By the way officiatin didnt cost y'all the ball game. What cost them, was when Gibson County put on the full court pressure and caused turnovers.

It's called discipline.

Back to Back State Champions! Our team and fans thrive when the band is there.

Yeah. Must be someone who knows nothing about the two teams. Any given night either team can win at full strength or not. People thought GC was toast in Region Finals starting out like 12 or so to 0! Gibson County competes the whole game, the whole court just like Greenfield. Gibson County got within 3, but just couldn't stop trading basket for basket. I predict Greenfield and Gibson County in the finals. The TSSAA better hope so too. The crowd support will be tremendous!

Agreed!

You are correct. As a follower of GC for years. You better get ready to play the whole court, the whole game if your playing any GC team. In my opinion, GC and Greenfield are head and shoulders above any team in class A. We are used to playing that style. When you play and beat teams like Westview, Southside, Sommertown,TCA your battle tested. Westview will bring hone the Gold ball in my opinion. Go Gibson County! Go Westview!

I'd be happy with that outcome!

Yeah. I have followed Gibson County for about 20 years. Coach Wilkins definatly set a pretty tough summer and regular season schedule. I just hope we don't lay an egg against a team that we clearly should beat or have one of our key players go down with injury. I witnessed it about 2-3 years ago when Riverside pulled a huge upset in our gym in a substate game. That stung for quite a while. Still a lot of games to be played between now and then. We'll see. I hope we can at least get a chance to play for a gold ball!

You are correct. There's too many games left. As the season goes on too many things can happen. On any given day any of the teams I mentioned could have beaten GC. Summertown does scare me a little bit I must say. Any team can have a bad game. I've watched GC for many years with an undefeated regular season, or 1 loss go to the Boro and get sent home! It should be exciting.

I haven't posted in awhile on CoachT. Unless something ridiculous happens, Gibson County is the best team PERIOD in West Tennessee. If they can stay healthy, they will have a good shot at a Gold Ball! We have played the toughest schedule, bar none in West Tennessee. We beat Westview twice, (one was a beat down,the other on their floor), Dyersburg, South Side, McNairy County, Greenfield, Gleason, and Sommertown. If you didn't notice, alot are AA schools, or defending champions. Go Lady Pioneers! We for sure have the best Coach in West Tennessee in Coach Wilkins.

I agree Pioneer42. I think the future is bright at GC. We had a lot of freshmen that got some quality playing time this year. That will help next year. IMO, we also have a great coaching staff. But for anyone to say that SG had the toughest route to the finals must not know basketball, when you have to go through the defending sate champion ( and were the favorites to win it again) and a quality Van Buren team. Playing back to back did not help either. Oh well, just left GC and had a nice celebration for the team. That trophy is going to look nice in our trophy case.

Congratulations to SG, they are very good, but saying they were the best team up there and had the toughest road, is a stretch. You might want to check the record before you embarrass yourself. Let's see, GC beat a very good Van Buren team with Miss Basketball, beat the number 1 ranked defending state champions with a 60 something winning streak. Oh, and by the the way, we beat Westview who knocked off the number one seed in AA....and were there playing for a title and came up a little short of beating SG. Either team could have won that game, and SG made plays when it counted. Congratulations to them. We'll take a silver ball and put in our full trophy case!

Never underestimate the heart of a champion. GC down double digits in 3rd Qtr each game and came back and won both.....so as I said score against common opponents means nothing at this point. It's how bad you want it! Should be a good game go GC!

Agree.

Never said SG or PC are not good, they are. I've done my research! Margin of victory against common opponents means nothing. Anyone know that.

GC fan your exactly right. All these people have no clue. Conditioning may have been what won the game for GC....I'm not sure. I was only able to get updates on my phone. VB has a quality team. Congrats to them!

Just your opinion. They may not impress you, but guess what.....we won the game! My motto " That's why they play the game". Math means nothing at this point! Any team can have an off night....that's basketball my friend. Still quality teams left in class A.

Might want to look at strength of schedule success for GC and Middleton compared to the others you mentioned. GC Number 1 I do believe after 36 games. Beating Westview who is playing in the state tournament and won! We beat them as well. No way SG or Picket are better than Middleton and GC! You don't win 60 something games in a row and not be great. Think they are defending state champs as well. You obviously don't know anything about GC this season. That's the way they have played most of their games and won all of them. They don't give up. Neither did VB today....GC just in a little better condition imo. This will be the toughest team GC will face this year in Middleton in the entire state. It's going to require a near perfect game for GC to win, but they can beat them I think.

Well, I guess I was right. All you people that thought VB would be a push over. (Wrong) From what I can gather VB legs were tired late in the game. It's hard to out condition a GC girls team, but I knew it was going to be close. I wasn't there to watch it. I kept up with it on my phone. It's unusual that you have a team make it this far and not be good. Congratulations to VB. They're good. GC has it's work cut out for them. It's sad that you have the two best teams ( #1 & #2 ) in the state meeting in the semifinals. Oh well, that's the T$$AA. Stupid on their part, because GC brings a crowd and they make more $$! Go GC! One down, two more to go.

GC needs to come out and play hard. I'm not buying this crap that VanBuren is weak. You don't make it this far and not have a decent team. GC players, don't pay any attention to this stuff. Just come out and play like we're capable of playing, and we should be o.k.

Well said westtnsportsfan....That's my point as well. GC played some of those teams as well including Westviiew who probably will be making another trip to the 'Boro Middleton is good ,I'm not saying that. You don't win 65 games and not be good. I was just making a prediction. "That's why they play the game"

I agree. It was one of the better games I've watched in that gym in quite some time. (Been going to them for about 15 years or more). Dresden is the real deal folks. I agree with others who say that Dresden lost control in the last 2-3 minutes. You can press GC if you want, but they can handle it for the most part. Dare say there is not a better conditioned team in West Tennessee than GC Lady Pioneers. I am picking Dresden to win against Middleton. Middleton better be ready, because I can guarantee Dresden is the best team they have played all year. (my opinion)

Hey my friend...this is not Gibson County's first rodeo! They have been there and won more than once! Next time your in our gym, you might want to look around just a little.....our program can compete at that level, just check the record!

GC will be the team to beat next year. Returning every player except one ( she will be missed). Also ,from what I have heard, there is a class of 8th graders that are moving up that can play! As far as coach Wilkins going anywhere soon is wishful thinking. He is a great coach, and got the best out of the players he had this year. He's not going anywhere soon!

I guess the three that went on to UTM Butler, Reedy and Griffin just practiced by themselves not against anyone else on Gibson Co.??? Last time I checked it takes a the whole team to win....get a clue young man. Butler and Reedy also won the OVC championship tonight and will be going to the big dance. (NCAA) They were missed no doubt, but GC did better then anyone expected them. Congratulations to the seniors @ GC.
