Never been to Perry Co. HS. Wondered about its seating capacity. It makes the most sense geographically when District 12 hosts. Region has endured two years of massive travel. This region is so widespread it should be held as far north as possible in even years and as far south in odd years. Clarksburg couldn't do it but maybe 11A could work out something with Lexington next year. Just a thought.

The reason TCA was 5th & behind USJ in the 1st AP poll is because they didn't get switched to the D2A voting menu until after some members had already voted. All glitches are now fixed and this week's poll should look better.

Appreciate the kind words. Glad you get to hear games when you can't attend. Think Greenfield removed any doubt they are #1 in Class A tonight.

I have explained our process on here before but here it is again. Before the 1st poll the voters across the state share recommendations with each other so we can make a more educated vote. Media in NE Tn. did not share information on No. Greene but did recommend Tellico in the 9-10 range. Also No. Greene was not in the Top 10 SOS here on CoachT so believe that's why they were overlooked. I personally also leaned on Tim Lownsdale's Coaches Poll because he does a good job evaluating teams across the state. He had No. Greene at #5 so I probably should've voted them somewhere. I will rectify that next week. I take voting in the AP poll very seriously and the vast majority of my colleagues do as well. We do not just look at records. Polls will always be open to disagreement but they serve a purpose and most of all that is to give the youngsters some deserved notoriety. I appreciate all input on these boards about your teams and use it in preparing for broadcasts. By the way, tonight's Greenfield-Gleason games can be heard on 101.3 WCMT beginning at 5:40.

This topic has gotten a bit confusing but I know Spanarkle knows Clarksburg. If she played at Clarksburg this year, move notwithstanding, she has an athletic record there. Would she not be ineligible for a calendar year?

Thanks GC! The Pioneer Palace has always been a great venue for tournaments, not to mention it's geographically central.

I hope so. Never thought Halls would be big enough to hold the kind of crowds 7A draws in semis & finals.

I understood from Robin Cude that the region would be at Halls this year. Does someone know differently?

We begin to vote in the AP poll after 1st of year.

The Bradford-Gleason rivalry from that time was something special. May never see a run of two teams again like that for such an extended period. David Russell & Randy Frazier are two of the best ever on the sidelines. As far as any "best ever" discussion, it's so hard to compare teams from different eras. The Darby's mother, Kasi Knott Darby was a part of that run for Bradford and think she'd be the first to tell you it's an "apples-oranges" argument. Her daughters have had opportunities to play at a high level on the AAU circuit that players didn't have in the 90's. The game has evolved. I would agree with GCPioneer's comment that started the discussion. "On paper" Greenfield is at least the best assemblage of talent in West Tennessee I've seen in Class A in my 40 years of broadcasting basketball. Can't speak for other parts of the state.

Foul plagued game that kept both teams out of a good flow. Hart never got untracked offensively but played a great game on defense when she was in there. Dresden's defense lost Bass early on and she lit it up from beyond the arc to build an early lead. Dresden defense shored up and held GC to 2 field goals 2nd half. Wynn had trouble finishing inside but Childress was deadly on the mid-range jumper. She's taking her game to another level this year. Both teams will improve as they're young kids off the bench get more experienced. Good early season matchup and possible preview of post-season. Good road win for Lady Pioneers.

Tonight's game can be heard on Mix 101.3 WCMT beginning with the pre-game at 5:40. Listen online at WCMT.com and click on the "Listen Now" icon and is also available on the Thunderbolt app if you already have it downloaded.

Lake Co. could be the surprise team in 7A this year. Some good players returning, led by Jaramiah Polk. Longtime girls coach Bret Johnson is back on the sidelines with the boys team, most of which do not play football so won't have much of the "sport transition."

Westview Showcase Girls Games Friday Dec. 6th 4:00 Greenfield vs St. Agnes (G) 7:00 Gleason vs Covington (G) 8:30 South Fulton vs Westview (G) Saturday Dec. 7th 2:30 St. Agnes vs Gleason (G) 4:00 Loretto vs Greenfield (G) 5:30 Gibson County vs Westview (G)

Agreed. The dearth of charters/magnets opening, especially in Memphis has skewed Class A & thus affected the other two classes as well.

Don't pull a Bama! Rest those Studs even if its the 1st half!

Quan was on with Paul and I missed it! I will be there next Saturday. It's LC & Roundball now!

Did the donkey male an appearance down at The Swamp today? Poor Vandy. Hate it for them but got em' a dose of Gator.

The game will be on WCMT Mix 101.3

You will see more pass-run balance then you think out of Westview. They have an outstanding back in Taylor. McConnell's offensive scheme is hard to defend. Falcons/Chargers should be a great matchup in Tiptonville.

That is correct. Dezmon Johnson was the only senior in lineup.
