THE KING

I'll be there with a black under armor beanie. It would be great to meet you

Appreciate it pal.

We're going to try our best pal. We sure drew a tough one

Congratulations tribe. Maybe we can meet up this week. I'm planning on staying 2 days even if we lose

15-12 cland. Sunbright came to play. They're not bad

Last time we hosted a substate game, Meigs won a thrilling 68-66 battle in an electric atmosphere

Yeah, we would definitely earn it if we win it this year. Its going to be tough for pickett and wayne just like us. Wayne is probably going to get a tough south fulton team, then will play either us or pickett the next round. Same for pickett if they have to play us and then wayne if they win.

NG beat oak ridge and Daniel Boone this season. They are a defensive nightmare and stall the ball. If they get a lead, it's all but over.

Our D would have to play really well to beat Pickett. We're not as good as them offensively. I would rather have Wayne in the first round than Pickett

North greene could make the championship game after we beat them 4 times

I just seen the pairings. Total bs. You've got us, Pickett, and Wayne County on one side of the bracket. NG has a better chance to make the championship game than we do. We would potentially have a first round square off with Emmy Lowe, Callie Reeder, and Zoe Nicholas arguably the best trio of players in 1a. If we win that one, we get another date against miss basketball Blair baugus.

Don't they have to know who's going to be there before they make brackets?

Not many region 2 posters on here. From the games I've watched on Morgan County today, I think they play with a ton of effort. Skill wise, we have a big advantage but skill doesn't always beat hustle. We'll have to play hard and under control. Their pg is Addison Shannon and she's the top ball handler. They also start an 8th grader, #21 who is tall and long. #15 is another big post who can score. I would say most of the region 2 teams are comparable to Washburn. Sunbright and Midway are a little better. I know we played Midway back in the summer without 3 of our starters and won by 3

Midway will struggle because they won't get any second chances on offense. Miller will get every board and they will control every possession. It'll be similar to what they did to Washburn as I think that team is similar skill wise to Region 2.

We were torched by Hannah Smith. When my girls were in jr high, we played against her and Makenzie McClain in the area championship. I said right then that when these girls get blended in with the older girls at their respective high schools, then we'll be treated to some great basketball. I hope people don't think we're going away after this season. We've got 3 underclassmen who made all conference and Abby Clawson stepped up big last night. Miller couldn't do anything against her. That was a preview to next year's matchup. The terrors are going to be working hard during the off-season to add some moves to their tool bag. I told everyone during the preseason that this year's team will benefit from the underclassmen. We didn't have that scenario last year.

I made my picks on who makes state and as long as van Buren loses to clay, I'll get them right. Pickett and Wayne are the 2 top teams. Everyone else could be really close matchups.

We play sunbright Saturday night who is an uptempo team. I wonder how Matt will approach this game as we play both styles of ball. Last night we decided to play NG at their own game with 2 minute possessions but I think we play with more flow in transition and our freshman is more dangerous when we run.

They are the best in A. It'll be a tragedy if they draw Wayne first lol. That's the one team who could beat them

Yes but our 26 points was mostly self inflicted. At least 12 easy shots missed.

Exactly. We were on the receiving end at Hampton. That was a brutal send off after we lost and their student section is twice the size of ours. We never complained once. It's part of the game.

I forgot to put Boone in there now that they have Flores.

Y'all have the best team in the upper East. I've got Y'all then Crockett, us and Betsy. I think etown and cland are close. They've gotten much better later in the season.

We'll miss you bud, but you're doing the right thing.

I don't think there's any hate. The programs do have some beef but the respect is still there. I think it will be a physical game tonight and I'm OK with that as long as there's no unnecessary diving into knees. Just keep it clean on both sides and see who comes out on top.

Well it's championship night. Everyone who knows me in person knows I will be sitting quietly in the stands with my arms crossed. Win or lose, I'm there just to watch my kids play ball. I honestly didn't think they would help much their freshman and sophomore years but Eowyn McCoury is closing in on 100 points this year and I couldn't be more proud. They go out there and give their best and they know I'm not going to be critical on the way home. We always move on to what's next. Our girls with the knee braces have worked hard to get back and give us fans a reason to smile again. We have another who is having surgery tomorrow so remember her in your thoughts and prayers.
