Apparently. The Weakley County Press quoted Chuck West as saying they were having an administrative meeting sometime today to set new dates and times for the 13A bracket.

Hi Vic,

BSFan posted on the rescheduling thread:

Friday - Bruceton at Big Sandy

Saturday - Big Sandy at West Carroll

Monday - Clarksburg at Big Sandy

Hope that helps.

This thread can go in several different directions, but my vote for "best basketball gym" in the Mid-State is still Shelbyville Central. It was voted as one of the nation's top ten high school basketball venues by USA Today in 2004. For me - hard to top the days of "Rick's Grill," 110 straight wins and four consecutive state titles.

My picks:

1) Lake Co.

2) Greenfield

3) Humboldt

4) Peabody

Pretty confident these will be the top four. The championship and consolation games should be quite close, though. 14A will put three in the regional semifinals. Humboldt or Peabody would be a tough draw for Gleason.

Middleton/Madison Academic is postponed until next Monday, 2/15. Most schools in West Tennessee remain closed tomorrow due to the remaining ice and snow on the roads.

Thanks again to Matt Borenstein at JacksonSun.com.

CoachT, could you add WTKB (victory937.com) to the audio link list? They broadcast Gibson Co., Milan, Peabody, Bradford, South Gibson and Humboldt basketball games. I'll add the link for each individual game.

That's one of the drawbacks to seeding, as you might get an less-competitive first round game. Humboldt beat Gibson Co. in a close game (70-65) back in November. But the Vikings got an impressive 12-point win at home against Union City last night. That possible Humboldt/Dyer Co. game sounds like a really good one. Then, of course, Bolivar looks to roll to the championship game.

Here are the superlatives. Have not seen the complete team list.

Most Valuable Player: Jobronski Gilbert, Milan

Offensive POY: Patrick Haskins, Obion Central

Defensive POY: Avery Williamson, Milan

Best Offensive Lineman: Matthew Spraggins, Crockett Co.

Best Defensive Lineman: Brandon Blackwell, Ripley

Best Kicker: Jose Dimas, Crockett Co.

Best Punter: Rick Moody, Milan

Best Specialist: Jordan Brasher, Milan

Coach of the Year: Jeff Morris, Milan

BTW does anyone have a good radio station that will be streamed online for this game? The one that the Milan page usually displays will never load over here, and I'm too far away for any kind of listening to a radio. Thanks!

The Milan station website is victory937.com. Only the sports programming is streamed, so the feed will begin at 2pm. If that still doesn't work, live audio for all the games will be provided by the Tennessee High School Sports Network at TSSAA.org.

BulldawgGirl - just so we're clear, your boys and my boys are the same. No clarifications needed on the other fans. I've been reading this site since you and I were both at MHS. Go Bulldogs.

I might only be one of few Milan fans that think Alcoa beating Maryville this year says

alot about just how good this tornado team is. We might not want to admit it,

but we Milan fans know it will take one heck of a game plan, Alcoa turning over

the ball a few times, and the Bulldawgs playing flawless football to win. If Milan

was to win, I think it would be one of the biggest upsets in high school football

in the state of TN in a long time. What are some upsets that come to mind,

please post teams and scores if you can remember. Thanks

Most of you guys are just on here for kicks and giggles, but this post is the best and most sensible by a Milan fan this season. Maryville has probably improved a lot since August, as they were a fairly young team this year, but I saw them put up more than 400 yards of total offense on Riverdale last week. (By the way, Riverdale has one of the best defenses in D-I.) To think that Alcoa did the same thing to the Red Rebels shows that Coach Rankin's team is very strong.

Alcoa fans can expect to see Milan's best game. Whether that means the Tornadoes still win or the Bulldogs pull the upset, we won't know until Friday. But as a fan, that's all you can ask of your team. Best of luck to Coach Morris and the guys as they practice this week - looking forward to seeing you back in the championship.

Congratulations to both programs on returning to the state championship! Most fans had predicted this rematch, but hats off to Alcoa and Milan for getting it done on the field.

These stats won't determine a winner or loser. For what they are worth, though, here are some numbers of interest:

Milan averages 129 passing yards per game. Alcoa gives up about 90.

Alcoa averages 37.4 PPG. Milan gives up 10.0 PPG.

Milan averages 39.2 PPG. Alcoa gives up 8.1 PPG.
