It's not complicated. What CA does is not an even playing field with public schools. Bottom line. Really very simple. As you have acknowledged, there are multiple players who were huge pieces of your team that are not CA kids. You still have a good team without them but not a championship team. Public schools can't have a kid from Giles Co. come join the team without moving into their school zone. Facts. You have a bus that drives into other counties to pick up students. Nothing disrespectful to the players or coaches. They were there most complete single A team in the state. No doubt. Great team. Well coached. But the team was not constructed like every other team in the state. Don't try to argue around it. Just own it. Take your gold ball home. Then work hard to win another after this year while playing on an actual LEVEL PLAYING FIELD against D2 schools starting next season.

From watching yesterday, Houston is a little better more well rounded team. No real weakness.

In his defense it was an easy assumption based on Moore County having a crowd of parents at the game where a vast majority act like absolute fools. Most disrespectful group of fans towards their own coach I have ever seen. Embarrassing. And I have no dog in the fight. Impartial 3rd party observer.

Either of these teams can and probably will defeat Clay County in substate.

The Key argument is funny. The kid is a great basketball players. He would start for every team in the state. At any level. The competition he plays against is weak on most nights. But the other side of that coin is that his supporting cast is not strong. Teams are able to effectively double and triple team him (assuming the opposing coach has any idea what he is doing-unlike poor Loretto yesterday). And that doesn't allow him to utilize one of his strengths as a player. He has great vision and is a great passer. When he is in college, surrounded by other talented players, his game will shine.

Nailed it! Got any stock suggestions for me? PS- Just messing with you.

Recently, that has absolutely been the case. This season 9A is the toughest district in single A.

Summertown will not beat Community. But if Summertown is playing at home for Substate they will not be playing Community, most likely. Very likely that 2 teams from 9A make state tournament.

Who do you think played in last year's Championship game? It was DCR vs Eagleville. So a rematch will be impossible. I can only imagine you were thinking it was FCS maybe. They went 0-2 at last years State Tournament.

I am not a fan of either school. I was at the game and it was a complete injustice for a game with so much meaning to end with such poor judgement by the official. The kid in question should have already recieved a technical foul. That was the first mistake the crew made. He had shown overtly physical disgust at multiple calls and mouthed and shrugged at the officials on a couple of occasions. I only assume they let those slide with warnings in an attempt not to 'influence' a game that was back and forth the entire second half. So to then make the call that they did at then end of the game is ridiculous. Of all the instances this player had during the game this was by far the least deserving. He was walking towards the bench and not looking at or motioning towards any of the officials. He obviously mouthed something walking towards his bench and a ref from the other side of the scorers table saw it. Sad way to end such an exciting hard fought basketball game between two very talented basketball teams.

Oops...are Riverside and South Pitt going to play in the losers bracket. Is that what you meant? Because SP found out how good Single A baseball is in the Mid-state tonight.

Reading comprehension is overrated. My post said that Hollins was the best player, which is also what your post said. We said the same thing.

If you watched this game and the 2nd half did not leave you with the opinion that Hollins was the best player on the floor then it would be in your best interest to not do player evaluations.

These are a little fudged
