Defensively Oneida is very strong....I'm sure they will throw multiple players at TP's strongest player.  They also can shoot the 3 ball, with any one of several players......I believe they have as many as 9 players with at least one 3 this year.  They are pretty good around the rim too.  They have plenty of excellent players just no superstar....any on of them can get hot.

They may not have a "superstar" and they may not be as good as last years Oneida team. However they do have the district's Co-POY (Thomas) and she has had a heck of a senior season. She has been a rebounding machine this year and can get to the basket pretty well.

Been wandering around trying to figure out how this district is going to settle out.  Since it is nearly the half way point and several of the games have been played, how does anyone see this thing shaking out?  Everyone said Oneida and Coalfield would probably be at the head of the pack....is that still the feeling?  Looks like the Lady Indians have been playing very tough out of conference schedule and some of the losses were brutal.  Then again the opponents were top shelf (McMinn and Clarkrange)  I haven't seen or heard much about Coalfield, but know they had a solid crew returning.  Are they the top team?  Just curious.

I think Oneida is possibly still the best team. However they lack consistency. Its hard to replace a player like Newport and they are struggling to find their way without her.

Sunbright is definitely improved. Yaden would get my vote for COY.

I guess we will have to agree to disagree on the clarkrange win . Any win is a good win I was just saying that was not a" TRUE" clarkrange team, and starting four seniors and a junior don't see how that's not veterans coming back!! Anyway like I said Oneida had better coaching than anyone in district and it showed up bright . Good luck moving forward , hope district four does well but, still I think regionals turns into a second district three tournament !!!!! GOOD LUCK

You said "Oneida just had everybody back." Obviously we did not. So by veterans I was referring to "veteran starters".

I do agree we have the best coaching in the district.

That's what I am saying pound your chest when you beat a Clarkrange team at full strength cause I still believe they were missing players when Oneida beat them . As far as mettle goes Oneida was leaps and bounds above anyone in district four this year to me they did what was expected by winning last night . Prove your mettle days start friday when District three rolls into town If they are still playing on Saturday my outlook will change as of now undeafeated in district play was supposed to happen. Good Luck would like to see district four do well and I mean no disrespect but the air is better when your feet is on the ground.     

I find it amusing you have such a dislike for Oneida. I can give you a Clarkrange parents contact info if that makes you feel better. Kara Meadows was the only player they had out.

I'm sure if we are still playing Saturday you will have an excuse for that too. I agree that 3A is probably stronger. I just don't like your disrespect for our ladies and the rest of 4A.

Just out of curiosity. How did we beat 3-AA champs Union Co?

Having seen both districts play this year , don't believe any team in district 4 can compete with anybody in district 3. Yes Oneida beat a weakened Clarkrange by weakened I mean 3 of the five  starters were not playing in the game all out for some reason and was told Clarkrange finished game with four players on the floor......... NOT AN  IMPRESSIVE WIN . It just looks like all teams with the exception of Oneida was rebuilding this year all teams below Oneida was about equal some really close games across the board Oneida just had everybody back and had better coaching. Will not be that way in the region, anybody who thinks different is running around with their head in the clouds . It really pains me to say it but look for a district 3 sweep in the first round of region.   

I haven't saw any of the 3A teams play this season. So I can't say whether or not we can compete with them. It may be a 3A sweep. I also agree that 4A teams are down this year.

However I don't agree with you about Oneida.

1st - Someone gave you incorrect information about the Clarkrange game. Yes they are rebuilding this season but they were only playing without 1 starter. To be fair, she is a very important starter. Coach Rogers finished the last 20 seconds of the game with 4 players because he chose too. He wasn't very happy about losing and chose to display bad sportsmanship. It may not have been an "impressive win" but it was a good win for Oneida.

2nd - We definitely didn't bring everybody back. Not sure where you got that information but it was wrong. We lost 3 very important senior starters. Jessi Morgan who is now playing at Roane State and had been a starter at Oneida for 4 years. We also lost both our post players. In losing Thompson and Williams we lost our height. The only veteran player we returned was Baylee Newport.

Oneida also defeated Union Co this season. A very solid team with a Carson Newman signee and a record of 21-4.

Who were the All-District selections?

Any thoughts on All-District team? LilGoose or Kazam?

I can't see how you give POY to anyone other than Newport. IN MY OPINION....She is the best player in the district. Plus she has been making an impact since she was a freshman. 

Clarkrange lost Kara Meadows to a knee injury. And I heard Lexi Smith (PG) transferred to York.

Best Players

1-2 Twins

3-4 Newport & Morgan (Oneida)

5 ????

2 Big games this week:

Tues - Oneida at Oliver Springs

Friday - Oneida at Wartburg

Any predictions?????

Well Kaz you got your wish about the snow. I agree with you about All-District and Player of the Year. It is really going to be interesting to see how it plays out. Especially with the Oneida girls.

I think the Carson girl at Oneida has really stepped up. Especially the last 2 games. Do you know who is leading in scoring?

The Ambassadors were a better team than Oneida expected. There was one player that we couldn't stop.

It will be interesting to see what Kazam has to say about the game.

I watched them beat Oneida. One girl scored 30+ points. They are definitely not a bad team.

The star player for Catons Chapel and 2-3 players on that West Valley also play on that Flight team. They are all exceptional athletes.

Anyone want to make a prediction who will win?

Thanks! Do you know what time the games start?

Does anyone have any information about the Area 4 Class AA Tournament?
