  1. I been around here a long time and I can’t ever remember Cookeville playing in a sectional/sub state game. So I sure have not seen them at a state tournament. Last thing some of you younger ones might not know is that the state tournament has not always been held in Murfreesboro. When I was in high school it was at Vanderbilt. I was told before my time it alternated sites from West, Middle. and East Tennessee.
  2. I was told by someone who should know that they were supposed to play in Florida and the tournament got cancelled. So they were scrambling to find any tournament to play in.
  3. Monterey has a kid that will shoot a huge percentage of their teams shots. He probably should shoot the most because he is their best scorer. I would say 80% of shots would be not good for any teams chemistry. I think not having other options hurts the team. It is easier to guard one person than five.
  4. I will be shocked if both don’t make it and not sure both shouldn’t win. Both face double and triple teams every game and still average over 30 each. Strong has improved so much. I am not sure where he is going to college but he is at least a mid-major and of course Slatten going to Ole Miss. In my opinion, the best players don’t just score, they make their teammates better. Pretty sure both boys also lead their team in assists. Definitely 2 of the best that have played in Upper Cumberland in a long time.
  5. Wrong. JC made substate in 2016 under different coach who never had losing record in district. That was last season he coached.
  6. Not sure why anyone would want to take this job. If they will fire Leslie they will fire anyone else too. My last guess is they have some other LOCAL person to replace her.....
  7. I am pulling or 6a but I will pick Loretta because they have the best player.
  8. Biggest upset in district tournament in some time. I was not at game but would like to hear details.
  9. After watching several games last few weeks I definitely think West should be MVP of district. Brings it every night and if you take him off that team they probably finish in bottom 3 of district. He definitely makes all his teammates better. Marsh should be 2nd and I would go with Strong and Ashlock has 3rd and 4th. Still think if Strong can shoot 3 little better he may have most college potential.
  10. Best player in uppercumberland plays for Sparta, Slatten kid.
  11. 1. Clay County--most talent overall, way deeper than anyone else in district. 2/3. Monterey/RBS--Teams are very different but both rely on one player to get most of their offense. 4/5. Gordonsville/Pickett Co--I could see either team filling in last spot to make the region. 6/7. Jackson Co./Trousdale--Both have guys that can play. Consistent play just not there for either yet. 8. Clarkrange--least talented team but wouldn't surprise me if they beat someone in district tournament. I don't believe the district to be a toss up. I think Clay has the best team. It would not shock me if they get beat again in district but only if they don't play to potential. MVP race will be interesting. Probably a 2 horse race with Marsh(RBS) and West(MHS). Strong kid from Clay will likely be next choice but other 2 are more valuable to their team IMO. I do think Strong kid will be great player before he is done but would not make him MVP this year. Anyway, my 2 cents worth.
  12. Mafia, has your opinion changed after last night?
  13. Wood dale deserves to lose if they keep shooting 3’s. 0 for 13 heading to 4th qtr
  14. Don’t sleep on Meigs County. I only saw them play once but I believe they started 5 sophomore and they could play...
  15. I want to start out by saying I am totally unbiased to either of these teams. The best player on the floor was the point guard from Houston County, not the Hayes girls or big girl from Houston County that’s going to Mississippi State.
  16. I have said all year Upper Cumberland basketball not as good has in years past, boys and girls. I think this post season has proved us both correct.
  17. I am disappointed also. I heard that Clay only scored two points in 4th quarter of game last night. Is this true?
  18. I was at the game and it just seemed like after half time the Meigs coach did not care if his team won the game or not. Also, I think it was #23 for Meigs that seemed to be a player but hardly played the second half. Just wondered if she got hurt or coach was not pleased with her in some way
  19. Well said by play4fun. Best team won but I thought Pickett got worst of it, especially early. Clay county guard,number 20, was difference in my opinion. I would to know how it would of come out had technicals not occured but I still think Clay would of won. Even before the technicals Pickett girls seemed to be frustrated by officials. Maybe rematch down road...
  20. That would be to simple. My guess is Dana wanted it this way. Her teams almost always finish top 2 in district. Smart by her but not to smart for teams that consistently finish in bottom portion of district.
  21. Hmmmm. ..may have been on to something long time ago. I do believe when they get point back they be much better. However, all those cupcake wins early really showing up now.
