Bradford has 6 gold balls - 1982, 1993, 1996, 1997, 1998, and 2000. They also have 2 silver balls - 1991 and 1995 Gleason has at least 3 that I remember - 1992, 1999, and 2007. I think they have one more, but not sure. I know they have at least one silver ball - 1993

I laughed out loud when I read this. I've seen McMinn Central play three games in the state, and felt they got "hosed" in all three games. And now to read this from you, makes me wonder if all teams' fans feel that way. It wasn't the refs that beat Westview today.....it was the disciplne, determination, and desire of the Chargerettes. That's funny that you have seen them play 3 games in the state since they have only played 2. lol

I have been busy today. Last night was very disappointing. Gleason is a very disciplined team. They play their style no matter what, and they play it well. Our girls had a great season that fell short of what we thought was possible. We will move on and be back next year. Good luck to the region 7 teams.

Greenfield won 65-42

Bradford does appear to be that team again. I made that comment the other night. I agree with you about them beating Gleason. I also agree that they are capable of beating Greenfield, but I don't think it will happen. My reasoning is simple. First, Bradford has returned to where they were, but Greenfield has steadily improved. Second, I believe that early in the year, Bradford was in Greenfield's head. When Greenfield realized that they were actually a better team, they took over at Bradford. So, while I agree that Bradford is that team from early on and are capable of the win, I think Greenfield will win that game.

I hope you are right. I would hate to see the championship on a Wed. night. A youth pastor friend of mine said that it did happen the last time Gleason won state. I am thinking that was '07.

West..Are you sure about Thursday night?Unless I looked at the brackets wrong ,it shows the games to be played the 26 which is Friday.. During the finals of the district tourney they announced that the 1st round games would be on Thurs.

I agree that Lake Co's speed on defense did affect us, but it in my opinion it was the outside shooting that won the game. If your 2 girls aren't hot like they were, the speed would not have been as noticeable plus if they weren't hitting then you guys would not have been able to set up the press so much. I am not trying to downplay the speed, but it does not catch us off guard. I am not sure if Humboldt is as quick as you guys are but they are pretty quick and we have seen them and you guys a total of 6 times. So we have an idea about the speed. I don't this for a fact, but I would believe that your shooting pct was higher last night than any other time we have faced you guys.

I'd have to say it was a big deal...Greenfield now gets a possible do-or-die region semi game against Gleason... The reason I don't think it was a big deal is: 1. I think that Lake Co. and Greenfield are the two best teams in the region and therefore I like their chances of meeting again, and 2. I don't think Gleason will beat Bradford. As a matter of fact, I think Greenfield would handle Gleason better than Bradford.

I give plenty of teams credit. Molly did have a slump and still finished the year averaging 19 points a game. The fact that I pull for Greenfield and said Molly was the best player in the district should prove that I am not a homer. Sure I am a bit biased towards Greenfield as is any fan. Also, I don't really care who you think is more knowledgeable since it is all opinion anyway. Greenfield did hold Molly to 5 points in the last game we played and T.T. also scored about 10 or 12 against us last night. I also don't think it was Lake co's speed that beat us. They beat us because Mathews and I think Pearce were on fire outside. but just like me, you are entitled to your opinion. I don't really see how my comment on Humboldt factors into this discussion. I was replying to someone who said that Humboldt would be dangerous in the tournament. Humboldt is a good team, but they are not a dangerous team. You cant compare Humboldt to Lake Co. It is not even close.

Congrats to Lake Co. You guys played a great game. The refs did not call a bad game, but they did let them play a physical style and that plays into Lake Co's hand. Greenfield missed some wide open shots early. Also, I thought that Greenfield did a good job on T.T. I think she only had about 10 points or so. Greenfield just got beat tonight. Lady Jackets, don't hold your heads down. That game was for bragging rights only. The 1 or 2 seed is not that big of a deal. Hopefully we will meet Lake Co again.

If it were a tourney MVP, I would say that Jordan is leading right now. However it is not. It is for the season. It is a two person race. Molly and T.T. I am with Bigster. I am not getting into it, but "we all know who should win it." lol I want the team trophy too Greenfieldfan. Let's go Lady Jackets. I am heading out now.

There is not 1 team left on Middleton's schedule that will beat them..! As a matter of fact..they look to have a great chance of making it to State..I dont see anyone in the region that will beat them either so it looks like Gleason,Greenfield,Lake Co or maybe Bradford,etc will be coming to Middleton..That may be a tough chore at Middleton but at least Middleton will have 1 tough test..Lake Co has played on the road in a tournament in Kentucky and in small gyms like Bradford so hopefully that wont be a factor..Same as Greenfield ..everyone back and will have played in some tough places like Lake Co.,Greenfield and Bradford..etc.! middleton has had plenty of tough tests this season. first off against humboldt, where they pulled off a 3 point win against a very dangerous viking team....everyone talks about gleason, greenfield, etc....people better not sleep on humboldt. could pose a huge prob in the tourneys. middleton has also beaten a very good lexington team, who imo has quite a bit of talent. theyve beaten mcnairy at mcnairy and hardin co as well, so dont underrate middleton's schedule. and as for beating scotts hill by 35, dont underestimate scotts hill either; they are very talented and are very big for a single A school. their record speaks for itself and beating them will be as equally difficult as beating middleton, if both teams were to get in the substate round. Well, Humboldt was not too dangerous in the district tourney. An 18 point loss to Greenfield.

