Ya think! Pure Class!!! GEEZ! Them Big Boys played good and took it to them! I was wondering why Monterey had such a time with Loretto! Now that I seen them I know why! Congrats to Loretto they had a tough road there and came out as Champs!

Guy's why so touchy. I really sincerely meant no harm with that comment. I'm a fat boy and found myself rooting for them. Those two kids gave everything they had and I was very impressed. Loretto earned that Gold Ball!!!

Those can't be the county numbers for these cities. Is this just the downtown?

Hamilton was lucky to win that game. We all watched it and Fulton was right there. Memphis basketball top to bottom is better than the rest of the state but there’s not a huge difference with the teams at the top. There will be several teams better on this side of the state in 2AA next year. 3AAA Bearden will be back and several 1A teams will be better.  Enjoy the two this year because I believe you’ll be lucky to win two next year. I’m going to say the East takes two state titles next year. 

  Can’t wait til football season because the East will dominate next year. 4 out of 5 state Championships in 2017. NOW THAT’S DOMINATION! 

We will take luck. And whatever else we can employ. To do what these young people did is special. It's very very hard to do. Therefore, we will celebrate their accomplishment.

About football, I'm in anticipation, like you. 2016, four (4) Memphis schools brought home gold balls. One (1) division II, and three division I. The entire City celebrated that accomplishment then with a parade sponsored by the Mayor. That was another rare occurrence. When these guys do something that is unheard of, we will celebrate them. Just like every other town will celebrate the accomplishments of their young people.

To even have an opportunity to win 3 gold balls is amazing. Bringing 2 gold balls and two silver balls is an accomplishment worth celebrating. It's a rare thing.
