Huntingdon 68 - MCK 55. Won't be all that close. Mckenzie needs their Olgelsby kid to score. Rust from football on some as well. Also, HHS will control the boards. With Olgelsby Id take McKenzie in a close one. Both teams well coached. Should be a fun district tournament, but tonight? Could get ugly.

Coach Moore has done an excellent job with these boys! Good luck this season! Off to a great start.

Congrats girls! I only got to see you once...but you guys really worked hard and played together! And that's what it's all about!

I heard an interesting name associated with the Oakland Middle job today. Very interesting. I don't wanna say in case person didn't know what they were talking about, but if it happens--you kinda heard it here first! ha

Yes they did. But, they should be favorites in the district next year.

All the teams rosters are on the website at www.eiffeltowershootout.com along with team pictures, coaching info, and key player info. Should be a fun day of basketball in Paris, TN.

Who has the better team IN Jackson? Northside or Cent. Merry?

Correction: Henry Co. in Wilkins era: 06-07 Lost last 6 games, one to Springfield (who's only loss in their last 9 games was to eventual State Runner-UP Clarksville) one to Clarksville (went UN Beaten in the district that year) and the other four games they lost were all by 3 points or less...2 on last second shots! TWO! Not an excuse...just stating the fact. 2007-2008 Lost 1 of their last 4 to Rossview, by 9. Lost 3 games BEFORE the last four to Rossview, Clarksville and Springfield (they split with Rossview and Springfield on the year) 2008-2009 Won 13 of their last 16 games...losses to Clarksville NE (by 9 at their place after beating them at HC) Then lost to Springfield at Springfield because they fell apart...no excuses...well unless you count the fact that their starting point guard did not play because of discipline issues. A definite factor considering Springfield started pressing and HC had no one else with any poise that night. And then definitely should have won against Wilson Cent., despite being on the road 2.5 hours and being the first game in a week for pg. Still should have won. So really--after doing a little research and recalling myself, the picture you were painting wasn't exactly accurate...however I do believe Wilkins would say he has been disappointed in previous finishes...as any coach would be.

Congrats to Coach Moore and IHS's new start. They got a good one when they got him!

Man I guess the Henry Co. program is at an ALL-TIME high if going 25-6 and then getting upset in the Regions is underachieving. I agree that they should have gone farther. I think they were the best team in their district--better than NE last year---or they at least could have beaten them (they did split with them), but they didn't underachieve for the whole year. That is just a dumb statement. And Patriot04 will you please stop trying to comment on players playing or not playing...everyone else on this board has more insight than you do. And just FYI, all of them are playing, Jelks, Sims, Skylar, etc. Although not all healthy at the moment. JYD great post! Chaos keep em coming! Primetime--you are not bad--definitely not going to take what you say for Granite! Patriot04--just please be quiet for a while...gettin on my nerves! Eaglepride00...well everyone else already told you. "Tis better to remain quiet, and have people think you a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt!"

Anyone from Missouri--that knows anything about Missouri HS basketball, knows about Morely , MO and Scott County Central--one of the best programs of all time in Missouri. The best game of the day in my opinion will be The North Pulaski vs. Raleigh Egypt. However, I think every game is intriguing enough--hard to really tell. HC will have their hands full for sure. Northside will get all they want from SCC, and I am sure the last game of the night will be an interesting one as well. Can't wait!

What is it? The Eiffel Tower Shootout is a 1 Day Showcase of a few of the BEST HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS IN TENN vs. BEST HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS IN THE COUNTRY. Just take a look at the lineup for the FIRST YEAR! 1:00 p.m. Central Merry (Jackson, Tenn.) vs. McClure (St. Louis, Mo.) 2:30 p.m. Raliegh Egypt (Memphis, Tenn.) vs. North Pulaski (Jacksonville, Ark.) 4:00 p.m. North Side (Jackson, Tenn.) vs. Scott County Central (Morely, Mo.) 5:30 p.m. Henry County (Paris, Tenn.) vs. Paducah Tilghman (Paducah, Ky.) 7:00 p.m. Howard School of Academics & Tech (Chattanooga, Tenn.) vs. John Marshall Metro (Chicago, Ill.) Check out http://www.eiffeltowershootout.com to find out more information. If you are just a fan of high school basketball, this will be an event worth going to.

It doesn't really matter about the bottom spots anyways... The point of 10-AAA this year is that the top three are clearly on another level above the rest. Springfield, HC, and NE in whatever order you want... THEN...you have to remember ...Beech is still better than any of them.
