Girls basketball is in need of a shot clock for sure! They get up 2 and they are milking the clock. It’s boring anyways but once they start the weave up top it’s nap time for me.

He’s way better than Tn Tech. They have no chance at Cobb. I see him in the SEC or at the very least a very good mid major.

The sledding will be a little tougher in AAA. Hopefully we can play them in Baxter for the next substate game in 2026.

Tullahoma is a very good team. It’s imperative that Chaffin and Johnson play their best game tomorrow. They need to attack the basket and get to the foul line. Tullahoma played a near perfect game in the region championship. They were 100% from the foul line and shot lights out from everywhere inside the gym! I’d be looking at the game film from the substate matchup to see how that team was able to hold them down.

I’ve watched Cobb play since he was in the 6th grade. He’s just better than everyone else always has been. He demands double teams and he still wins against those. Upperman brought the A game today. This was a team win. Chaffin and Johnson battled down low all day and the guards made enough plays to keep Greeneville honest. On to the ship!

Just follow the money. No way these two schools should be in Class A. No matter what their enrollment says

I don’t think Alcoa is doing anything illegal. They don’t have to do they look for players absolutely just like the rest of us and it’s only gonna get worse now that it’s basically legal for kids to transfer. Penny Hardaway had an illegal recruiting ring going on in Memphis at Memphis East. That’s been proven. The guy was sending out vans all over the county to pick up these kids and take them to school. Since he’s left, you don’t even hear about that program anymore. So it does happen but like I said it’s going to be a case of the haves and the have nots and that’s just the way of the world. However, coaching will still be a big part of it. If you don’t have a good head coach, you still might not be successful to a point of winning championships. I can show you one Girls program in middle Tennessee that has had great players and nothing to show for the last two or three years.

No hold on a second. You’re trying to tell us Alcoa does NOT recruit? Really? You know yourself that is total BS. How many new impact players do they have show up year in and year out from other programs? They have people gleaming these youth leagues looking for talent every year brother. So yeah they 1000% recruit not saying the head coach does but this program is consistent in its search for talent and yes some just show up that happens at every school from time to time but at Alcoa it’s a common occurrence for the football program. The basketball program has been the beneficiary of two way athletes. Now having said all that if the transfers are done legally then I’m all for it. If it’s within the rules then it’s fair. Now that T$$AA passed this new rule allowing kids to transfer it’s truly going to be a case of the haves as the have nots unfortunately.

Clearly, this is adults using children to advance their own agenda. What the real question is.. why? You’ve got a few adults that have put together a sham school with individuals claiming they are a teacher, however, lack the accreditation from the state to even give out a passing grade that qualifies for graduation. Someone stands to gain a lot of money. I don’t know who that is, but they are not doing this for the kids. I’d be interested to know the individuals who started this new school and what their background is. If you’re not teaching mathematics and geography, biology, etc. what are you teaching? Are we teaching DEI? I’d be curious to know because they are not enhancing any of these children’s lives by cheating the system and teaching that cheating is OK.

It will be interesting to see how Greeneville decides to play Cobb. My guess is they face guard try to keep the ball out of hands as much as possible, but that’s nothing new. It’s about time Upperman brings their A game to the dance otherwise it will be game over.

Maybe… but Tullahoma played a near perfect game to beat Upperman in the region finals. Upperman didn’t get here without having good players at every position and a good bench. I agree they haven’t played their best ball on the offensive side but they have played great defense and we all know what wins championships!

I’m so glad you didn’t pick Upperman to win lol. Thanks buddy!

I told you boys from Southside to Tullahoma was a real deal. They are not playing around.

Tullahoma hit every free throw they shot against Upperman. I think they were 25 of 25 or 22 of 22 something like that. And they needed every one of them to win if these two are lucky enough to play again I see another monumental battle. However, you never know neither one of them is guaranteed anything except one more game. It’s Upperman versus Greenville. It seems like in every sport nowadays.

So my analysis in Hume Fogg is this. In a small gym where they can press and use their length I can see where they would be at a big advantage because of their length. My guess is they get a lot of run out fast breaks and layups off of their press on a smaller floor. So this the 29-3 record. When you’re ahead in the game the outside shot seems to fall much easier than when you’re trailing by 15-20 like they were against Upperman today. Put them on a big floor like today against a team like Baxter and they are a fish out of water.
