CCHS Releases 2008-09 Basketball Schedule

NEWPORT-Tournaments and new non-conference faces on the schedule comprise the 2008-09 basketball schedule released by Cocke County High School last week.
Regular season non-conference games with Science Hill and Heritage, along with appearances in the LandAir Classic for the Fighting Cocks and the Chop House Classic and GreenBank Ladies Classic for the Lady Red headline the 2008-09 schedule.
CCHS retains non-conference games with Grainger County (formerly Rutledge), Gatlinburg-Pittman, and Pigeon Forge for the regular season slate. The school also retained their relationship with Sullivan Central for a Hall of Champions contest, the fifth consecutive year the schools have met in that contest. Cocke County also added a Hall of Champions contest against Sevier County, which opens the season on November 18 in Newport.
In addition to the non-conference games on the slate, 10 games in the Inter Mountain Athletic Conference are again on the schedule. However, the schedule of conference games brings a new twist in 2008-09.
Over previous years, eight of the 10 conference games have been played on Friday, with one conference season series being played on a Tuesday night. This year, four conference games will be played mid-week, giving the team three weeks with two conference games, a dramatic turnaround from the usual pace of one conference game per week.
Cocke County’s regular season wraps up on February 13 at Heritage, and the District 2-AAA tournament begins on Wednesday, February 18 at Jefferson County. Jefferson County was the slated host for the 2007-08 tournament before the event was moved to Greeneville’s Hal Henard Gym prior to the season.
