I did not get to watch a lot of the Single A games, but I was just curious as to why Kayla Christopher did not receive an All-Tournament award....I know she was a Miss Basketball finalist, so obviously she has had a great season....Did she just not play well in the tournament? I don't mean to take away from her teammates that did receive All-Tournament honors, but I just wondered what the opinions were as to why Christopher did not as well???????

Congrats from District 10AA, you are so deserving of the award....so sorry you were not playing in the State Tournament, but you will be at MTSU soon enough and I can't wait to watch you play there...Good Luck

Thats okay I was probably being a little bossy lol....I am not from MC or a MC supporter sorry if I sounded like it...I have just seen them play a lot and really respect what they do, but I was basically just curious as to what the thoughts were of the game. I know I am on the wrong thread...lol....but I can't believe Upperman or Central will be going home Saturday night, and will not make it to the boro. I will have to go watch this game...it will be a great one.

You're right about so many thing in your post.....Bagwell is a great player and Hume Fogg did what they had to do to beat Marshall County. Also, great comment about players becoming greater women, that is so true. However, I do have to disagree with one of your assumptions. I guarantee you that Coach West from Marshall County had plenty of film on Hume Fogg. Coach West always has his team prepared and never underestimates any opponent. Coach West even watched film on teams such as Page, Spring Hill, East Hickman, teams that everyone else knew he could beat easily, but he never took anything for granted. I would bet that his team was very prepared for Hume Fogg, however, as coach you can only do so much and when the game begins, you can't go out and play for them or guide them through every move. I bet his girls were very prepared and knew what to expect from Hume Fogg, however, missing free throws, players getting into foul trouble and making silly and unforced turnovers were probably not in Coach West's game plan.

AND....if Upperman, Gibson, or McMinn do not win, it will be because they "got put out" That's the reason we play the tournament ! Their state championship will not be diminished in any shape, form or fashion because Marshall was or was not there. There will not be an asterik on the Gold Ball, I guarantee you. Of course it will not be diminished...if I implied that I apologize....Whoever wins the championship will 100% deserve it, because they played good enough to beat the teams they were put up against to get there and Marshall County did not. They are all great teams and great teams get beat, sometimes great teams have off nights and sometimes the tournament brackets work out in a teams favor...However, championship teams find a way to beat whoever they are put up against in any situation and that was just not Marshall County this year. When I originally posted I was simply wanting to hear more thoughts on the Marshall County game, and a lot of the posts were talking Gibson, Upperman and McMinn. I was not trying to be the "thread police" I just thought that the other thread about who was going to win the championship would be more appropriate. Actually, this is only like the second thread that I even remember being about Marshall County this season, with the exception of a few posts on the championship thread, and I was wanting to hear more thoughts and comments about Marshall County rather than about those other teams, which was also the reason I enjoyed the earlier comment that Marshall being put out would increase Upperman, GC and McMinn's chances. I was glad to finally hear someone giving Marshall County some credit on here. I know they were ranked #1, but as far as the other person's comment about them bragging about a repeat championship, I have really not heard much of that on here, it may have come from somewhere else, but like I said this is only the first or second thread that I even remember being about Marshall County. I may be wrong but I just don't remember. My team is out and has been out for a while, so I look forward to seeing how tonight and Saturday night come. Good luck to all those that lived to play another day!!

Good for you, finally the reply I have been looking for...thank you. I am glad that you said Marshall getting beat improves their chances, because from reading the majority of the posts on the other threads, you would think that Gibson and Upperman were a lock to win state....I am not talking about any of your posts, I have just heard so many people say how great Upperman is and how they are going to win the state, and don't get me wrong Upperman is good, but I just don't know how you can make those statements without even seeing Marshall play. It is just my opinion, but having the opportunity Marshall would beat Upperman. I am aware that Marshall lost, so now we will never know, and now there will be a new state champion. Upperman, Gibson and McMinn are definite favorites on paper, but if they do it will only be because Marshall got put out. I just like to be well informed and see the contenders before I form an opinion about who will win the state and give credit where credit is due. Like I said before Marshall played terrible and Hume Fogg played very well and everything seemed to fall their way, if Marshall would have lost a couple of weeks ago (like last year) it would have lit a fire in them and they would not have been playing so tight and under so much pressure, and we would have seen repeating State Champions!!

NO I don't want you to listen to them whine, I wanted you to go to or start another thread...I just didn't see the relevance of talking about Gibson, McMinn or Upperman on a Marshall County thread when there is already a thread about opinions as to who is going to win state. Also notice that I didn't not blame the loss on the officials...I said the officials were bad both ways, but that MC played terrible. Turnovers, missed free throws and not getting the ball to March is what lost the game, not too mention Hume Fogg played really well and #32 was a great player.

First of all I thought this was a Marshall County/Hume Fogg thread.....Why are we talking about McMinn, Gibson and Upperman? There is a thread on here about who is going to win state....go on there or form your own thread... Now, lets get back to topic........I was merely an unbiased spectator last night and yes, Marshall County did play terrible, however, that was not a reflection of the type of team they have had all year...I would have bet the farm that Marshall County would win state, but as previously stated they played "not to lose" and Hume Fogg played really well. It would have been better for Marshall to have lost a couple of weeks ago and get the fire back in them, instead they were playing tight and under a lot of pressure. On another note, the officials were terrible, both ways all night, but that did not determine the outcome of either game. The Lewis County and CPA game was not officiated any better, however, CPA is a great ball club and deserved the win. It seemed as if one official was trying to take over and make all the calls. I agree that the officials were bad, but yes it is funny to hear MC complain about the referees...Lets give them their chance to complain since they have not had the opportunity to all year, lol.

In Hickman County the AD rarely gets a say in these matters much less make a final decision, heck sometimes the AD is the last to know when someone is getting hired or fired...lol....Most of the time the parents have the most say in these matters, they complain enough then something will get done....we have a great system

First of all, I was only answering someone's question about Coach Swenson, never did I make any reference to the current situation at East nor will I ever, because I could care less. I was actually joking when i said "no drama in Centerville," if you will notice my "lol," genius. However, since you want to get snippy, I offer the following response: You're exactly right, it is nothing to me, I am out of it, don't want in it, don't want anywhere near the East drama. Furthermore, the thread you are referring to about the bashing of our coach and athletic director (not athlete) was in regards to not letting parents on the field after the football games, and what was so wild about that, was that the majority of the parents that were complaining (all but 1) were parents of the kids that were originally zoned for East...lol..go figure....But anyway, I am not going to make this an East/Centerville issue...so I will let you guys get back to your coach bashing session.

No Coach Swenson was at the Hickman County High School in Centerville....East is the new high school in the county....we don't have all this drama in Centerville....lol

You're right, Jaclyn is an amazing player....She is so athletic and has shown signs of being one of the best female athletes that I have seen at the high school level....It is my understanding that over half of her 1000 points were scored last year (her junior year) alone....Think of what she could have accomplished if she had been under Coach Barrett for all 4 years...Congratulations to you Jaclyn, keep it up and show us each night why you are great!!!!

Do you know the severity of the injury? Is she done for the season?

Is it true that Creekwood's point guard is hurt and didn't play last night?

In all fairness, Waverly and Montgomery Central were the first two games of the season, the Hall of Fame games, and Hickman has much improved since then. Also, Bolivar only beat Waverly by 9 points in the region tournament at Bolivar, who is playing in the Region Championship tonight against Creekwood (who Hickman also played twice during the regular season), and Hickman will face one of the these two teams in the sub-state. I just wanted to make the point that even though Hickman has dropped in classification, their schedule has still been extremely tough, especially their non-district schedule.
