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.

    • Lee would have been a good choice, also.  I'm sure Benny was involved with the decision.  
    • Personally I was pulling for Lee Hammonds to get another shot. He’s earned it! 
    • Tyler Williams was the logical choice to be named head football. He served as the Highlanders’ strength coach and offensive coordinator.
    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
