I had an interesting discussion with my nephew this past weekend about who he thought was the greatest Highland's football player of them all. He said Jared Lorenzen, and I say Marty Moore. I have to admit that I am somewhat new to Highlands football compared to some of you, but I thought it might be fun to read your comments. What say you?

Brown will be back, not sure about Edmondson. As for QB, probable starter will be Carlton. He has filled in well as a backup to Florence over the past few seasons and will do a good job as the starter.

I remember back when the season first started, people were saying how Pittman had greatly improved. Maybe Pittman became better then Arrez? Not saying this is fact but maybe thats what they are getting at.

I think they said a little over 16,000.

Could they? Yes. But any team can beat another. I just dont see Holmes being denied in this tourny.

Semifinals.

Gallatin was up 4 with 14 seconds left. Coty Minnis got an "and 1" to cut it to 1. Shelby then fouled the inbounds and Gallatin made 1 of 2. On Shelby's next poss. Minnis again got an "and 1" to put them up 1 with 6 seconds left. Gallatins buzzer beater missed. :cry::ohbrother:

I actually like this list. Its not so much as who is the best team, but who has the best chance to win it based on the draw.

Both games have been close and down to the final minute. One of these days, Heritage is gonna sneak up on a team in the 9th region and beat them.

Heartwarming. Great story and glad you shared with the rest of us Clyde.:thumb:

I was the score keeper in a freshman girls game in the 9th region recently. The home team was getting the slobber knocked out of them. 38 point deficit at half time. Neither team learned anything. The winning team did not press after the first few minutes and they did not seemingly want to run the score up. It was just that the other team was that bad. I asked the referees to invoke a running clock. They said there is no rule for that. The only way a game gets shortened is if one team calls it quits.

Congrats to the Lady Cats! Bring home another victory tomorrow.:banana:

One down - two to go! Whaddaya say Wildcats? Might as well join the lady Cats down in Richmond? Whaddaya say now? C'mon Wildcats!:dancingpa

Gotta back the Wildcats from Gallatin. Would love to see them make it 4 in a row! Stay with the champs until someone knocks them off! Go Cats!:thumb:

I, for one, enjoy seeing the Elliot County kids having success. Like you say, teams like this come once in a lifetime for a small school. So it was with the Gallatin County kids last season. My son played on that team, and I could not have been more proud of him, and his teammates. Since the season ended last March for them, I can hardly bring myself to watch high school basketball. I understand what you are saying in that you are enjoying the ride. Hang on to this moment for all you are worth.... when it is over the finality of it all really hits hard on you and the kids themselves. Go Elliot County! Go!

I think you are absolutely correct on the chair being used as a prop for a joke coach Jones was attempting to make. I agree that Sean Knollman is one of the best in the region. :thumb:

Last year, while playing there, Coach Jones ended up on the floor because of a defective chair. Perhaps that is why he decided to be 'safe' and bring his own this time. Coach Jones, is a class act and a good person. Get over it and have a laugh.

Not certain of a 10 pt margin, but certainly going to be tough for the youngsters of GC to play in Owen's gym. Place gets rowdy and loud when a close game is going on. This will be a good test of the meddle for the younger Cats. Go Cats!:thumb:

Is Maddox going to play for GC, or is he injured? Huge difference in the outcome of this game. I think w/o Maddox, GC becomes to one dimensional which will allow Owen to key on Jones easily. I look for him to be double teamed all night. Good luck Gallatin! A speedy recovery wish to Trent Maddox as well.

Hope Maddox is ok. Nice win for the Cats!

thanks for the info:thumb:

Why didn't Maddox play?

Seemed to me that he played very well. Made several shots from the top of the key. Looks like the kid is gonna be a good player if he keeps at it.:thumb:

I was there for the JV game and it was ugly. WV won, but really, both teams looked sloppy. An ugly win is still a win though. Congrats to the WV JV players.
