Theres several good players. I think Glory Johnson is the best athlete in the state. I think Kayla HUdson is the best overall and best all around player in the st ate. I think Lanning is also one of the best in the stata but I am not going to forget Jenkins from Wilson Central. She is the best AAA all around player. Everyone seemed to kind of leave her out because her team didn't make it to state. She is truly good.

nobody said on here that Mcminn was better or that Bradley was better than Cumberland or Cleveland. Somebody said that these two were sideshows and I think that is a little bit off. In District 5AAA anything can happen. At this point I would go with McMinn and Cumberland as the two strongest teams. Your point of WV being as good as any of the above is a little off base. They beat none of the above at any time except early in the season beat CHS without Simpson. I think these four are fairly evenly matched but would say that Cleveland is third best and Bradley fourth best in the district but that doesn't mean that any of them can't beat any of them next week. BTW, have you watched Leah Frazier and Shonda Smith lately? Two of the best players and most underrated in the district. They would start for any of the above teams. Harris would too.

How many do you get to vote for in each division? AAA 1. Jackie Pickel 2. KeKe Stewart 3. Shonda Smith AA 1. Brandi Brown 2. Katrish Williams 3. Bianca Thomas A 1. Kayla Hudson 2. Danielle Rector 3. ????????? D1 Don't know anyone

don't show your ignorance or stupidity by blaming the refs on your loss. That makes you sound really redneck. Then don't blame lossing a player on a coach. WV has has players quit so has Central, Bradley, Cleveland, and all other teams. Surely all those coaches are that stupid or maybe you shoud become a coach yourself. I bet if you go back a few games and look at foul counts your team shot twice as many foul shots in the games they won than the team you beat. In fact I was at one of the games that it happened. Its easy to blame losing on the refs. just face the facts that you are now playing AAA. Things aren't the same as the good old days. Look at the record now. Who beat you all. it was the AAA schools. Who did you bet. it was the AA and A schools. So don't blame the refs for any of your loses. That makes you sound dumb. But I still think you are not a WV fan anyway but someone hiding under a WV mask. I still think you are a resentful McMinn fan because all your posts are about McMinn in some way or other. Maybe even the girl who quit McMinn? Jerry Quirk is doing a great job there. Much better than the boys coach but I won't get in to that. A story for another board. But not any of you should blame the refs. Foul don't indicate the true story. I was there. It was bad called at times for both teams. Both coaches were angry. Redneck to say you got cheated though. besides the boys game was worst than the girls didn't you think?

McMinn vs Walker valley and Bradley vs Cleveland. Both big matchups and rivals

Bradley by six. the way they came back in the McMinn game made a believer out of me. What about McMinn-Walker Valley tonite? Will the cherokees continue there losing ways?

neither one are playing tonite in the game

Well that is just about embarrassing for the lady cherokees. What is the sam hill happened? Walker Valley, Cleveland and everybody else that has played OHS has had no trouble. To be a good team you have to play more than five players. I have seen the ladies play now on four occasions and could have ever only seen six players enter the game.

AAA winner Keke Stewart from Oak Ridge. finalists should be Jackie Pickel as definite finalist and either Mooney, Foster or a Memphis girl as the third finalist.Don't know about AA but the girl from TN Temple should be a finalist in A. Throw out some stats from these candidates

Coach Smith lets Terrance talk back to him way too much. Coach Smith should get a handle on him or everyone else on his team is going to get so mad and upset that the team will not make it past region. But I did watch him at McMinn and in the first half was pure awful and then in the second half kept shooting and brogt them back. But I also watched his attitude on the court. Horrible. Terrance is the cockiest player I have ever seen play down there at Bradley. They had some awfully good players at Bradley the past few years with the Hares, Carpenter, the Pughs and Pickel. All these players could run circles around Terrance as complete players but he is probably the best shooter of all them. But I watched Bradley play alot of their games and never one time saw any of those players act the way Terrance does. It is just awful the way he is allowed to act. To me he can win a game for them but he can lose them just the same. If he would just worry about winning instead of telling Coach Smith what to do or pointing his fingers at the other players or fussing with the referrees or talking to the crowd or any of the other things that good players should not do he would be good. I know even at McMinn when Bradley used to always win with the Hares. Pickels and Pughs that we hated to lose but we really respected Bradley and wanted them to go on. That is not the case now and it is because of the way he is aloud to act out there. But I still think that Bradley will win the district

Terrance Oglesby killed McMinn and Red Bank in the clutch times.

Brandi Brown/York Shanda Smith/McMinn Jackie Pickel/Bradley Katrich Williams/Tyner Angla Puleo/Maryville Danielle Rector/Temple

Cumberland over Cleveland in a close one even if Simpson is back. Its just too hard to win on the mountain. Walker Valley over Rhea by 15 or so. Nobody to stop Alverson or Butler. Bradley, Mcminn in a toss up. If Pickel and Eldrige are hitting I go with Bradley or if Castor and Smith are hitting I go with Mcminn.

