Cookeville wins!

Cookeville is for real people! Great win! On to the ship!!!

AA has the 4 best teams squaring off in the semis. It doesn’t always happen this way but the draw in this case was exactly how it should be with the 4 best AA teams left. May the best team win

Agreed! Upperman will be able to play with whomever wins this game.

Cheating at its finest. Does anyone have info on where all the recruits are from?

Well the school was closed down and part of it was because they got caught cheating by the TSSAA so they had to forfeit all of their football championships. I don’t know what they did about basketball, but they should’ve had to forfeit them as well because it was the same group of kids, same group of parents that we’re doing it. I don’t blame the kids at all. I blame the parents and the administration because they knew exactly what they were doing. This school is built in that same mold. They are doing the exact same things that Temple was doing. They are recruiting from all over Chattanooga, Hamilton county even Georgia and anywhere else they can get kids in and then they are playing against division 1 schools. it’s not gonna happen this year probably not next year, but eventually it will come out, and the same thing will happen to this school. It’s an unfair advantage, and that is why they have separate classifications. One for privates and one for public schools. This school is pretending to be a public school but they are operating as a private school when it comes to sports. This coaching carousel they have with the brothers switching places,the personal trainer thing going on, is shady. If it walks like a duck …

Another Tennessee Temple. They will have to forfeit this gold ball just like Temple did. There’s no way this team is legal and abiding by the rules of T$$AA. I was told they added a player either in the region tournament or at substate. Someone said he was very tall. This is a private school playing in Div 1. it’s amazing as to what length adults will go to to win a gold ornament I said the same thing about Temple back in 06. everybody from Chattanooga got on there and called me a hater and all kinds of stuff but at the end of the day I was proven right they were cheating and this team is following in those footsteps. This is the same exact school building that temple was in and they are taking a page out of their book as to how to recruit kids while in Div 1.

Appreciate that. Douglass is just a different animal this year. I’ve watched some film on them and they are crazy good. #3 is a player

Maryville seems to have athletes upon athletes so they definitely have a chance. Just think Cookeville too good this year.

Hopefully you’re right. Would hate to see them waltz through unscathed.

Douglass is your state champion. Everyone else playing for the silver ball

Agreed

Cookeville breezes past Maryville. 20 point game. Bartlett wins by 10+ Rossview in a nail biter Independence in a toss up

Best team won. They always do

Not hardly.

Honestly I thought #1 was the best player for Dburg. She hurt us more than anyone.

Best team won. Congratulations to Dyersburg

Go for the win

two best teams battling it out

No blaming. The best team will find a way to win. Regardless

She went straight up and made the shot. If that wasn’t a shooting foul none of the ones y’all have been shooting free throws on were. You know it

It’s blatantly obvious as to what’s going on in this game. Dyersburg drives gets a foul goes to the line. Upperman drives wave off the basket no shot ball out on side or worse yet no call at all. It’s pretty obvious Upperman will have to beat 8 of them to win.

I agree, even though we won it did not feel like it.

It will be interesting to see how the officiating in this game goes. Dyersburg is aggressive and physical. They slap and hit and body check their opponents so if the referees are calling it tight, Upperman will live at the foul line. If they don’t call a lot of fouls, I see a lot of fast break opportunities for Dyersburg. #24 is a stud. They need to keep the ball out of her hands and keep her off the boards as much as possible

I would have loved to have seen the matchup between Dyersburg and White county in that semifinal game
