I believe the coach is doing fine. no knock on previous coaches but it's sort of a change when you had a coach doing things a certain way through the years and  Coach Bibb comes in and tries to change stuff that he's trying to implement. I believe he, Hess, and Tucker work well together. Also, it's got to be a change for him when you go from coaching boys  and then you go to coaching  girls.                       as far as red boiling springs go I think they are coached  very well and they seem to have  our number right now. With that being said I believe if we can control tempo and not let Fleming and Davis get open looks then we'll be fine.                           What do you think Ice? Let's talk Macon vs Celina. I think Macon by 15 or more if they stay out of foul trouble...

Jmo Pickett prob more talent. I think York. They will miss Agee big time and if Smith gets the ball. Both should b good games. We got RBS tonight

Allyssa just got cleared to have contact from her injury. I want to thank my 8 aa  friends and all  who have called and kept her in your prayers . It will be a time till she can go hard but it's been a blessing to me and her mom knowing it's just not about a game we love talking about on this site. God bless you all. Let's play.....

Everything would have to go perfect for them to get 4th. . I think the coach will be fine.

Finishing out the seasonI believe Macon is no doubt 1, Baxter or York will be 2 or 3. Smith,DeKalb, or Cannon as 4

I know someone,if she's healthy, can guard all of them. Look Gregory is an awesome player just like Carter, Smith, and Johnson. We ,as parents, ought to enjoy watching these young ladies- athletes play. They are plenty more in our district that can absolutely play. I don't think that the person that was talking about these girls was singling out any just because they play for a certain travel team. I see as much ball and been around it as much as he has 

Macon  easily #1. They got Carter, Gregory,Shoulders and a very good cast around them. They are thin on the Bench. Coach White does a fine job.

Baxter. You got Brooks,Hurst and Shrum plus Maynard and those freshman. Everyone knows Dana can coach.

York should with Harli Smith and Hailey Johnson and Hanna Kananser , I got that spelling so wrong. They should but if you watch as much as I do you know there problem

#4-8 toss up

Livingston has Rodgers and I can't think of the post girls. Some coming back from surgery. Plus they got a heck of a coach.

DeKalb Calwell, Ruch I think I spelled it correctly and some good freshman. Like coach Fish

Cannon  Knox,and #3 sissom. Will miss Scott. 

Watertown. New coach and had a couple Sr girls not to come out. Allison can play.Watched them couple times.  Paige Sevier has them working hard.

Smith  It could be sad singing for a while. I believe coach Bibb will do a good job. 6 seniors 2 sophomores and two freshmen will see the Lion's Share of playing time. West,Shoulders,Hopper will be counted on To lead team. West, Angel sophomore's. Enoch and vining are freshman andcould be very good. I know this team better than any I guess that's why I wrote so much. LOL

Praying for an injury-free season 2 all these young ladies

I don't think it's betrayal by friends. 

It doesn't have nothing to do with players coming from a players parents.  Internal stuff

I have to agree girls basketball is well and strong in 8 aa.  we have Baxter and Macon County they both made the state tournament Baxter of course won . I. think basketball is pretty good here and it is sure fun to watch unless you're on the short end of the stick lol

Pics and somewhat comments on team. Please correct me if I'm wrong with the names.

Macon---- not taking a thing from coach McWilliams but I think they have more depth this year and has good size. Carter, Bullington, and rest of gang could make lots of noise. They also have an incoming freshman that's not too bad either.

Baxter -- I really see this as a two-man race in the making but when you have Levy and the rest of that bunch, plus coach McWilliams coaching that team they're bound to be pretty good. I heard only nine players on the roster so that could hurt or help them down the line.

Cannon and DeKalb. ------they were very young last year and will be very young this year but a years experience is going to help both of those teams. 

Livingston and York. I have a great deal of respect for Coach riddle and how she gets those girls ready to play. If I'm not mistaken they lost all their starters so it will be an uphill climb this year York has got the Smith girl and she is a game changer and a bunch of those kids played a lot of minutes last year.

