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.

    • RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.
    • 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!
