well, honestly polls dont mean anything... it all matters in the end... POST SEASON is when it all counts... you have to remember most district tournaments have majority of those teams in them in a seeded bracket... you can still have the number 6 team in the district win state... its who's hot and on a run that make it to the state finals... all polls do during the season is give certain teams credit for what they have accomplished over those weeks of playing... sometimes its good and sometimes its bad, reason why is because when you're on top.. everyone is headhunting after you for bragging rights... honestly they should do away with polls because these people that rank them do they go see EVERY GAME at EVERY HS so how could they possibly know who is the best team in the state... its not like the state tournament is ONLY the top 8 teams in the polls... So what's the big deal who's first or last.. in baseball ANYTHING can happen!!!

How can Houston be #1 in the state with a loss to a small private school in memphis, Briarcrest. Briarcrest is a 2a school with only like 250 guys at the school and houston got their briches pulled down and spanked by them. If this Briarcrest team can become more consistant, no one with be able to stop them on their way to get another gold ring.

yes polls don't really mean anything, they are more for talk like this post. But hey, the team has one loss in 11 games thru Sunday ( thats when the records where taken thru) and played 6 games on 6 consecutive days - i'd say that is pretty good. According to my sources in Memphis the competition was very good. There are probably 4 teams who are #1 material - Houston, Germantown, Riverdale and Farragut... we'll see how it shakes out. I don't think that Knoxville area baseball is quite as strong as it has been in the past. bballguy4 - who do your feel deserves the #1 ranking at this time - you wouldn't happen to be a riverdale or farragut fan would you?

Houston--Mon.-beat Jack. northside

tues.- beat munford

wed-beat E.C.S.

thur-beat hunters lane

fri.- beat oak ridge

sat- lost to cordova

I don't know if anyone in the state played a tougher schedule. coach McCarter is not scared to play a tough schedule and if you do sometimes you are going to lose.My hat is off to Houston for a great start.

As someone said, polls are for debate, and "ain't it great to be an American" so that we can......and aren't we lucky that come May it will be decided on the field and not by the press. Press coverage for H.S. baseball suffers throughout the state. It is through site's like Coach T that people can discuss what they have seen. Thanks Coach T "for the vine."

W. TN. is always strong......Middle and E. TN. do not come up short either.....let's just continue to watch the scores and eventually the top teams will meet in May. The tournament's going on now are great warm ups as teams that do not normally meet, can, but most do not throw their #1, #2, and in some cases their #3, or #4. It appears that there area number of good teams and alot of quality players......it has just started....and I for one, am very excited. Hope to see you in "The Bluff City."

      The yearning for enlightenment has been an incessant companion, fueling an insatiable thirst for knowledge and understanding. Given your extensive coverage of football and the apparent breadth of your expertise, I am inclined to seek your esteemed opinion on the matter: who, in your estimation, emerges as the favored candidate? Furthermore, since the mantle of head coach has been vacated, upon whom would you bestow the mantle of leadership?

      Shoulders dad graduated for TC, and Kyle began his coaching career early on at TC although he wasn't there long. Shoulders would be a homerun, but don't see him leaving Macon anytime soon.

      Perhaps it is within the realm of possibility that the comprehension of my discourse, both by yourself and others, may be circumscribed by the boundaries of intellectual acumen. Might one contemplate this notion from such a perspective? Allow me to clarify that my intent does not lean towards disparagement, save for instances where provocation is directed towards myself or the esteemed troupe of the Trousdale County Yellow Jackets who proudly find domicile upon the hallowed grounds of CREEKBANK. In contemplation of the candidates under discussion, it is conjectured that individuals such as Gregory, Woodmore, Vetetoe, Eden, Hackett, and Cothron may emerge as contenders. Regrettably, it is deemed improbable that Shoulders shall express interest in this pursuit. Speculation arises regarding the potential candidacy of BJ West, albeit the implications of familial ties with Lafayette introduce complexities to such a scenario. The enigma of Dr. Clint's deliberations looms large, fraught with the weight of a formidable decision yet to be made.

      My kind sir, you seem to be lost within the time space continuum having traveled from the 16th Century or you aspire to hide your true intelligence by masking your language with that of the great playwright. You know good and well, your commentary takes your fellow comrades hours to decipher what you are really saying and most of them are likely left questioning whether you have insulted them or find them to be in your favor. I offer you some advice. In my travels through this area of the country, it is best to speak slow and with a twang and you don't annunciate  words to their fullest. Your points will be clear then!  Any names been mentioned around town as Actual Applicants to this job? Seen several post mentioning individuals, but I haven't heard of any of them except for Shoulders. Does he have ties to TC?  Have amy of the other names mentioned ever been in the HC position before?
