Always.  But seriously I dread this time of year. When the SuperBowl is over until scrimmages come in late July is a depressing time for me. Gotta keep myself amused some how.

Get out of the house and enjoy some of these other great high school sports

Yep. I try to see as much basketball as I can. This weeks weather has me bored and eating every thing I can find.

Speaking of eating… Just thought you might want to know the Mic Stand has opened a second location. It’s over here a couple of miles from my house in Bradford. Haven’t visited yet but planning on running the clock on it real soon. 
 

On a different note, you gonna watch the Stanks and Dburg play tomorrow night??

I saw where they have opened that up over that way. 
 

I am planning on going to the game.

i will say, how they divy up teams and into what "areas" make like little to no sense in some of those classes... like look at A; you have teams from Celina and Smithville playing against teams as far as the TN River... this makes sense... how... but i digress; i know our local school wants nothing to do with them and would prefer to play independent anyway, as it seems with about a third of the Upper Cumberland schools

That’s why the travel is so far for some teams.  A lot of smaller schools not making the change which leaves big gaps in the map.   But the idea of a true state championship should be appealing to most programs.

Scheduling & travel are ridiculous. Bethel Springs girls played Friday evening in Whiteville, then had to travel 99 miles to face South Fulton on their home court at 11:00 Saturday morning. Selmer boys having to travel 100 miles or more to Troy.

That problem has more than one culprit.  It began with the leadership in McNairy County not wanting to move up county games so the area tournament could be done earlier.  Even without the weather  it would have wound up the same way.  However with the weather the tmsaa was unwilling to move sectional back

Really.  Tradition is hard to change

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
