Shelby has been in the Union Family a while. She influenced a lot of kids every where. GC has an excellent coach but she would be welcomed with open arms if she was at GC. 

I think she could be the answer for the Tigers if given a fair chance. She won't be fired because a few delusional fans go nuts after losing to a bitter in county rival, but she won't ever be successful either if her players have to go home and listen to their parents, relatives, and neighbors run down her ability to coach. Players have to believe in their system, and they have to give their best effort for it to work... long term this depends on support from the community and the players for Coach Bowman to succeed at Lexington.

Unpopular opinion coming in.... Mr/Miss Basketball, Mr. Football, really doesn't matter. Way too much importance is put on it and there is absolutely no way anyone is watching a majority of the t

This is just my two cents but if football has 5 semi-finalists and 3 finalists in each class with 6 classes why can’t basketball do the same with 3?  Makes no sense to me.

Absolutely, not taking anything away from the girls. They are all good players. However, I know for a fact there are 5+ girls in East Tennessee more skilled, better players and just absolutely upstand

I hope she finds a place that is a good fit for her. She is a basketball 24/7 type of coach. I am not so sure Lexington is like that.

This is accurate according to TSSAA. She is on the district with Riverdale and Blackman i believe

Same district but located in Smyrna.  They are hosting the district tournament this week and will play Riverdale on Saturday. She really coaches those girls up and took Riverdale to OT last Friday. Should be a good game on Saturday .

East Tennessee snubbed again. Let’s release names of “committee” members. 

Unpopular opinion coming in....

Mr/Miss Basketball, Mr. Football, really doesn't matter. Way too much importance is put on it and there is absolutely no way anyone is watching a majority of the teams in the state play to build their opinion. It is a great honor if you win it, and all are deserving of the honor. However, not winning doesn't make your contributions any less valuable. We have many districts and regions that can't get their MVPs correct, why do we expect that they can do it on a state level.

That being said, there are a lot of fan bases that are unrealistic about how good their own players are. Most fans watch their own team all season long and struggle to view everyone through unbiased lenses. Just because your player had a great year, doesn't make them the best. Doesn't take anything away from them, but is just the way it is. Too many people in this world think the "system" is out to get them.

BEST POST I HAVE SEEN ALL YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And i will admit idk everything about basketball, but what i do know is that I was blessed enough to have a great D2 career and some of these fans need to go watch games at every level before stating a kid is this or that or can play here or there.

      And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

      Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

      Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff 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 staff 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.
