I was fortunate to witness three of the games last night and what dandies they were. First off North Greene beats Cloudland with a fifteen footer at the buzzer to win by one(51-50). Next, Unaka makes a three pointer with two seconds left to beat H.V. by three(66-63) and finally Hampton and Whitesburg went down to the wire before Whitesburg won out 78-72. Three great games that were not decided until the final seconds. That's what tournament action is all about. Saturday night's games will be: Cloudland vs. Happy Valley, Unaka vs. North Greene, Hampton vs. Unicoi Co., and finally for the championship will be Whitesburg vs. University High.

Unaka probably got more freshmen out this year than in several years. (Even after the PETERS kid went to Betsy, which in the long run may have been a blessing team-wise)The best freshmen so far this year seems to be the Lowe and Greer kids. Both seem to give 110% and show lots of talent. The Waters boy is a good player but isn't ready for Varsity yet.

I thought this thread was about results but I cannot find out who won the tournament. All the talk is about losing teams. Oh, the winner was not from Carter County so the winner is not important.

 

Volunteer did not win it's tournament but I listed all the scores. Why can you not do the same?

University High won the tournament. Bradley is a real player. He is a junior who will be to old to play his senior season. Unaka has a good team. Played well after an opening day loss. I think they won 2 games. Happy Valley has lots of talent but I won't get into it. Hampton does good with the talent they have. Tolley could be a fine player for Cloudland but seems to be a non favorite to his coach. Bradley and Chambers was fun to watch, so was Byrd. They had some close games in that tournament and the crowds were very good.

    • I believe that was last year. I was interested in the Jones vs Baker comment, so I went back and looked at GC. I am not a fan of either nor am I a baseball guru. This looks like to me the duel was not close and if the errors would not have been made Eagleville would have won. I assume you are a little biased. I do think your mph for Jeffcoat and Baker must be from last year.  Baker-85 pitches 67 strikes. 5.2 innings, 5H, 1BB, 0ER and 7K's. 3 errors  Jones- 78 pitches 37 strikes. 4 innings, 2H, 5BB, 0ER and 1K. 1 error   Adams and the UH kid are really good as well. What about South Pitt and Oakdale? I heard they have some good ones. 
    • I hate this for all the kids in the program and fans alike. I can't recall of anything like this before in my lifetime but I'm sure it isn't a first. After criminal investigations are complete and the TSSAA looks into this the program it will be facing Nuclear Winter for some time to come. It's always the innocent left behind that end up paying the price for something someone else has done. I'm sure the transfer portal will be very active in Clinton over the summer months. How could you find a good coach worth his salt that would take on a situation like this not knowing what will happen. 
    • I’ve seen Jeffcoat in person twice and he was 84-87 both times and the one time I saw Baker he was low 80’s, he actually got out dueled by Jones from ER in that outing.
