She could go to any college she wanted to play

Douglass will be hard to beat

The rumors have flown around for the past two years. They did take one coaching job in middle TN last summer just to change their mind once housing etc. fell through there. I mean it would be nice if she played alongside her cousin Sims at Westview for her senior year next season! However, USJ loses only one senior off the state championship team this year so I'm sure their future as a program is promising as well. Haylen and Teague are both freshman and were their leading scorers this season so guess we will see

How impressive to get Miss Basketball her freshman year! This girl can flat out ball and will be interesting to see her play the next three years!!

I agree...they are the real deal! However, a little skeptical because not sure of their strength of schedule but yes I agree

Not downplaying her at all, but Sims led that team this year with the point guard out. Alexander could have 5 points and Westview still win. If Sims had less than 10 points, then they struggled. Alexander was more of a spot shooter and drove it occasionally. Sims was their leading scorer so I'm not sure you can say that Alexander was their best player. They will definitely miss her sharp shooting next year though and will need someone to fill it

I think Gibson Co will miss Micah more than they realize both offensively and defensively. They will also really miss Turner. I'm not sure any from the Jr. High will be ready to contribute any next year except maybe Hart (I feel like her sisters were a little more aggressive/advanced that she is at this point). The game I saw them play against Martin this year at Martin, Martin won by 20+ and that was because subs were put in or it would have been uglier. Maybe they have improved though. Huntingdon will still be good but I think they will really miss Kee and Singleton as well. Westview getting the point guard back and only losing Alexander from state I think will still be good if not even better than this year.

Yes you’re right. I meant to have them in the list as well with them also being in state tournament

I agree. No one expected it but with Sims and Alexander returning and then throwing others in the mix around them, they were able to pull it off with injuries thrown in there as well. Their only losses were to Gibson Co, South Gibson, Huntingdon, and Loretto who were all in the state tournament and two of them in the championship with one winning it. Next year they will have Sims back and then the freshman point guard who is the real deal and then put a more experienced Trevathan, Evans, and Rogers around them with some other potential contributors coming back and coming up from a strong feeder middle school and they will be tough!

Massengale

Westview lost to Loretto by 5 points without their starting point guard. She doesn’t get hurt and one could argue that those results would have been different

Since when does a player on a team that doesn’t get past the first round get put on all tournament team? A player with 26 points but 8 turnovers? You had others with 23 points and 22 points and 24 points that only had 1-2 turnovers and 8-9 rebounds that didn’t make it past the first round either.

They have been the favorite the past three years but Westview and Gibson Co have knocked them out each year. Maybe next year will be their year

She’s a freshman and the coach’s granddaughter. She didn’t shoot great the first two games of the tournament but looked a lot more relaxed tonight in the championship!

I figured it would be a battle…way to bring it home to West TN Dyersburg!! Only losing one senior that plays, they will be back for sure for many years to come!