Smith and Watertown-----I know more about Smith and less about Watertown than any team I put on here .1. My kids play for Smith County and 2.Watertown is coming into our district for the first time. Coach Price will do a good job of getting those kids ready I really like the way he coaches. Coach Moore has his work cut out for him for the fact that you lose five seniors and four starters and very little experience coming back so the first of the year is going to be sad singing and slow walking for the Lady owl's. Good luck to all teams and hope and pray that it's an injury-free season. God bless

I literally have no clue about CM. I think UHS is clearly the best team in the district, but will be surprised if they get through the district without an upset loss. I would not be surprised to see LA knock them off in the tourney at least once. LA has some kids that can definitely play and can score, but will have to see how they replace Lamb. I think UHS has a harder time replacing Medley, Eldridge and Farris than they think they will have. Smith County returns the majority and I suspect they may beat LA at least once, but not sure they have the horses to run with UHS. Not sure about CM. Macon will be in the running for 4th if Magnet doesn't have a solid group. Macon will be younnnggggg though, playing mostly freshman I suppose. York institute has two of the better players in this district, but it's a mess up there and I could see them finishing bottom of the district before it is all said and done (even with a couple of the better players in the district). I know nothing about Cannon county, so they could be better than I have them picked. Dekalb has the potential to move up the list, but it will depend on how they adapt to their third coach in the last six months. They are mostly young as well, so I can see them getting better as the year goes on if they adapt well to the new coach. Good luck to all the 8AA teams this year. 

I believe you have picked the way I would have except CM. I believe they lost all there starters from last years team. York is a mess. Macon has 3 seniors and a load of talented freshman was what I was told. I saw a couple of Cannon girls play this summer and they will be middle of the pack. DeKalb .... Don't even know the coach I know Coach Agee has done a good job at the middle school . I figure middle of pack or lower... Smith has 5 seniors and all started but 1. Could end up second but hogeye is a thorn.  Livingston always slow at the start and gains the big mo during tournament time... Uhs . I can say Dana has done a good, no great job with her aau girls..... Levy is one of if not the best I have seen in a long time. Looking forward to a fun season. Hope everyone has a great time and injury free.

Good post. I am a lot like you. No way would I ever ref an AAU game.

I wouldn't ref one either but if you out there refereeing and getting paid to do it at least get up and down the court .    I get caught up in it myself but have gotten better. I have been to some this summer where the refs looked to be about 15-16 years old . I wish there was a way of instructing these younger kids.

That's a good question. I wouldn't put to much stock in us bringing a big crowd.

How well does Smith County WBB Travel? Since we are at end of season, do not want to overstock, but want to make sure we have plenty in concession stand. Thank you. .

We got to see Morristown West up close. They are very good.

Most teams in the district has benefited from transfers whether its single a or double and triple a. Both coach Brown and coach Rodgers are excellent coaches . Lets stay on point that if any player like coe or leonard wanted to go to any program coaches would welcome them with open arms. Good luck to the kids on a great season.

What y'all think about Tuesdays games? Here's my picks,which is probably wrong:

Cannon vs Macon : I'll say cannon by 6

York vs Upperman: upperman by 12

Smith vs Central : Smith by 4

DeKalb vs Livingston: Livingston by 10

Saw some of our district teams Saturday this is my take of who I saw: York is going to be very good as the season goes on. Their point guard can get it done. A side note York brought a huge crowd.

Cannon isn't the cannon teams you've seen in the past. They play hard and that will win some games

Smith is young and just like Cannon and York have a new coach. Shot well at times.

Who else saw some games? Its bball time!

I'll be the first to tell you I know 0 when it comes to soccer. My daughter plays for coach Dunbar and coach Smith and I think they have done a great job. They lost a district MVP and won our division. That tells me they are doing something right. My child loves playing for our coaches and believe me its been a joy to watch those young ladies.

Upper man I agree 100% but I don't think Macon in any shape or form will get 2nd. I would go Livingston , Cannon , and the rest. I saw many of these teams at camp, and I know its just camp but no one stood out that I saw. We will know by Christmas.

I was there and they waived the timeout off because of Coach McWilliams. The smith county girls played their hearts out. Class act by Upperman.

No...they played in regular season game last week.

They beat York, Pickett, and Allons in a tournament a couple weeks back. That doesn't mean they will be "stars" but have a  decent grade school team.

Was that correct score on York- Central? If so big upset!
