How’s that a not a foul on GC? Girl dove on the Loretto player and they say it’s tied up and give GC possession. That’s awful. 

Calls were missed both ways ! Didn't decide the game. The margin was 12 points!

Yes two great programs.  Surely he is about to retire lol.  This would be a great way to go out.

You know, I've thought alot about that lately. I hope he doesn't, but with his son's coaching, I can see him relaxing watching them. Also, enjoying those grand babies!

Well, Mitch Wilkins may have something to say about that!!! lol! These are 2 great programs. I enjoy every time we play each other. They both represent West Tennessee girls basketball very well!

That was a good open field tackle.  

Here come the excuses. 12 point margin my friend! That's not refs. That's one team that was not going to loose! Loretto has nothing to be ashamed of. It was a great game. Don't blame officiating. Two teams playing their hearts out! Congratulations Loretto and Gibson County for providing us fans with a great game!

Congrats to Gibson Co., they had to go through a gauntlet to win.  I didn’t think they had enough scoring but that defense proved me wrong.  You and Westview will always be the favorites to get back to State with the path you have.  Gibson county will miss Micah probably more than you realize.

Thanks!

Referees look like they’re favoring Gibson county a little. They should have been a foul called she flat ran over the Loretto girl. 

Went both ways my friend. Not sure if you were there or not. Calls were missed on both sides. A 12 point margin in the end, can't blame that on the refs! GC was not going to be denied!

It’s so hard to win up there. We felt so privileged and honored being lucky enough to win back to back. That’s why I don’t like to throw championships in other peoples faces cause of how hard it is to get that gold ball. I do feel having Gibson county in our district helps us. 

Agreed. We have had some great games between the 2. I've been following it for 20 plus years! It helps both teams.

So you are saying Wilkins made adjustments to take Beaty out of the game and it worked?   Saying a team got lucky is typical sore loser mentality.  Get over yourself.  Better luck next year.  You’ll still have I deal with these pesky district 14 teams.  They might get “lucky” again next year.  

GC got lucky??? I guess your name is spot on. "Truth hurts" lol 2good teams played -1 won & the other 1 could have. Not giving GC credit is a bad look   in other words, the truth does hurt.

I’m predicting a Gibson County vs Wesview round 5

Sure would be nice!

Westview should definitely be in that record with I think 11 straight state appearances…. Is nothing short of amazing! 

Between Westview and Gibson County they have been about 35 times between the two. Pretty amazing because they play each other and for the most part from the same District. IMO the toughest district in the state of Tennessee.

Yes sir. I ride a handicap scooter so I stay up at the top level but stop me sometime and let’s talk. Gibson County has great fans and a great coach and always a good team. Next year it could be Clark Range and Gibson County in the finals. This was our year if we can just finish it. 

I'm not so sure about us and Clarkrange.  Clarkrange yes. We are loosing Neal, Sweat, Bass,Amy Lee and Hunt. All who played 

That's saying something.  Bianca and Heather were beasts!

Do we all need to get a black ball and put it in the trophy case? Because that is the way it feels.

Yep. Sure does. Nobody planned on this happening. 

At least all the final 4 teams need something of value in my opinion.  Something they can at least put in the trophy case!

Didn't realize Loretto and other schools did that for Macy. Pretty cool that Chloe's dad called her! He's teaching his daughter what's important in life. Good for him! That proves there's still good people in this world! The world needs more of that. Because right now, there's a lot of hate and divisiveness in this Country. It's only a game if you think about it......but I sure like winning!

Yep that makes perfect sense.  I just posted this as a funny, I hope everyone  knows I was only kidding. We just want to finish this tournament for the girls.

