Brentwood Academy 79, Knoxville Catholic 62

 

Josh Bone and Brandon Wright led the Eagles to an easy yet intense victory, while Tony Fox paced Catholic. BA was pretty sloppy and struggled at times to implement their offense against the Irish zone, but was clearly the better team and played reasonably well considering the early date in the season.

 

Unfortunately, the score wasn't the only story. Everyone at the game was treated to an embarrassing display of derision from the Knox Catholic fans, starting with the tipoff and ending a couple minutes after the game. The KCHS fans whined, cussed, screamed, and yelled from buzzer to buzzer, representing their school very poorly. The Irish coach was in on the action as well, drawing a technical foul late in the 1st Period. In addition, Tony Fox overshadowed his strong skills by yelling at the BA student section, fussing at the refs, and profanely complaining to some of his own fans. I respect his abilities -- he's a feisty, scrappy defender with a great shooting touch. But his actions contaminated any appreciation I could have had for his skills. It was very embarrassing.

 

Good win, Eagles. I hope you were as entertained by the KCHS fans as I was! :D

BA wins 79-61 I think.. Fox for Knox made several threepointers but also shot about 18. Unfortunatly he also acted like a 18 yr old punk. Breandon Wright played pretty good dunking on three consecutive offensive possesions. BA once again played 11 guys getting everyone into the action. Knox will have a decent season with Fox, but will hope they do not have see BA again in the sectionals.

It was interesting to watch. The BA players were just laughing at the fury of the parents in the stands, the constant swearing of the players on the court, and the out of control coach. If this had been anywhere near a close game, it would have been annoying, but it was more just embarrassing and funny.

 

Perfect examples; one of the KCHS parents was actually taunting a BA player at one point, and there were two intentional fouls on KCHS in the last 3 seconds. KCHS has some good players. They are small, but quick and very dangerous shooters. They could have a great year, but discipline will be key. Honestly, they need some leadership from the coaching staff and the parents

i was at the game and i dont see any thing wrong with their actions. maybe they yelled a little more than most teams, but they were just into the game and wanted to win BADLY. the determination on their faces told the story, the catholic kids that is. the ejected players and technical fouls, were clearly the ineffectiveness of the referees to control the game. anyway, catholic has a dynamite dandy of #12, who hit just about 234 three pointers in this one it seemed like. who is he? he should be getting some looks from the likes of florida and kansas, IMO. comments aand questions are encouraged. THANKS!!

    • Trinity Christian Academy will host the West Tennessee High School Basketball All-Star games on Saturday.  The girls game starts at 5 and boys will play at 6:30. In the boys game, Mr Basketball finalist Maliki Brooks from Union City is scheduled to compete. On the other side, the ultra talented AJ Morman will be defending the hometown turf one last time. West Tennessee Sports will livestream the two contests beginning at 4:50 pm Saturday.  The broadcast link is https://www.facebook.com/WestTennesseeS1. Stan Gerard will have the call of both games.
    • Do you have contact numbers for these coaches or schools 
    • My honest prediction for us this year is that we will be slightly worse than we were last year. I hope I’m pleasantly surprised but I don’t see it happening. Lost some seniors who had been playing since day 1 as freshman. Lost a lot on the line. It will be an uphill battle for us. Hopefully we improve as the year progresses and maybe will have a dog in the fight by playoff time
    • With the loss of 5 players plus losing the 8th graders I can't see Greenback fielding much more than a 18 man team this year and if so the Sunbright game may be their only chance of a win from what I heard this morning.
    • Yes I think Fillies will be really good by end of season.  They are missing their Sr center right now who is a game changer and they are meshing all these freshman with three starting senior guards from last season.  Looking forward to seeing them get better and better.
