And they have 1 more game with Us on Friday. I checked on it and the winner of tonight's game will be number one based on Wartburg's sweep of O.S.

If Wartburg wins they would tie Oneida. But they beat O.S. 2 times and they would have the tie breaker I believe. So whichever team wins tonight is 1 in the district.

I think that Oakdale is in big trouble as well. They were the 5 seed coming in to the tournament so I think they have played well to just be in the region. Midway by 15 but could be 40 if they wanted it to be. Wartburg - really hit their stride in the second half of the season but 2 torn ACL's one of which was a very solid scorer and the other was an excellent rebounder and defender really hurt them before tournaments. I felt like they would be 3rd out of the tournament and ended up in the finals. both teams have overachieved. Meigs by 15-20 after the 5 starters from Wartburg wear down with no bench. It'll be close before then. Oneida - Will beat Grace tonight 6-10 points. Grace may be physically a little better but Oneida is really hot right now. Coalfield - will lose by 20 plus to Harriman. Harriman is just too big inside and Monkhouse will be the one that puts them over vs. Coalfield.

It was a Ho hum game with Us and Wartburg last night. Wartburg won by 8 I think but it was 15 or better at the middle of the 4th quarter. I've got to say the Lady Dogs defense was bad in the first half and we took advantage of them. Had em by 5 at the half, but that's why you play 4 quarters instead of 2. Lots of talk on here about O.S. and their struggles, I think Wartburg and O.S. are 2 that nobody would want to play in the first round of the district. 2 teams that have high expectations despite having tough seasons. Looking forward to the tournament. Oakdale girls have good talent but have yet to gel. I think our best games are ahead of us also. It's just a down year for 4A

Just something to think about as the season goes on. Coalfield's schedule is a bit off also I think.

Here is something interesting about 4A so far Strength of Schedule so far according to CoachT Wartburg 12th O.S. 14th Jellico 29th Oakdale 70th Oneida 78th Sun 80th Coalfield 107th It won't show up now but I bet teams with tougher schedules will perform the best come tournament time.

As I see it the Oneida game tonight should go in Oneida's direction. My friend's daughter plays at Wartburg and she said their first 5 is as good as any but they have no bench at all. They were up by 16 the other night against Harriman and 14 with Kingston but as soon as foul trouble came in to play and Poland and Melton came to the bench those leads didn't last too long. I also understand they led most of the game with North Academy. You could argue that with a little bench play they would be 4-0 right now. But they haven't got that and they are 1-3 If Wartburg was deeper I would have them as my clear number 1 team but as it is now I feel like they are 3rd. Oneida 60 Wartburg 51 tonight Oneida - deep and solid throughout Coalfield - 4 returning starters Wartburg - Good first 5 with no bench Oliver Springs - extremely well coached These will be the four that make it to R2A

I'm always ranking teams so here is my first thought about 4A 1. Oneida - deepest team, can play with anyone. 2. O.S.- most aggressive team and really tough schedule. Multiple defenses and sound all around. 3. Wartburg - in a familiar spot solid on offense and defense not flashy but they never are this time of year. 4. Coalfield - strong team defense and tough kids 3A 1.meigs 2.GCA 3. Tellico 4. Rockwood

Hmm...

Kaz was a little off. Looks like Wartburg had at least a couple of good players. Wow! is all I can say.

I think that oneida will win tuesday with wartburg but I don't think you will be able to read much into it. This appears to be a classic rebuilding situation in wartburg. I saw them early and they have already improved 100 percent from there. I think the game tuesday will be 45-38 Oneida but you will see that wartburg has the talent to really challenge at the end. One thing the Lady Dogs don't seem to have any bench and that has to be fixed. The Snows look like number 3 to me right now. Again it's not christmas just yet

Wartburg is one of 8 best! Where is NG again?

Where are you guys now? Looks like Wartburg is one of the best 2 teams in the Region!

I want my farm now! I'm from oakdale, but support all morgan county teams. Who's North Greene playing at the boro?

I think Wartburg is a really well coached team and they have won close games. The problem I see coming up is that the post from Tellico will dominate the wartburg post players. They looked really soft tonight against us and didn't seem to want to be out there. I have seen it from 24 all year and can say confidently that big girl from Tellico has got to be really excited to play this team. They got very lucky tonight but you have got to respect a team that goes 20-4
