If I heard correctly Elswick quit. And his senior banner was gone so I think it’s true. I hope Antoniak is able to come back but I haven’t heard any news. White should be back soon. Heard it was a stomach bug. 

If that's true, I hate that.  He gave them a little depth and could score a few here and there.

I heard Antoniak would be back in a week, or 2.

Good win for the Tigers last night. Any time you beat LA is a good win. Make no bones about that's not a LA team of old.  We have more quality players than them, they just have a stud. White and Antoniak do help and will help as far as depth and quality.  Hate to see Elswick quit, heard that before the game. We are 3-6, so Moonshiner it may end up better and it may not. Time will tell, but the Tigers are young with potential.  Hopefully you are right.  We got Lebanon next at Watertown.  Good luck Tigers.

 Congrats to Upperman on beating Alcoa on Saturday in a very competitive game. I expect these two teams will have a good chance to make it to Murfreesboro. 

Yeah man, I heard some of the Alcoa players were still doing football. Any players out that could have made difference?

Anywhere I could find the full brackets for that tourney?

Better may not translate into wins yet as much as it does effort and playing as best as you can. I like what I saw in most games, but a couple (White Co. and slow start to H2O) not as much. LA wasn't the usual LA, but in years past seems like DC found a way to lose no matter what LA put in the floor.

We can beat Lebanon and we get to see if we can play better vs Cookeville.  Two good games to play.  Finding the right combination of starters and playing time for each kid is very important.  Moonshiner you going today.

We play at 530 today vs Lebanon and 530 tomorrow vs Cookeville.  Both at Watertown High school.  Good luck Tigers.

Planning on it...…..both days. I looked at Lebanon's schedule....don't know about that one. We played Cookville better than the score indicated last week. Best as I remember, seemed like they couldn't miss any 3 they took, but DC stayed close. DC needs a total effort from our big guys. Seems they come and go, but that may be because of the flow of the game sometimes...….  
Hey Ice, maybe you know. I saw a kid with a leg/knee brace on, I think he must be a freshman, I never saw him before this year. 1st name Robert I think. Looks to be a big kid. Know anything about him?

Lebanon is 7-1 and their only loss is to Mt Juliet, arguably one of the top AAA teams in the state, by 6 points. They also won at Cookeville. Anything is possible, but I would say it's far more likely Lebanon wins fairly easily. You're probably setting yourself up for disappointment if you expect Dekalb to win that game.

 Well we had 2 kids that will be starters that come out this Monday. Cam Burden and Isiah Cox will start for this team. Burden is 6’2 post player that scored 30 in the state tournament last year for Sevier County. He’s very athletic and should be a huge help. Isaiah Cox is 6’3 long, athletic and can play multiple positions. We also have another guard that’s very good defensively that should help us. This team will look totally different by years end as long as the point guard gets healthy. We won’t know the status of him until next Tuesday. With a full roster this team could be really really good.

Wheeler kid. A young post that has improved each and every year. Could be a good player down the road. I missed the Lebanon score bad. 86-42 was the Final. Absolute no show by the Tigers.  Not much to say after that one. I know it's tough games to win, but at least be somewhat competitive.  Maybe we can get Cookeville tomorrow.

It was competitive......1st half, despite all the mistakes. Not having White hurt. Best ball handler we have.

    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching stuff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching stuff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure. 
    • This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.
    • Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.
