Tough 2 point loss to Fulton last night, who I think is one of the better teams in the state regardless of classification. The big 3 of the twins and Lee is hard to contain. I thought the foul on Coop was an awesome defensive play by him, and was a bad call. Would we have won if that call isn’t made? Not necessarily, but it surely didn’t help, and at the end of the day is just an excuse. It was a legitimate clean block though, if you go back and watch it. At the end of the day, though, we couldn’t take care of the basketball when we needed to the most, and I think our kids will really benefit from this game, even though we lost. It was a tremendous game and well played. No trash talking, just 2 class programs playing their tails off and competing.
 

I also wanted to give a shoutout to the whole Fulton program and Coach Wright for wearing those pregame warmup shirts to commemorate Brennen Scott. That was very classy of them.

I think Fulton will win 3A again.

They should. I don’t see anyone stopping them, unless there’s a team out west I don’t know about. I’m afraid they’re gonna drop off a bit after this season and losing the big 3. We hammered their JV by 30, so unless they have some move-in’s, they’ll drop off a bit. Of course Wright is a great coach and can work wonders. Hard not to drop off after losing the guys they’ll lose after this season.

Those 3 killed Maryville also.

My only question is, will Oak Ridge make the return trip to Austin East next year...... Its time to add them to the schedule, Coach Denard is doing a great job with the AE program 

Wasn’t that game we played against AE part of a tournament that was played at OR though? I don’t know if they’ll be on the schedule or not, to be honest. It wouldn’t bother me if they were. They’re good competition. Cherry is outstanding.

    • 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. 
    • This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.
    • Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.
    • It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers.    I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover.