For those of you doubters. I liked what I saw at Walker Valley last night. Lamar Caslin is one of the finest shooters in the district. He may not be quite the player as Oglesvie but he is an awesome shooter. Walker Valley I think may be one of the top three teams in the district. They may surprise some teams this year and I think they already surprised one last night. Bradley is probably the best in the area then McMinn Central. Wonder why they never play each other? Then McMinn County is a top five. I would have to put Waler Valley in the top ten and in front of Cleveland.

Walker Valleu upsets Cleveland High last night behind Lamar Caslin's 33 points.

I wasn't there but it sounds like we looked against cleveland. How many subs played? giving up an 11 point lead should not happen. How many points did Frazier or Smith get. How about Nila? I still think Cumberland can be beat. they barely beat Bradley or Mcminn. Walker valley barely beat Cleveland and Cleveland barely beat McMinn. The winner may be the team best coached. For sure nobody will go undefeated in this district.

What kinda props u want her to have. She was picked number three in the Chattanooga area only behind Houts (best PG in the south) and Pickel (number three player in state). And in front of Kerry Simpson and Shonda Smith who I think are awesomely good players. so thats a good prop for her. hard to imagine what kind of props you want her to have. And I don't know what game u were at there last nite to say that she would deserve more props. she is an all-stater and everything else. what else can we do for her in east tennessee. She is a great individual player but they won last night because of the team effort. Third quarter the subs brought back the mustangs. Butler came in second half and looked awesome but first half she kept throwing it up. last night should have proven to her and everybody that it is going to take a team effort to win games against good teams and more than one needs to try to score. Good teams need two or three in double figures not just one. What about Hamby? She is going to be a thorn in the side of opposing teams in the future.(or present, she was last nite) Alverson controlled the boards. what happened to smith and that other big girl. They didn't do nothing second half, and wells is one of the best guards in this area and she didn't impress me last nite. Anyway, I am glad that walker valley won cause now everybody is on equal playing terms. cumberland probaly has the edge though but all the district games are so close.

The McMinn Fire is made up of all McMinn and Meigs players so they are fairly local. I know that alot of the good players go to other places like Oak Ridge, Shelbyville, Knoxville, Lebanon and so forth to play but there are some that stay around here to play that are still good. If chattanooga doesnt have the AAU teams for them to play on then its their own fault. Why don't they play AAU. Don't tell me all the basketball players play voleyball or softball. I know there are some that don't so thats not a excuse for them to not be good. What do the highschool players do all summer to get better? I don't think they do anything because they are never any good at all. McMinn Countydoesn't have close to the people that bradley county or chattanooga has but they are always much better. I just think the work ethics are better.

I believe it will be Cleveland at Cleveland and McMinn at McMinn. you will be surprised at McMinn. This is a much improved team from previous years, I believe Coach Eliot will get alot from this group. Hicks is an all-around player and I like to watch him play. Barham, what a hustler and Nick, man, is he awesome or what! Who does Cleveland have back excpet Goldston. I don't know much about them this year?

She is an extremely good ball player but to say that she is as good as Cait is pushing it a little far. Cait is an all-american and future Lady Vol. She is all -everything. I was reading the Basketball Tennessee a few minutes ago an saw her as a top prospect in the nation as well as number one in TN. I also noticed that Pickel was a top recruit in the state as well as the number three player in the state. Both McMahan and Pickel were AAU all-american picked by coaches who were not biased and I believe Butler was also in the same tournament. All th ree are fantastic players with great futures with great programs. Butler gets alot of local press and the other two get national and state press. Don't take it so personal if she has not been mentioned with them. Many other players have not been either as you pointed out. See how she does in AAA because it is a hole lot different than what she has been used to. Anyway, they are all great players so quit trying to down some to make others look better. Good luck to all three and hope Cait gets well.

you are right but it is still fun to predict the winners. A I predict it will be either Clarkrange or Jackson County--the two best coaches in single A AA Chester County wins it again or Loretto wins it strictly on their talent AAA Shelbyville wins the gold one more time. MJ may be the sleeper

These are pretty good top ten players. I saw KeKe play last year and thought she was very very good. But then I hear that she is much heavier than last year. Cait is the real thing. She will see lots of time for the Lady Vols. Insell got a steal in Brown and Pickel. Figured the gal from Shelbyville would have gone with him also. Tennesseean did a very good job ranking these players. Hope to see many of them in t he 'Boro in March. Where would Lanning be after that ten. I would put her as a top 20 anyway

AA 1. Dyersburg 2. Livingston Academy 3. Austin East 4. Westview 5. Loretto 6. Chester County 7. Pigeon Forge 8. Cheatham County 9. York 10. Tellico Plains

Will Dyersburg be AA or AAA? If they are AAA, then they will be tops. If not then this is my list of top ten. 1. Mt Juliet 2. Wilson Central 3. Riverdale 4. Heritage High 5. Cumberland County 6. Cleveland High 7. Jackson Northside 8. Willam Blount 9. Bradley Central 10. Smyrna
