Of course you do as you should since you’re an alumni. It’s ok to disagree  one thing we do agree on is this game needs to be played!

Absolutely sir,  Let the kids play!!

The gate would be good because of Upperman fans mostly. I’ve been around a long time and the only time I’ve ever seen any amount of fans in the stands at a CHS basketball game is when they play White County. Now I’m sure this game would bring more fans in than normal for a CHS home game, however when the venue changes to Upperman high school there would be little support. I do think it would be good though from a basketball perspective and I would absolutely attend. Upperman would win both games this year imo both the girls and the boys. 

I believe the attendance would be great on both games.  And I believe that because it would pull alot of people that don't traditionally attend either schools games to watch that match up.   We both know that the attendance at CHS has been bad over the years.    There is no question about that.  But it has definitely been picking up the past couple years.    Bottom line is the game needs to be played!

I am a basketball fan first and a CHS fan second.  I love the game and when it is played the right way its a beautiful sport.   I watch alot of games and alot of different teams play.   I have watched several UHS games over the years and they are a good team but not the same type of team as they were with Levy.  I don't want to get into a debate on who would win the game because people came out of the woodwork last year when we started that debate.  I will just say this.   In the past several years UHS would have dominated that game on the girls side.   And I think CHS would have dominated the boys game.   Things are alot different now on both sides.     I guess its good that CHS plays a couple 8AA teams this year so we will get to at least have some common opponents to compare.    I hope you come check out a few games at CHS this year.  We have two of the top AAA girls teams in the state coming in the first week of the season.  Season is just around the corner...

I’m sure I’ll be there to watch my alma mater (White County) play CHS.   I’ll say this much both Upperman and Cookeville are getting the kids involved at a young age. I’ve started over and have a 3rd grader (girl) going to Upperman and playing. They’ve been playing since September and the kids are starting at age 6 now!

Now it all makes sense.    Should be some good games this year.  And yes they start really early.  It’s a year long sport now.

Cookeville is political funny duck place, very little tradition to meet parental expectations. But please, please explain how the game has passed Coach Bray by? 

Age...and changing culture. You think this hire would have occured in Cookeville 10 years ago?
