I’m not trying to be disrespectful for anyone. But for people to still come on here and try to downplay what our teams do is ridiculous. We’ve been accused of recruiting for years now because of the fact that the school has made a push to have better athletics. I will stand by what I said about the players. Tanner Ham and Eli Hyle came here as middle schooler and freshmen respectively, and the other poster has already described the circumstance behind Eli. Gary Smith Jr is the only player on the team that actually plays that has come here after already being at another high school. When will people accept the fact that people want to come to CA, not because they’re being recruited, but because they want their child to get a good education with good people around them, and if they want, to play sports for a school that has mad strides to develop the athletics program. Marty DeJarnette is a great basketball coach and has been doing this for over 20 years. He has always done things the right way, and for people to now already discredit what he’s done because they are upset because they got beat by a private school is ridiculous. 

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.

Not what I meant. Meant all 5 haven’t had had their best games together. 1 or 2 may be off then then the other 3 on the floor have to pick it up. Should have said all 5 haven’t been in sync together. But wow you get butt hurt easy so you must be pretty tight with this coach. That only leaves 1 person you might be. Lmao!! 

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.

Not a chance!  You can’t type anything you want on this website. Neither of these teams are coming to Clay and winning a substate game. 

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. 

Not a team here that can beat Loretto or CA

Nailed it! Got any stock suggestions for me?

PS- Just messing with you.

I am sure the finalists were deserving, but I feel badly for Allen of J County. She has accomplished so much more than most could say. This season, she is a Co-MVP of District 7a and also 7a's Defensive player of the Year. Dont know the last time someone won both. To make TWSA All State Team for both Bball and Volleyball and lead your team in Points, Rebounds (as a guard primarily), Steals and Blocks. She has brought home Gold and silver in state, scored her thousandth point long ago and is nearly averaging a double double in the toughest district in 7a. 

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

Pretty sure Summertown and PC make it to substate--not a team in district 11 that can pull a win in regions. They would line up with probably Community for sure. I like Summertown chances of getting to the Boro playing a substate game at home.

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. 

Good luck to all teams playing in the state tournament this week. I personally see a rematch of last years championship game come Friday. However you never know who might play the best week of their life and be playing in the championship. Again good luck to all teams.

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.

Eagleville 16

South Pittsburgh 6

At this stage of the game no one is gonna give up. I am positive that Summertown/Friendship will be a great game. Neither of these teams will go down without a fight. Just as Riverside/South Pittsburg will be a great game. It will be interesting to see the out come of this week of baseball. Remember no matter your record, no matter if people think your teams shouldn't be here, you play one game at a time and you leave it all on the field each play!!! Best of luck to ALL the teams that got here, play your hearts out!!!

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.

Man we agree to disagree but it's all good i'm enjoying the tourney like always. Hollins had 21 in the second half and led his team to a win. For some reason fans come to the state tourney and expect players that they hear about to score 55 a game....p.s. check your player evaluations my friend

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.

Cascade @ Eagleville game time has been moved up due to the weather. The girls game will start at 4:30pm.

That is the correct ruling. If it was not tied the same thing would have happened. The game is not over until the refs leave the floor.

Told you CSAS could not handle him inside. He is very, very good in the paint.

If Clark Acad guards dont turn the ball over against the pressure then Clark Acad wins (and Smith stays out of foul trouble). CSAS does not have anybody that can guard Smith in the paint. And on a side note, CSAS does not have a significant advantage over Wayne Co. in the 'athlete' department. Wayne Co. is much more athletic than you think.

West Tennessee people claiming two west teams matched up in the first round are the 'best in the state'. Yeah thats a big surprise. The best two teams in Single A are not matched up in the first round because Clarksville Academy is one of the best two teams in Single A.

What time is this game tonight? Does the jim314 website have the games backwards?

Yes. Cascade vs. Clarksville Acd is the early game. Eagleville vs. WHH is the late game.

Didnt Hllsboro go to State a few years ago. They had the kid that is playing at Lee University now. Is that Hillsboro?

score update?
