I had no dog in this hunt and just enjoyed watching, but I was screaming at FRA coach to take a time out. He let his kids fall completely apart - about 20 points into the come back, you just knew it was over. Harding kids showed a lot of guts.

My two have graduated so my supporting days are over . Usually "follow" teams that have kids on them that I know through parents. Much less stress now !

Honest question: How many Jr. HIgh schools does Gibson County get to pull from ? I know Bradford has 1 and Peabody has 1 - seems there should be lots more to "load" from at Gibson County.

Would take 4 games to win Region / 1 Sub-State Win / 2 Wins in State to win it all. Could possibly win 1 in region/win sub-state (would be against # 1 seed in East and highly unlikely) and 2 games to win state so guess technically you are correct. Haven't posted in a long time - usually your posts are entertaining and enjoy your back and forth with Memphis people, but this post makes you just look petty. They can only play as many teams as there are in Division II. Also think you might want to re-do your Math with the 9 games in Class A. Using same logic, Trinity could win 1 game in District (come in 4th), Win 2 games in Region (come in 2nd), win sub-state, and 3 games in State and be State Champs with 7 wins (not 9).

Last time I EVER set my DVR to go over for only 30 minutes. Saw through the first overtime........*sigh*........ congrats to the Hawks - great game !

So guess this is the reason the games are played - from reading message boards all year, thought it was a foregone conclusion it would be an all 7A final.

I want anyone that is better than me to be in another classification so I can win..............

Enough whining about the draw - time to go play ! First year my high school team won State, we were ranked # 1 in state. Played # 3 in the state in first round (won by less than 10), Played # 2 in semi's (won in overtime), and # 4 came out of top half and blew them out in Championship. Point is we THOUGHT we were the best team going into state, and KNEW we were the best team at the end of the week ! Good luck to all teams this week - enjoy the madness, not many get to!

Final from 8A----- Jackson Christian -- 57 Middleton-- 50 GC if you look back, I called this more than once over the last couple weeks.

Third quarter in 8A Middleton 41 Jackson Christian 37

Does that mean Region moves back to 15A or do boys have to sweep also (which ain't gonna happen)...

Always enjoy reading your posts. Interesting to see what you thought about MIddleton - did you happen to see Jackson Christian ? Was not at games but have seen both play couple times through the year, and still say they are a dark horse....not for sure Middleton will be hosting sub-state - really give shot for JC to knock them off either in district or region finals. Don't think either one can hang with UC and both with have trouble with GC also.

Worry about Middleton - very athletic, capable of any given night of playing great but also capable of playing a mediocre game. Maybe not worry, but keep one eye open for Jackson Christian who beat Middleton at home and played to a 3 point game at Middleton.....JC has lots of experience and very smart team.

Miss the days when the Gibson County tournament was Gibson County teams - had some great games over the years, especially Gibson County/Bradford girls.

So, read 2 of your 5 posts and come to a quick conclusion..........it must stink to be you.

Threads like this make it much easier to handle that mine has graduated and not playing any longer.

Man - how unusual is that ? That all of these parents would get jobs and poor kids have to move ! Oh wait.............um sorry..........forgot it was Memphis and rules do not apply there.

LOL - understand the laying out of work a few more days. It always ends too soon, whether it is first round of district or first round of state. Quite an accomplishment to make it to the final 8 - congrats to your guys.

Not picking on you specifically, but I swear EVERY thread I read in EVERY class has someone whining about their draw and how the team they are playing is a great team. News Flash: there are 8 teams left---they are all pretty good or they would not be there. Last time my high school team went to state, we played # 3 in state first round, # 2 in second round, and # 4 in championship---We were # 1 ranked team in state. Point is---we had to beat the best with #1,#2, and # 3 ranked teams in the same half of bracket...if you want to win, you are going to have to beat the best at some point.

Thanks for clearing that up. I knew that even in my worst (or best) efforts to get under some posters skin, I would NEVER "put down" cheerleaders or any kids that play their heart out night in and night out. If you read my quote, it said "cheerleader parents" referring to the Adamsville parents who were making a point of showing everyone in the gym that they were pulling for Riverside, or more accurately pulling against TCA.

I have no idea what you are talking about --- I went back and read everyone of my posts just to make sure there was nothing on there on a bad day about cheerleaders - they are some of my favorite kids at our school. But it made you look good....for a second. Good luck to your girls on quest for championship....have watched them play, like what I see and will not hold it against them for a select few of their "fan base" (you).

Nice post....sheer class.

Are the JC girls not in the same boat? Find it absolutely hysterical that there is NOTHING posting on the girls thread about who is hosting tournament....of course, they won
