You better get yours facts right before coming at me. North was a 1a school.

I should have been more clear with my "facts". I just didn't realize I was dealing with an idiot. When North was built they had 1500 students. In other words the "Gym" was not a 1a gym. A few years ago the City annexed that area and almost half the students started going to DB which reduced the student body to a little over 600. So in fact the Gym was built for a student body of 1500. It's not a 1a gym.

Just like an Indian fan resorting to name calling.

I mean you did say “You better get your facts right before coming at me. North was a 1a school.” it was an idiot comment since in fact you didn’t know that it was built for 1,500 students and didn’t know any facts at all…..

When it closed it was 1a and that was a fact. It does look nice but they need to put  padding up behind baskets before someone gets seriously injured.

That has nothing to do how big the school was and in fact it was a 2a school for football when it closed.  If it was built as a 1a school and had a 1a size gym then you would be right but it shows you have no clue about the size of North’s old campus or the school.

Well, seeing as I never saw a game at North and had never been in that gym, I was very impressed with it.  I considered Science Hill the best gym in the conference until Friday night.  Now I think we have it.  I wouldn't mind that becoming our permanent home, even though I know it's not in the plan.  Great crowd Friday night as well, though now that the "new" has worn off, I'd say the crowds won't be near as large except for maybe this week for the Alpha and when we play The Hill.

The Tribe played much better last week.  I know Greeneville was without Dabbs, but that was still an impressive win going on the road and whipping them in their house.  And getting revenge on Volunteer was great as well.  Hopefully someway we can get a rubber match with them this week in the Alpha to settle the series for the year.

Absolutely correct.

    • Understand the young thing.  I was one of those.  Barely 17 when I graduated from high school and started college.  But redshirting for athletic purposes isn't doing them any favors, in my opinion.  Life isn't always going to be fair.

    • The Girls Basketball team I am a part of played for a gold ball this season. One of the biggest differences in the sports is that there is no field prep/maintenance in basketball.   Our baseball is successful and play 30 games in the regular season as well. All of the teams dedicate A LOT of time in preparing for their next opponent. 
    • Im pretty excited about the new rules that NFHS voted to adopt. Does anyone know if this will take place in Tennessee starting this year? I think I heard/read somewhere that the TSSAA bi-laws say they have to mirror what the NFHS does, and when the NFHS offered the current weight classes as options, TSSAA didn’t adopt them until NFHS made them official. Did NFHS make these changes official starting next season or will it be similar to the weight classes where TSSAA doesn’t change what they are doing until it is  an officially official part of the NFHS rule book? It’ll be interesting to see if it is rolled out for the new TSSAA Middle School season and I saw a post where the youth wrestling in TN was going to vote on adopting it as well.  I’ll pray for all the youth coaches that will have to shoulder the confusion from all those crazy #### parents who already think they know the rules more than everyone else  . Imagine the first time their kid is taken down and a 3 goes up on the scoreboard or their kid gets pinned with only one point of contact in the cylinder. Their heads might explode. i kid, I kid. Sort of. I’m surprised ride time was brought down with all the other changes. I know some argue that it promotes stalling on top, but its been an official scoring method in college forever, so I figure it must be doing something right. Do any of you think that’ll ever be implemented?
