I have said this on several occassions, Marshall County is not a good team....they play in a weak district. They do not have any top notch victories this year....they dont play in any good tournaments....The coach does not prepare them for tournament time.....and for those reasons they will remain a below average team, with a stud player in Kedren Johnson. Kedren gets most of his attention on the AAU circuit, not because he plays for Marshall County. Having said all that....I haved not seen CW play, but I hear they have a pretty good team. Marshall County's biggest break will come if they make it to substate...they dont have to play anyone from the west this year.....because of re-alignment....their substate will be their former region opponets.... David Lipscomb, CPA, MLK etc.

CPA and David Lipscomb are out. Maplewood is the team that will eliminate one of these teams in the substate. The Greenbrier vs. MLK game is toss up. Maplewoood is probably the only mid-state team that may be able to compete with the west TN teams.

Is that why teams like David Lipscomb always make the state tournament because they have great athletes?

Congratulations to Greenbrier. I'm not surprised they won their district. They have a lot of talent. Bradshaw may be the best sophomore in the state. I saw them handle Harpeth easily in the Overton Tourney. Not sure why they have lost as many games as they have, but they seem to be playing well as of late.

BUT Mapelwood, MLK, CPA and Hume Fogg will not be "gravy".

I hope your right about Harpeth pulling the upset, but it will be tough. I still think Creekwood is strong enough to win the region even with Marshall Co. in their bracket.

I bet Sycamore wishes they were still in our district. Heck, I even wish they were. They were eliminated in the first round by Greenbrier in 9-AA. That is the first time they have not made the regional tournament since becoming a high school. They probably would have been a 2 seed maybe even a 1 seed in 11-AA.

I do hope the four teams will represent 11-AA well in the region. Creekwood is solid enough to win it. Harpeth may pull off an upset or two.

Why is there not a basketball scoreboard link on the basketball forum?

Are you serious with that argument? What is your definition of a bad team? To me, a team that doesn't execute on offense, talk on defense, take care of the ball and take good shots, while giving up layups and uncontested 3's is a bad team. Am I missing something? Good teams shoot a high percentage, force teams into bad shots and turnovers on defense. I am pretty sure niether team has a D1 prospect on their roster as they have in the past but that doesn't mean they can't be a quality team. [/quote

 

Reading most of posts on coacht; it’s apparent you are a little arrogant and probably young. Or you just like to put down high school players and their respective teams.

 

According to a post on another thread you said you were a teacher and coach. May I ask what team you coach? Maybe we can all take some jabs at your team.

 

Harpeth will get a “W” tonight. Look for them to be in the thick of things by the end of the year.

@ Harpeth tomorrow nite, according to the tennessean. They will likely kill them. I think Harpeth is still winless.

Harpeth has played a tough early season schedule. They are a young team, but have some talent. Give them some time. They will be hard to handle by mid to late season.

Are the Greenbrier guards sophomores? I know about Bradshaw, but what about the other 2? Is the the tall red headed sophomore (name?) playing this year? I saw where Greenbrier lost a close game to East Lit this week after leading at halftime. What happened in this game?

Cheatham County rolls into Greenbrier Tuesday night. Will this game be worth the trip?

Score?????????????????

Congrats LA-Well deserved

And insulting the coach with name calling certainly has great value! do you feel better now?

 

I wish Pete had left the starters in and whipped you by a 100 points.

 

He emptied his bench for goodness sake. give it a rest.

Actually, I do feel better. Sometimes the truth hurts. Sorry, I can't help it your coach resembles Gary Coleman pacing up and down the side line.

Let's see? You would have liked for Pete (first name basis) to have won by 100 points in a high school basketball game? Are you kin folk? Or are you just one of those "win at all cost" coaches in the stands.

Whatever happened to sportsmanship, class and humility in high school sports?

This situation is a direct reflection of the Sycamore head coach. He has "little man" syndrome. And he is not young either. He has been around the state in high school basketball. He doesn't stay long where ever he ends up because nobody likes him. This game was just a small example of why.

Sycamore has a good basketball team. They didn't have to win by 50 and still press to prove that to anyone. That was just their coach being himself. Maybe it will look good on his resume.