Yeah I caught where you said that about comparing scores. You said it right after you started comparing scores. lol I am just busting your chops Bigster. Surely you have figured me out by now.

Thanks. At least somebody caught that. You just can't call a lake co. loss I guess. lol

I can't blame you being from Greenfield..And Greenfield does have a very good team..Humboldt played without Hubbard for 3 quarters.That's like Lake Co playing without T.T. for 3 quarters.And Humboldt isn't Lake Co..Lake Co has beaten Humboldt twice by 19 and 16 points.I told a friend of mine when Greenfield was down by 8 in the first quarter that Greenfield would win by at least 8 points.As for having the edge..I don't see where you are coming from with that though.Yes..Greenfield played well last night..But Greenfield has had some close games lately against Humboldt and Trenton in previous games..And just a week ago Lake Co beat Bradford by 20..just a couple nights after Greenfield had a closer game with Bradford.And by other scores against the same teams..Lake Co has clearly won by more points..So just because of 1 close game last night..I believe it's only the 2nd single digit game since Christmas..I'm sure Greenfield has had a few since Christmas.I wouldn't let that get me thinking that Greenfield has the edge.Lake Co jst beat Trenton in that same gym about 2 weeks ago by 31 points.I do know Abbot was sick last night although she played better than some others.One thing for certain is both teams know each other..Lake Co knows Katie McCall and Jordan are the two go to girls.They know who the ball handlers are and who probably isn't going to shoot outside..Same the other way..I'm expecting a good game.Going with Lake Co by about 8 ..But I could be wrong.!I just think Lake Co is quicker than most teams and Katie and Jordan will have a tougher time getting the shots they want..Jordan may get hers inside but I look for Katie to struggle getting the shot she wants.! You gotta let go of comparing scores. We play a completely different style then Lake co. We are not a team that cares or even tries to win by 30. Those comparisons don't work and you know it. We are two even teams, and being from Greenfield I give us the edge. I even said I am biased. Katie and Jordan are definitely our go to girls, but we have quite a few options, and for the record I will be stunned if you guys win by 8. You beat us by 6 on your court, and you threw everything you had at us. It will be a very close game. Greenfield by 5. By the way, if the refs call the game the way you indicated in another post that you want them to call it, that favors Greenfield. In a tight called game T.T. will get called for 3 charges so Lake Co. needs the refs to keep the whistles in their pocket.

The scary thing is that Greenfield completely dominated and when they look at the film they will find some things to improve on. Greenfield is playing extremely well right now. I know that I am biased, but I give the edge to Greenfield tomorrow night. Good luck girls and let's raise a 14a championship plaque tomorrow night.

I just had a feeling about Bradford..Thought they would come to play..Greenfield and Lake Co both had better come to play or they'll be playing for 3rd and 4th place..I remember Lake Co beating Gleason a couple times in the region and sent them home...At least a loss isn't the end of the road for any one of these 4 teams the next game..So that helps a little..Congrats to all 4 teams..! these are the teams I think most everyone picked before the season. It is going to get interesting now.

Greenfield wins over South Fulton and Bradford beats Trenton

That is a good list. Of course I have flip 1 and 2. I think Humboldt is 3, and Peabody has a very good chance at being the #4. When the season started, I would have said Bradford #3, but something happened to them in December and they have not been the same team since.

I agree with you, but in my opinion this Gleason team would get run off the court by those other Gleason teams. I think this team is talented. There is no doubt about that. None of this matters because they will play it out, but I think Gleason would be the 3rd place team in 14A this year. That is just my opinion, for what it's worth.

Their #4 ranking is probably high, but it is really not that big of a deal. If they are as good as their ranking says then they will prove it in the regional tourney. If they are not, then they wont. In my opinion, I do not think they will make it out of the region, but even that does not mean they are not worthy of a top 10 ranking as 14A is pretty tough and they will be playing them. If the districts go like the regular season then it looks like Gleason would play Humboldt/Bradford but also possible that they would play Trenton. Any of those would be a tough 1st round game, and it only gets harder from there.

I hate that. I was going to go to this game, but can't now. Greenfield has a game.

Cannon played before there was a 3 point line in high school. Greenfield played a very good game and shot the ball extremely well. Congratulations. The game didn't mean anything to either team, neither will change their positions in the district. That is not entirely you true, That win gives Greenfield 2 district wins. If they had lost that game and lost to South Fulton, they might have been 8th. The win means that will definitely finish 7th. I know that may not mean much but hey it is what it is
