Now maybe all these people bragging about W. Station will "put a lid on it" for a while. 20+ points??? hehe

Yep. I'll still say White Co. wins in a close game between 2 good teams.

Correct. Parkview beat Dade by 30. Parkview has won the last 2 state championships in Ga in the AAAAA class{biggest class}.

02Wildcat....White Co. has 3 losses, they lost to York{team had flu}, they got beat by LA by 3, and lost one to Dade Co. GA in their XMAS tourney this week in Georgia. Dade Co. Georgia is ranked 3rd in the state of Georgia in AA. They went 2-1 in the Xmas tourney with wins over Bledoe Co. and St. Thomas Aquinas, Florida.

Did LA lose by 23?

White County's J. Simpson and M. Herron are 2 VERY good freshmen players.

Bradley wins by 9.

Who are they playing in the championship?

Shelbyville 1st in your poll with 5 or 6 losses and one of them was to Mt. Juliet and Mt. Juliet is 6th in your poll? That's kind of odd.

White County's Kellie Jolly. Back to back to back National Championships at UT.

BA barely beat Cookeville, so Columbia definitely has a chance to beat them because to me they weren't very impressive in the LA jaycees tourney even though they won it.

23smom...I agree with your post. You were talking about low wages. I don't think parents of girls that move to Shelbyville pack up and move because they know they can get a minimum wage job at a fast food place. Well, MAYBE, just maybe, these parents already know they will have a good paying job BEFORE they ever move to Shelbyville. Just maybe. :justwrestle:

Yep. I'm not changing my mind either. Merry Christmas to you too.

Indian....I couldn't agree with you more. Good post. :justwrestle:

flemtone...Only people inside Bedford Co. and the people that root for Shelbyville{which are probably one and the same} are the ones with the reality problem. They act like they have the only basketball team in the state. I'll say this one more time. If you are a good ball player you can get a scholarship ANYWHERE{UT, UCONN, VANDY, etc.}. You don't have to move to Shelbyville to get a scholarship like Shelbyville fans believe.

I agree....should be a good one.

Willie...I agree and disagree with your previous post. Shelbyville was obviously overrated. They were rated #1 in the ENTIRE COUNTRY and have 5 losses. They may very well win the state, but 5 losses after being ranked #1 is overrated. Dateline IS probably a distraction. 8-AAA is usually a very tough District. I think you are right on Sevier. Don't agree that Shelbyville is #1 in the state because they lost to Mt Juliet. Some fans ARE making injury excuses right now with their losses{probably legitimate excuses}. Insell a great coach? I don't know??? I think most coaches could win with the PLAYERS he's had. Do they recruit? That's obvious.

If a girl is good enough to play college ball she will get noticed at any high school. Don't send her anywhere. Just ask Livingston, Jackson Co., White Co., Clarkrange, etc. All of these schools have sent lots of girls to play Div. 1 ball.

Tiffany Woosley lived in Moore County. I talked to her dad and her dad told me the reason he sent her to Shelbyville was that the Moore County coach at that time told him that he should not expect Tiffany to play as a freshman. He had his starters in place and it was not his policy to start freshmen. So, Tiffany's dad took her to Shelbyville, where she started for 4 years. I've heard all the same stuff about Insell's recruiting, and he MAY have sometime, but I also KNOW that he has tried to discourage girls from transferring to Shelbyville after he learned they were considering it. A recent example is Kim Dye who would have gone to Lincoln County. She and her folks wanted her to go to Shelbyville for personal reasons. Coach Insell did his best to discourage her transfer...even going so far as to call the Lincoln County coach and tell him that he was about to lose a player over small time garbage. Coach Insell begged the Lincoln County coach to address the situation and keep Kim Dye in Lincoln County. Kim Dye's family can vouch for that. Despite Insell's best efforts, Kim Dye transferred to Shelbyville. She also got a full scholarship to Florida upon graduating from Shelbyville. Now if that's recruiting...getting scholarships for his players, then, yes he does. Another fairly recent example is Abi Ramsey, now at Vanderbilt. She was attending Grundy County. Some ex-basketball girls jumped her in the hall at Grundy...knocking her down and tussling with her. Abi was the one who got suspended. Her father said in the principal's office that Abi would never play ball there again. That was not a case of Insell recruiting Abi. Shelbyville was just a good place to go when she and her folks felt they had been shafted at Grundy Co. By the way, the principal involved with Abi is NOT the principal who is at Grundy now. That story comes from Abi, herself...much after the fact. I don't know the stories of all the girls who have played at Shelbyville, but those are some fairly recent, high profile players that Insell was accused of recruiting. So, I did a little investigating. If your Woosley info is correct, then Insell obviously guaranteed her dad she would start her freshmen year at Shelbyville. That's recruiting.

White Co. lost by 3 in the first meeting. If it's closer like you say LA will win by 1 or 2 points.

White County at home by 5.

I don't really agree with 90warrior on the Kellie Jolly comment, but M. Herron is a very good player. Hopefully Herron's knees will hold up throughout her high school career.

You've never heard of Livingston? You've got to be kidding.

Some team might slip by Bradley, but NOBODY will whoop up on them.

I don't know that they have a great "team", but they have 2 GREAT players in Joni Simpson and Megan Herron.
