Greenback getting a new coach will probably set them back early.Hopefully with the return of so many very good Srs they may overcome but we have no idea how good this new guy is.The old coach had alot of faith in him,so we will see.

Looks like greenback softball is really good this year.  It may be cland and the lady kees in substate.

Sick because she didn't win it??  Or sick good player?? We haven't had any luck with Miss Basketball Awatds in the past. Heather Butler went 70-1 with back to back Titles in 2009 and 2010 in AA and got looked over. She is the all time leading scorer in the OVC with 2700 points and didn't win it. Reese is a player. Either won from the East could have won it. About Micah you might not know. She is the all time leading scorer at Gibson County High School, she won all state all four years, her numbers are against really good competition, she just has been a beast for four years, rebounding, steals, 3 point shots, jump shots off of the dribble. Bet you could ask Loretto, Summertown, South Gibson, Westview Peabody.....what player are you ready to graduate?? Micah's name would be in there a bunch. Like Jada Harrison last year. She was very hard to deal with. But anyway, good to meet you at the Glass House. Good luck to your team and your girls. Keep battling and working every day. 

I meant sick good lol.  Good to meet you too and congratulations 

Lots of deserving players but Reese would've got my vote.  That is one sick player.  I was really impressed the couple times I watched her.

I'm old and I admit it, but Cloudland has been a fixture in girls BB and football for many years. Never been there and from the other end of the state, but when you've been keeping up with HS sports for as long as I have there are names that you recognize and Cloudland is one of them.

Thanks for the respect.  I've got kids on the team and I know how hard these girls work.  They're in the gym all the time.  This next group is tight knit and have played together since they were 6.  Definitely don't need any negatively.  People either need to get behind them or sit down.

Making the basketball state tournament (final 8) in a four class system is the same as making the football playoffs (final 32) in a 6 class system?

Strongly disagree with that statement.  In football, well over 50% of teams in each class make the state playoffs.  In basketball, less than 10% of teams in each class. make it to what is considered the state tournament.  

That guy don't know anything.  If Cloudland would've been in the other bracket, they would of at least made the semifinals.  Football doesn't have a blind draw in the playoffs.  And it's much harder to get to the glass house.  A lot of good teams go home at substate.

In high school, coaches are paid to win championships?  Ok

in basketball if you make state tourney it’s a successful year for most teams.  It’s a hard accomplishment and teams and coaches should be proud of that.  No doubt every coaches goal is to win championships but in high school sports you better have some talent.  I see lots of teams in West TN that would be happy to make the region semifinals.

Finally,  someone who gets it.  We got posters on our page who never post until we get beat and they feel the need to pour salt into wounds.  

Congratulations to Pickett.  We're coming back next year to give a better performance.

I do not think the Cloudland Female Landers should have been blown out like they were by the Pickett Female Bobcats. It should not have happened. Pickett Female Bobcats were definitely the better team but Cloudland Female Landers could have done better. I guarantee it. I am Captain Guru and I approve this message.

You're right, we could've done more to make them earn it.  Hopefully we can get back down there and make it right

Good day of basketball so far. Lots of parity in 2a as we knew going in and 3a has started off well with this Cocke Co/Heritage game! 

Who called this upset today?

I think this season was set up to protect our injured girls.  Trust me, I'm vocal about a tough non district schedule.  I'd love to play Elizabethton twice and mountain heritage nc.  It'll be a different lady highlander team next year. 

I can't see the last posters comment but was told about believing next years district will be weaker lol.  If Michelle shields transfers to unaka, then that changes everything.  Coach bud and Lunsford have gotten uh playing much better. They will be a lot better.  NG loses Bailey but will return Miller and 4 guards.  We lost more than anyone.  I'd say district 1 will be much tighter next season.

It’s always a good season if you make it to state, It should like you well have some good players coming back, I think you guys need to get out of upper east TN a play some better competition, play some tough holiday tournaments. It doesn’t matter if you go 10-10 in the regular season it will make them better come tournament time. Good luck to your girls next season.

I’ll take Pickett by 3 in a dogfight. Baugus was on a mission tonight, but so was Emmy Lowe and the Lady Bobcats .
 

Who does everybody else have winning? 

It's hard to say.  I think Pickett has more in their tool bag but it's hard to bet against baugus.  Reeder is a great post but she'll have her hands full for sure

Moore Co played tough schedule ( lot of higher classification teams ) to push them over the top against a solid Clay Co team 

They were impressive.  #20 is long and athletic.  Gave clay alot of problems.  Bufford kept clay in that game 

It was an incredible season for the lady landers.  Congratulations to Pickett.  I think them and Wayne County will be a heck of a game Friday.  We've got a lot of work to do between now and November.  Replacing 3 senior starters is never easy but our chances of getting back here are still good.  Especially with the passion of next year's junior class.  It's terror time!

Well guess regular season didn't mean a thing.

No. What you post don't mean shat.  Every game means something when you're a hs kid.  They wouldn't play them all if they didn't mean something.  You could applaud these seniors for overcoming injuries so they get to play their senior season but you choose to be an #### hole

Well the latter happened for cland.  Pickett is really good.  They might take it all

I'm watching them now.  Looks like a college team.  Incredible skills in the paint

DB not going away.  44-39 1:46 left

My thoughts too. Hoping for a Lady Lander win. Hate the matchup in the first round but looking forward to watching them. 

I like the NG and Greenfield matchup.  The little pg might give you fits but I like NG chances 

I'm hoping around 12:30.  I want to watch DB

Guru, it'll go one or 2 ways.  A four quarter battle with a low score or a Pickett County blowout.
