would like to be there today and see what union city thinks of the 5'8 chase dunn from livingston. this guy does his talking on the floor.

great game white county. i'll admit i didn't think they could do it. these boys know how to play together and coach mitchell going to zone, to me, proved to be the difference. nice to see an upper cumberland team beat one of the best from west tenn.

not sure if the question is who has been the best team for the last 20 years consistently or if were talking about the best team for a single season??????????

to answer your question---NO jackson county, cascade, clarkrange and oliver springs are way out of their class. dyer county is far and away the best team from tn in tourney. question is how good are the teams from south carolina and florida. my guess is both will be very good. heard that team from florida was the biggest high school in florida. this is the toughest field thats ever been in the midsouth for the boys. your boys from white county have a descent chance cause dyer county is in opposite bracket.

who got the technicals for Cully?

didn't get a chance to catch this one but was wondering how everything shook down at the end. who had good and not so good games? i know this is two of the better single a teams in the state, especially south of nashville.

yep, they play friday night at jackson county

not exactly right. jackson county went undefeated in regular season district play last year so i know they beat pickett at pickett. also, i'm pretty sure that albany, kentucky team beat them too. i do see pickett with a great chance to get to the state this year if they can overcome the loss of Roddy, who is a major loss by the way. i guess we will see soon.

I hope everyone don't get on here and bash coach white for losing. He can only do so much. His girls came out flat and just didn't play to their potential. Also, Clarkrange did a good job of playing very physical on the defensive end. In addition, I do believe it would benefit the team to play some of the very talented AA and AAA teams in his area during the season.

yes, heard that everything had been pushed back a night meaning that boys semi's on monday night and finals on wed. if this is incorrect someone please post.

congrats to smith county and especially coach sanders, a class act all the way. you seem to have bobby's number in baxter.

i'll take moore county by 9. i think they are deeper, maybe not the best player on the floor but a better team.

sorry muff but don't think anyone has said either team outhustled the other. both teams played hard and showed why they each won their respective district title.the total of 53 was girls and boys combined. the 28 was how many the moore co. boys shot. it was a great game but total points from the foul line moore co. boys 21, jackson co. boys 1. you figure out what happened.

Dunn MVP Martin/Welch co-coaches of the year

you people (kids) don't have a clue.

Don't think so. You are dreaming. 1 bad game doesn't make for a season.

hadn't seen cannon play so i can't say for sure but of the rest its a no brainer that dunn is mvp. think coach martin should be coach of the year for the outstanding job he has done this year beating la and baxter.

i don't have a dog in this fight but i do know that moore co. beat culleoka earlier in the year. also, those sos rankings can be misleading.

most of the teams in 7AA would have lost to jackson county, david lipscomb, and pickett county. just becauase 2 of them were single A doesn't mean anything. still think la is best team in 7AA with upperman a close 2nd and dekalb a close 3rd.

just saw the score and was stunned. westmoreland only lost once in the nera white tourney and seemed competitive. is friendship just this good? they seemed ok the night i saw them play.

can't seem to find this one? anybody?

like you said to each his own. however, i would much rather watch a good tn boys high school game than to watch an NBA game myself. one of the biggest reasons i even posted was because some said it would make the game more fun to watch. my response is if you like more blowouts than this would be true. also, i guarantee you that a shot clock would make some teams non competitive year in and year out just because they don't have good athletes. again i'm pretty sure this areas boys teams can't and would not compete as well with the athletes that are in inner city schools if the shot clock is installed. of course there are exceptions but there are always exceptions. i just believe that the shot clock will make kids forget about many of the fundamentals of the game and the way it was designed to be played. in addition, i see way to many games now where teams come down and chunk it up as quickly as possible and play little defense. is this what we want to teach our kids? i think not. i will teach mine that it is a team game and good teams are smart and play good defense. i will not teach them to chuck it up as quick as they touch the ball. i would much rather they learn to value each possesion and frustrate other teams by being patient. thats just me and i don't have to be correct but i believe most would think i am.

basically heres my points: 1.)with a shot clock the coach is much less of a factor 2.) teams that don't have very many athletic kids, boys way more than girls, have a much better chance of winning versus teams that are athletic. thus, the lack of a shot clock can be a great equalizing factor. 3.) some teams just can't run up and down the court and shoot right away and play good, thus my streetball comment.

First of all it would speed most games up significantly. This may be fan friendly at first but with good coaching and kids being patient some less talented teams have a legitimate shot at upsets. With the shot clock in place there would be many more lopsided games. If you make the shot clock mandatory you make the coach less significant, especially to those schools who are not blessed with great athletes. Also, the player who understands basketball well and is not that great an athlete becomes less important. I for one oppose any suggestion of a shot clock. Being from the Upper Cumberland where we are not blessed with a benchful of great athletes I like to see the coach have a shot at controlling tempo and playing those bigger schools the way he/she wants to. Finally, I believe kids that understand how to play both slow and fast ultimately make better basketball players than those who just play fast, like streetball.
