford tonight. The difference between Hardin County High School and Munford High School is a 2 hour and 12 minute drive. 6:30 start time, 7 innings, game finished about 8:15-8:30 or even later. It'll probably be near 9:15 PM when Hardin County leaves Munford. 2 hour+ drive, it won't be until midnight when Hardin County players get some sleep, but the Munford players (if they're smart) should be in bed by 10:45 the latest.  And we all know that an hour plus of sleep is important. Both teams play at Hardin County on Tuesday the 4th. It won't effect Munford as much because they probably won't have a game on Wednesday.

 

I'm making an excuse but it is something that we should considered. How can you manage your time and understand that rest is important, especially with High School athletes. Besides, it's baseball! You're going to lose to teams that you shouldn't lose to and you will win against teams that you probably shouldn't beat. That's why I laugh at these rankings, especially for baseball.

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
