I think houston co. wins by 10 plus... Cascade looked like a true 4th place team in the tournament. I think they have packed it in for the season. I hope they prove me wrong

WOW!! The refs were terrible. well at least the gray haired man. He was calling hand checks that had no affect on the play in the 4th quarter. He is not the only one to blame for that last travel call. The trail should of picked up that easy call. But bottom line Eagleville missed too many free throws. So the refs can not be blamed for the loss. Great season Eagles.

Can anybody remember what happen the last time Culleoka had a Mr. Basketball Finalist when these two teams played? It takes 5 to win. One person can be guarded. Either by man, zone, blitzing, or a box in one. So its not like one individual has to be able to guard him. With that said Defense wins Championships. It should be a great game!

You dont have be set to take a charge. both instances the players led with the shoulder. And for youngtower, the refs did not decide the game, we did by not hitting free throws and lay-ups.

Forrest by 15

Eagleville by 5 or less

I enjoyed watching the Eagleville/Forrest game! It was great to see two good offensive teams shut each other down defensively. Eagleville finally figured a way to shut down Shankle. By the way he is well deserving of the district MVP. Against Forrest you have to make the role players beat you and Eagleville did a great job of that. I also thought that Forrest's defense was great too, as always. They have been the best defensive team in the district all year. That is accredited to Coach Mac and the awesome job he did with Forrest this year. When Eagleville went to man with a couple of minutes left, there was a battle down low with Aldaffer guarding Shankle. It was great to see their best against Eagleville's best. Too bad this game was not the regional final and both from 9A got to advance.

Scoring 30 points does not matter because what you do in one game does not mean that will automatically happen again. I will take a 30 to 29 win anyday. Defense wins championships.

Too bad this game was not the regional final and both from 9A got to advance. I think the championship game will be very tight and not as high scoring as one would think. Eagleville must make East Lit hurt them from the perimeter and limit them to one shot. Eagleville must come out with confidence and keep it close in the first quarter. I thought when our district (11A) moved to 9A, i figured the chance for sub state would be a whole lot easier. We were part of the hardest region year in and year out playing Perry Co. Collinwood, Mt. Pleasant, Wayne Co. Summertown and all those other power houses. And then we usually sent Eagleville, Culleoka, Moore Co., Forrest, Cascade. Most people would say that was the best region in the state, going on the previous 10 years. But i was wrong, our district is just as good now as back then. And based on the last two years the region has been very tough with East Lit, East Rob, and Nashville Christian. I just wish they would get rid of the satellite games and have them at one site, like they used too. Bc everyone is missing some great games.

congrats richland for winning your district! you get rewarded with summertown as your first round game. thats just bad luck.

Van Buren's pressure will hurt East Rob. I watched East Rob and i dont know if they can handle the ball pressure of VB. It will be a great game to watch.

Region 5A Tournament: Houston Co. at Forrest- its that time of year where forrest will roll on to the sub state. Forrest by 25 McEwen at MTCS- wow these two teams are very similar with their post play. could be best game of the opening round. McEwen by 3 Van Buren at East Robertson- Van Buren's speed will give East Robertson fits. VB by 10 Eagleville at White House-Heritage- I have no idea! Eagleville beat Houston Co. near Christmas. I think Houston Co. was healthy then. So the upset is very possible. Who do you have winning and by how many points?

Even though it hurts me to say it bc of his brother, Shankle will win it. I guarantee more coaches prepare for him more than any other player in the district and he still has great numbers. You can verbally committ as early as you want but can not sign until a certain date your senior year.

I am sick and tired of reading posts on coacht from hometown fans being so biased for their schools. Especially parents, players, and sometimes coaches. if people would post on topics using common sense and putting their school to the side, the topics and discussion would be alot more interesting to read about. i am from eagleville and cannot stand our hometown fans and players getting on here thinking that we are invincible and that their kids are the greatest. But our fans are not as bad as some on here. Supporting is different than bragging and trash talk.

i am sorry for the qoute mickey who. I did not post that. i should say who did but i wont. he will dominate the district. Someone posted that he would get shelled against 2a and 3a schools. Uh no. He is very similar to David Price. Everybody knows how good he is.
