Disappointing news with Gillespie. Really wish the best for him, silly mistakes as a teenager. I wish times news could’ve released it another way. They didn’t need to blast him like that. From what I’ve seen with Poore the past 7 years, he will handle this the right way. 

I might be the only one but from the info we have seen I probably would lean towards playing him. How many high school basketball players do you think were doing a little drinking this past Saturday night. Even on teams that are in the final 8. I guess it's all about not getting caught though.

Hate it for DB, as it will hurt their chances, but I don’t Gillespie playing again. If this was a one time thing, maybe, but the fact is this is the second time this school year that he’s gotten into trouble. I just don’t see any way Poore and the administration allow him to play.

Getting caught for a second time is probably going to be the big issue here.

Was the first offense a DUI?

From what I heard it was, but he was a minor. Not 100% on the full story. 

I believe the first was marijuana.  He was with Dabbs of Greeneville when it happened, I do know that.

Dabbs was suspended till after the first of the new year for his role.  Gillespie only sat out three games.

If it was his first time I don’t care to play him but after this you can’t play him. I don’t see how he can be changed with DUI. I guess the only way is that push button ignition.

    • I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"
    • TSSAA will let them all go to Mase.
    • Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
    • I would not put too much stock into the UH over Eagleville. From what I understand they were pretty banged up in that tourney. Catcher was out, they were throwing pretty deep in their bullpen and a few key players were beat up in their infield. Sounds like they are pretty healthy heading into the district tournament. Look at their schedule, they played some really good teams.
