It's actually nothing like that. DC fronted 25k for the event. Might want to do a little research before you speak on matters you know nothing about.

To bad we won't get to see them play Brentwood Academy.

Watertown's guy may be 6'8, but if LC runs like they are capable in the 4th he may only be 5'11 because he will be bent over with his hands on his knees.

This description fits DC to a T as well , just replace DT with Robert Hubbs

A- Lake Co AA- SS AAA- my team is DC but I will be cheering for Maryville as well

And if your team is playing who else are you cheering for in that class?

Congrats to Maryville from Dyer County, safe travels to the boro next week.

There's not one out there, so that will never happen.

It was Georgia and I think he ends up a Vol. Duke just landed a highly rated wing the other day that will probably weigh very heavy in his decision process.

Looks like rivals disagrees with your assessment of Hubbs. At the same point in their career Hubbs is ranked higher than AP.

Just received an offer from Duke.

I said it once and I'll say it again there will never be a Mr. Basketball winner from DC because they aren't covered by a major media market. Even the Jackson Sun doesn't cover the Choctaws. Sad but true.

Alot of that has to do with media exposure too. Which DC has very little of. The bottom line is McCord hasn't had to put the game in Hubbs hands very much but, when he does he delivers. I have seen all three and there is really not to much difference in them.

You are aware DC already played SW and lost by only 4 on a neutral court and lead most of the game To say they won't make is pretty bold. I'm not saying they will win but, it is certainly not a foregone conclusion they will lose.

If he is not the best finisher in Tn I would like to see who is. Should end up a 5*

[i agrees about the district. They have played a strong non- district schedule. I am not saying Poythress shouldn't win. He is a fantastic player. But to say it's a cut and dry issue is not accurate in the least. quote name=GCPioneer' timestamp='1327978587' post='2769677] NQ o offense, but Dyer Co.'s district isn't that strong. However, it is who they have to play and also their non-district schedule is very tough. With that being said, Clarksville NE has played NOBODY that is a legit contender in AAA. Maybe Brentood? whom they lost to as well. Poythress should be having his way against Kenwood, Rossview, West Creek etc... Now, that I'm done saying that, Jonathan J3 Williams from Southwind is having a great season against much stronger competition in Memphis. He also played a good game against Arlington Country Day as well as Dyer Co. There's no way that Poythress is a clear cut favorite as Mr. Basketball for this year. Just because he's going to Kentucky doesn't make him the best in Tennessee.

Him averaging 30 a game could be a product of two things. The competition he plays and the other options there are on his team. Does he play the competition night in and night out that the Memphis schools and Dyer County plays? I think we all know the answer to that. Also J3, King, and Hubbs have other viable D1 talent to disperse points to. Poythress does not. By your reasoning, a person that plays at UT Martin and averages 25 pts a game is better than Michal Kidd-Gilchrist at Ky. If you think he's the best by a wide margin, you will be surprised if you go to the Boro and see them side by side. I have seen them all and I think that there could be 3 players rated as high or higher in the Jr class than Poythress is this year. With that being said any of the 4 mentioned are well deserving.

Both players are excellent players but to say that Hubbs is not on the same level as Poythress is not accurate at all. Hubbs by rivals accounts is one of if not the fastest rising prospect in the country. He hasn' t had as much hype around him since DC is in rural West Tennessee and the 2013 crop in Memphis is so strong. Fact of the matter is that a player from DC will never win Mr. Basketball because of simple geographics.

He sure is. What's your point? Are you butt hurt about him being at DC or something?

I would add Southwind and Ridgeway to 3a as well. Those 2 and Dyer County are my 3 favorites in that class.

He basically is a walk-on from what I have been told. In his case he can receive funding from state and federal grants and be within the parameters of the NCAA. He can't however receive institutional funding from UT other than a football scholarship. Plus Darr is on scholly to punt, so with Palardy and Bullock (if he was on scholarship) you still would only have 2 kickers on scholly. This is just what I have been told by someone "in the know."

I respect Teague for sticking with his commitment to the Vols. WHich had me wondering, when was the last time a Maryville alumn went D1 and actually stuck with their initial commitment? Cade Thompson? Tyler Maples? Brent Burnette? Aaron Douglas? Just Saying. Don't get mad either, I just think that attacking Teague in this argument is a little unfair. We all love OUR players (FROM WHOEVER YOU REPRESENT).

They will not be overwhelmed if they make it to state. Believe me the two teams that come out of the West will already have seen the best the state has to offer before they get to the boro. Sectionals might be a wakeup call though!

I would love to see DC host a tournament with some top flight teams. I am sure a couple of the better Memphis teams wouldn't mind coming up. Maybe some of the Atlanta area and St. Louis area teams too.

It;s hard to tell at this point. They haven't really played any upper echelon teams. We will find out how good they are against Christian County Ky. in a few days.
