Stone up 21-2 at end of first.

If things go as I think they should go...I don't see Sparta or Stone having any problems. Kinda confused on Cookeville but I think they should win. I think we have the power to TCB too but can't overlook anyone. 

Definitely not overlooking anyone, but I agree with your assessment. If things go as most of us think they should lol

Hope cleveland wins and dont really care about the rest. 

We have our own mountains to climb.  

I still think 6AAA takes three out of four in first round. 

Y’all do have your own mountains to climb. Good luck!

Before covid stone was at 987, CCHS was right at 1000. Covid did not change much. 

I knew we dropped below 1000. I think we started the year around 930 or a little less, but I could be living in a separate  universe

Cookeville has around 2200.  That is a big difference.  You all are closer to Upperman’s size.  

We used to be around 1100 and then the last year  before covid we were hovering between 1000-1100. This year a lot of parents opted to pull their kids and homeschool.

So Stone only has 400-500 kids?  They should be in single A shouldn’t they? Lol

Current enrollment is in the 900 range. Not that I’m really contributing to the discussion, just passing that on

I think the district that was supposed to host this year gets to host.

gotcha. We hosted last year, so it would make sense for Bradley to host this year if they are in the championship game. 

Just now, Dadof2 said:

I’ll take Bradley to win region. Does Bradley get to host?

I wondered the same thing- IF it comes down to Bradley and Stone, who hosts? Does it go to Bradley because of higher seed in district tourney, or is it a coin flip because both #1's from their districts. Gotta get to that game first though. One game at a time.

So putting all that aside how will the matchups be moving forward.  I’m not talking trash I’m being sincere...wondering what to expect.  
 

Can’t take Warren lightly regardless of the record.  I’d be surprised if Cleveland could beat Cookeville but who knows.  Stone will have NO trouble with East Ham, they just don’t have the players.  White should handle McMinn unless they give them wide open shots.  

I don't see Bradley having issues with Warren. Cookeville/ Cleveland might be a good game. It really depends on which Cookeville team shows up: when they're on, ( I've said it before) they are ON. When they aren't, that could make it close.

I hope Stone doesn't have trouble with East Ham. I remember going to East Ham last year for this first round game and Lawd it was a nail biter. Obviously Madison Hayes was a huge factor, but still. Take nothing for granted at this stage.

I haven't seen McMinn play this year, but just looking at schedule, I would think White County should win, but again, I'm taking nothing for granted at this point.

LadyCavs fan has watched a lot more of these teams in person than many of  us, and probably has a little better insight.

And a few more miscalculations! 

LOL! It's all good. Looking forward to some good games in this region tourney. Just hoping the Stone/ East Ham game is not as close as it was this time last year. Talk about a nail biter. Whew!

Just an update...prediction from post 1 kinda accurate.  We won again.  Go Bearettes.  

Maybe except the part about Rhea over Stone for region semis. Lol

I saw coach Buck saying something to him and it looked like the announcer pointed to the paper and said something.  But like I said that’s just silly to be talking about an announcer after that game.  Talking about stupid stuff like that takes away from how great the game was.  That’s all I have to say about that.  Good luck the rest of the season. And I hope we meet again.  

I totally get what you are saying, and I agree the game was by far more important than worrying about ( I’ll say it again) petty stuff. I also get why fans were not ok with it. Good luck to y’all as well!

Just now, LadyCavsFan said:

I thought it was silly that there were fans complaining about that after the amazing game that was just played.  The guy was probably just reading a piece of paper and didn’t even know there was a 3 way tie.   People need to stop taking away from the amazing game that was just played and making jerk comments like “I hope Cookeville gets beat by Cleveland...”   Our players don’t deserve that.  The wording should have been different but come on man.  

Except the part where Buck told him not once, but twice. Then it seemed to be on him. But I’m with you on the game being the most important. And it was a heckuva game!

CHS was 1st because of points scored I thought? 

For tournament seeding purposes. There was a three way regular season co champ, same as Warren and White were co champs on the boys side. Like I said, seemed petty not to acknowledge, but in the end what matters was the tournament championship. 

2 minutes ago, Dad0414 said:

What happened with announcer? 

When he was announcing the teams , he referred to CHS as regular season champs ( they were three way co-champs along with White County) and when Buck pointed that out he refused to acknowledge the Lady Panthers as regular season co-champs, even after Buck told him. Just seemed very petty.

I hope Cookeville gets beat by Cleveland.  (Probably won't happen, but that's what I'm hoping for).  Not much class displayed by CHS tonight.  But hey, what's new?

Are you talking about the announcer?

Just now, LadyCavsFan said:

Absolute war of a game!  Officials sucked for both teams but those players showed up huge.  Congrats to Stone on a well played game.  The adjustment late with Miller guarding Gillies was a game changer.   Both teams showed such amazing heart and fight.   I hope they play one more time...

I think my heart rate is finally starting to slow. Lol!

Whew!

I was not really referring to Stone, the only common opponent is Cleveland and the margin of victory is about the same. I was talking more about Cookeville. I know matchups mean more than anything, but you can gauge some teams when they’re losing or barely beating average or below average teams. For example both Cookeville and Bradley played Knox Catholic twice. Bradley won with the combined score of 69 points and Cookeville with by 10. Cookeville also lost to an average Baylor team and Bradley won by 30+ So I look at that I think there’s a big gap between those teams. But I could be totally wrong and only time will tell.

That makes total sense. This should be a fun region to watch for sure!

I have a honest question. Why do you think you have three teams that can compete with Bradley? Based on scores of common opponents I would think there’s a big gap.

I am probably missing one, but I don’t see any common opponents with Bradley and Stone. 
I haven’t seen Bradley play this year, and I know they are good like always, so I really can’t speak to how they would match up with any of the 6AAA teams. 
As you know, sometimes teams just have closer match ups based on the strengths of each team. That could be what LadyCavs fan is getting at.

Was this a district tournament game or a regular season match up?

District tournament game. Stone plays Cookeville for championship on Monday.