Just found out Coach Trevathan sent Macy Neal a letter after she had season ending surgery.  What class! She is a great girl. We kinda adopted that whole family my wife and I did.  Their just good folks! I appreciated what you guys did for her at the last home game we played you guys. I do the announcing for GC ,have for years. Greenfield gave her a loud cheer and standing ovation. Maybe Greenfield isn't that bad after all... lol! Class act though from your coach and team . Come down and holler at me if we play you guys at home. Would like to meet you

Then you will not get a trophy period because they are not going to play these games. I hope I am wrong but I have done talked to some people in the know and it is not good. GC are the reigning champs and will defend that title for another year, I don’t particularly like shared championships either but at least your team is recognized for still being in it and not getting knocked out. Got a feeling y’all better start trophy hunting because they are not playing these games.

I'm not sure what needs to be done. All final 4 teams get a trophy similar to the Gold ball that shows "final 4"??? Or each of the 12 teams left get a Gold Ball? On the other hand Greenfieldfan has a point.  They are undefeated and would have a good chance to win it all ( they obviously are the favorites). So why should they have to share anything since they worked for it? Not saying other teams didn't put in the work, because I know they did. For sure GC.. I cant really think of a scenario that would suit everyone.  They do need to do something though for the teams left.  I'm glad I dont have to make the decision. They did beat us twice and Loretto once. What to do about Clarkrange?  Did they play during the summer? FYI...Just found out Nashville is either closing bars and restaurants or limiting attendance.

Ouch! That sucks!

if the games aren’t finished. Schools and fans spent a ton of money to get there with hotels, food, gas, lost vacation days, etc....tens of thousands of dollars lost that is against tight budgets not to mention ruining senior years for this. NCAA is stepping to the plate and granting extra years of eligibility to some of these sports. These HS kids deserve something and closure since the TSSAA is liable for the losses incurred. It is time for the TSSAA to step up to the plate.

I had to take a day off without pay. Pioneer42 you know where I work...on the South side of the county as a Work Based Learning Specialist.  It for sure don't pay much either! So I lost my measly salary for that day and spent a lot of $$ to make this trip. The TSSAA surely will come up with a viable option that's fair for the 4 teams that are left in Single A.

It's a sad situation.  Girls have spent months if not years to get an opportunity like this and for the TSSAA to jump the gun so quickly is beyond me. Hotels , restaurants and shopping malls are all open and to me there is a better chance to contract Coronavirus in those places. But what do I know, I'm just an old high school basketball fan that looks forward to this time of the year all my life. This is worse than the year when GC made it undefeated.  Played the first round against Livingston Academy (I think) and got beat and went home. Best I remember,  they had a girl with the last name "Hawhee" or something like that. I got so tired of hearing her name called  I almost threw up.

I signed it. Greenfieldfan has it on here I see. It is on one of the top threads I seen. I think they got a meeting Tuesday. Think they out to review in about 2-3 weeks.

I found it thanks!

That is the most selfish idea I have ever heard.   If one plays they all play. TSSAA would get sued for discrimination if they did something like that.

I don't see that happening.  You can't determine a state champion based on past results during the regular season. Surely,  they aren't going to for something like that. Based on that reasoning,they would have to open up to all 3 classifications. I wouldn't think all 12 teams would agree with that. Thats assuming they got all the semis played. I may be wrong, but with the T$$AA, it wouldnt suprise me.

I signed it a while ago. Greenfield and Westview sent it to me on FB. Don’t think it will change the game playing,.but I feel they need to award some Gold Balls for the ones still standing to put some closure to this deal. This little escapade cost people money and a lot of hard feelings.

What's the latest on the petition? Not that it would influence the T$$AA.

at least someone understands basketball. 

Yep. Your right! I was at that game. It was a close game best I remember. I kinda miss those Westview/GC matchups. That's why I said in my previous post. Westview was without one of their key players, so I don't put much thought into that win. Would be like us playing Westview in the days of Paige Duncan or Tiffany Atkins out of the game!

Gentlemen you can add Clarkrange to this conversation. Neither of these two teams could travel to Clarkrange and win. Just like I don’t see Clarkrange traveling there and winning. Now on a different note you can go ahead and hand Clarkrange the gold ball next year.  All their players are underclassmen. 

Agreed. I remember those Bradford/Clarkrange games from years past. Clarkrange has always been in the mix. What type of feeder system do they have as far Elementary and Middle School?
