"Welcome to you from Memphis, Tennessee . . . You'all come on down, ya hear!"

[Guest vet]

And through all the adversity, lack of support, poor coaching, crime and urban blight. We still manage to beat your best. Amazing isn't it.

[CoachSH]

But you do not beat our best.

 

I will say this one more time.

 

WEST HAS THE PLAYERS

 

EAST HASE THE TEAMS AND COACHES they also have some pretty good players but # by # they do not match up to the west but still the East holds their on. IMAGINE THAT.

This Thread is out of Hand.

Ya know, no matter how much you want to bash us, hornet, some of us really do love Memphis, and some of us would much rather be here than out in the middle of nowhere someplace in the general vicinity of Knoxville.

 

And ETown, if we don't beat your best, then please remind me where the last five AA and last three AAA champions are from?

[CoachSH]

I will give you that. I am just saying that the history with west and middle and east the State is even in Championships.

 

White Station is a great team and has a great coach but there are some great coaches and good teams in east tn also.

Those AA and AAA champs were from Memphis! You know, that quiet little town located on the Mississippi. The town of ONE MILLION people and NO ZONING regulations for student athletes.......UMMMMMMM I wonder how they "ASSEMBLE" such good teams.

[Opperman]

Swish, again, you haven't answered my question. If they win because of open enrollment, then why are there never any undefeated teams, and why has no Memphis team repeated in 20 years?

 

Heck, the team that probably takes the most advantage of open enrollment hasn't won a game in Murfreesboro, much less won the state, in a good 10 years.

Swish--once again, I will make my point that Bartlett High is not in the city of Memphis, is not part of Memphis City Schools, does not have open enrollment, does not have the same talent pool as the Memphis schools, gets only players from its district (okay, I'll admit there were some who found loopholes to get into Bartlett, but that's what a good coach will do for you.) And they still won the state championship in 2001.

 

And, anybody who thinks that Terry Tippett at White Station is not a good coach has obviously never seen White Station play. You can't win without coaching; this is why teams like Hamilton don't even make it to Murfreesboro (much less win the state championship) most years.

Lets give Memphis to Mississippi, or Arkansas.....

Then the basketball in Tenn. would stink.
