Nashville Rhythm Game @ Sparta

[WCWarrior]

The ABA franchise Nashville Rhythm has scheduled a game at White County High School on New Year's Eve. Former Warrior Kyle Gribble plays for the Rhythm. I am just curious as to what kind of crowd to expect. Does anyone plan on going?

For exact stats and standings go to nashvillerhythm.com.

Ashley McElhiney - formerly of Gleason & Vanderbilt - is their head coach. The Rhythm features Dontae Jones (Miss St.), Gribble (White Co), Jason Harrell (Obion Co), Marcus Williams (Union City) and a few others from the state.

The game is a bit different...they have no one and one's, 8 fouls puts teams in the bonus, 8 second backcourt count, if you steal the ball on defense and score an additional point is awarded. Players can stay in the game after 6 fouls, but if they committ a foul, the other team is awarded three free throws and the ball. Overtime is a four minute period and everyone is eligible - unless a player has been ejected. If it goes to double overtime, no clock and the first team to score 11 points wins. There are other interesting rules you can find at the ABA website. It sounds interesting.

Don't forget Adam Sonn from DCA/Belmont, Dontae Jones is from Whites Creek in Nashville, and others like Atiba Prater (PG from Vanderbilt)...

Interesting...I have to check this out. Good for Jason getting to play somemore ball.

Ballplaya32, Dontae Jones went to Stratford High, not Whites Creek. He ended up getting his GED to play in Junior College in Mississippi. From there, one year at Mississippi State and went pro.

Here are two rhythm players who did attend Whites Creek.

 

Desmond Cambridge - PG -went to Whites Creek and played college ball at Alabama A&M Led the nation in steals his senior yr in college.

Terrance Vanlier -SF -also went to Whites Creek and played college ball at Alabama A&M with Cambridge.

 

Desmond played on the last Whites Creek team to go to the state tourney, it was the same yr, White County one the whole thing, beating Pearl Cohn (and Ron Slay) in the semifinals, if I am not mistaken. Kyle Gribble was the glue that kept that team together. I remember Pearl-cohn having no answer for him. He was a teammate of Brent Jolley. Kyle is one heckuva ball player.

The rhythm are something like 8-2 with one of their losses coming to the team they will be playing in Sparta. I think the team coming in is from Mississippi. Should be a good one.
