I believe that #23 started last year, and 20 and 24 played regularly. I did not say they were a middle of the road team. I was just saying that the teams 2-7 are about equal. It is easier for them to beat each other than for one of them to beat Clay Co. District 6A has become a tough district, and the teams that survive it are quality teams as they have had success at the state level for the last few years. And I agree with you that Clay is beatable, but no one has been able to that this season.

There was not much difference between 2 through 7. So not that big of surprise.

High school needs a shot clock about as much as they need to play with a square basketball.

Found this on rule changes for this year. 9-9-1: A player shall not be the first to touch the ball after it has been in team control in the frontcourt, if he/she or a teammate last touched or was touched by the ball in the frontcourt before it went to the backcourt. EXCEPTION: Any player located in the backcourt may recover a ball deflected from the frontcourt by the defense. Rationale: To ensure that a team is not unfairly disadvantaged on a deflected pass.

I thought the side view of the shot shows the shooter's arm being hit. This is not how a state final game should be called. There got to be better refs than these three.

Top bracket seems to be the toughest with only 11 loses against the 33 in the bottom half. All teams have earned the right to be in the state as they came through the system setup by the TSSAA. Everyone should be congratulating the young ladies that have earned the right to be there and not running teams or players down. The one truth is that no matter what way would be used to determine the draw everybody is not going to be happy. Time to lace up the shoes and play. May the best team win.

If Huntingdon has a post game, Moore Co. could be in trouble. I thought that Clay gave them problems. They just didn't go there enough.

CR having to play a tough game last nite may cause problems tonight, but playing a home will help offset that some.

In a single game like the substate any thing can happen, foul problems, poor shooting, someone gets hot, bad call(s) at the right time, match up problems just to mention a few. The better team does not always win, just the one that scores the most on that night. If they play ten games, it could be the only one that they win, but with all of that said all of that does not matter. It just who wins tomorrow night. All 16 have a change of winning at this stage of the season. I would think that in most places that the home team has a big advantage.

How many games in the last two years have you seen played like this? I haven't seen one in my area in the last 10 - 15 years. A big expense and trouble for schools for something that doesn't happen very often. It is just my belief that the high school game does not need to be like the AAU games.

Middleton is the best team in the state in Class A. This has been a great tournament to watch. There have been several great games to watch. Clarkrange having to play three games in three days played heavy on them. This is not meant to be an excuse because you have to beat everyone to be the champions and this did not happen.

If my memory servers me right, Charles Mitchell was the coach the first year that Pickett County won (77), and Sam Gibson was the coach the next three years. Warren Co. won AAA and Pickett Co. A.

LC could say the same about their game with Stown. If they had just hit one more FT in the 4th Stown would not have been playing Clay Co. Whether it is the defense or your team just shooting poorly that is the way it was, no buts/ifs. Clay Co moves on and Stown goes home.
