    Tell me why girls basketball coaches and fans in West TN will like it. Hadn’t done Gibson County any favors with the four classes having to go across the river to play in Region and in sub-state bracket with schools possibly three hours away. You got a Memphis set of teams that don’t show up half the games and don’t play and forfeits games and yet they get three districts. From what I have seen the number of teams in AA and AAA will increase so that means possibly more tough teams in AA that are on the border. What could possibly be good news for West TN who has a ton of AA and AAA teams??? I am lost here. I guess you are trying to be funny and sarcastic because there is nothing good about it. All it is doing is creating an unfair playing field for AA and AAA to pad their pockets at state. 

    With the size of AA districts increasing, Memphis should go back to two districts and one region. That should return rural West Tn. back to the old Region 7 with NW teams like Westview/Gibson Co. coming together with SW teams like Adamsville/Riverside. Bradley does a good job of explaining the proposals that will be discussed next week. Not perfect, but I agree with posters on the boys board. It's the best I've seen since classification began.

    They never do. They look for the good record and high ranks. Will not schedule tough opponents

    Guess that's why they are in Arizona, playing in the Nike Tournament of Champions. Oh and their scheduled game with McKenzie was postponed because both schools were playing for state football championships.

  16. Favorites in Class A

    Posted · Edited by NWhoopaholic

    Hope this thread is headed back to it's intended purpose now, discussing who will be among the Best in Class A for the 21-22 season. That's the information I want to know. Debating the best ever has been done before, belongs in its own thread, and stirs a lot of passion. I wouldn't say any fan group has tunnel vision about their team but most all are inherently biased toward their school.

    Greatest or best ever is such a subjective term. Different people quantify their opinions based on different criteria. To some it's the number of future collegiate players and the school's they go to. Others look at number of wins and strength of schedule. To some it's whether they captured the gold ball. An argument can be made for all of the teams that have been mentioned. I would also agree it's impossible to compare teams from different eras. Tess and Edie Darby have had so many more opportunities than their mother's teams did at Bradford. It doesn't make modern necessarily "better" but more "seasoned."

    I've had the blessing of broadcasting games of all of the teams from West Tennessee mentioned in this thread. The Heather Butler led teams at Gibson Co. were loaded and benefited from two of the best coaches ever, Kevin McMillan & David Russell. They had some epic battles with really good Westview teams, however that was AA and this debate was about Class A. The Bradford-Gleason rivalry of the 1990's was really special. I would tend to agree with GBO that the 96' Gleason team may have been arguably Randy Frazier's best. I got to call Lake County's upset win at the "Devils Den" in South Fulton and it was a shocker. So some of the greatest didn't even make it to Murfreesboro. The recent Greenfield teams were very successful and might have been even more if some things had been different.

    I look forward to being back on the sidelines this season after sitting out last year. I'm excited about how the new classifications will create some new rivalries and matchups and allow us to see some new teams. Members, keep sharing about your teams for the upcoming season.

    I'm gonna give you a big headache.....you ready?

    Because SCS didn't play last year it's all wide open. Kids can now transfer anywhere they want and play right away.

    I believe he's referring to the fact that players have now gone a year without an athletic record so they would be eligible to "relocate" to any school in the state.

    What’s the most attractive job of the 5?

    Don't undervalue Bolivar's situation beginning next season. Don't know what's happened to the talent in Hardeman Co. recently, with Middleton also falling off, but Bolivar's had success in past and benefits from reclassification. With all the obvious powers in the new AA to the east of them, Bolivar may have the clearest path to reaching Murfreesboro of the five jobs.

    Hello NWhoop...I have a favor to ask of you. I statrted a Miss Basketball thread on CoachT months ago and have invited anybody to nominate player there. I have been putting information on Oak Ridge Lady Wildcats Khamari Mitchell-Steen in that thread all season long. Some others have also put names of candidates worthy of Nomination.

    Please check that thread out and consider Mitchell-Steen ( Oak Ridge ), Miller of Stone Memorial, the Maryville girl and several others.

    Please notice that Mitchell-Steen is avraging 9.5 rebounds this season as a guard. That testifies to her relentless agressive winning style of basketball. You can see a lot of Khamari's game by going to YouTube. look for prep radio and click on any Oak Ridge Lady Wildcats streams. Tonight at 6PM they are streaming the OR vs Clinton games.

    Thank you!!!!

    Thanks Willie. Following that thread as well.

    Fair enough.  I didn't mention a team not belonging on the list.  I only question what metric they are using to determine who DOES belong on the list.  I first thought that  It appears that it is the win losses record.   But then I looked at that and Its obvsiously not all about the record.  I mean you can be on the list and not have a winning record apparently.  Just makes no sense to me.  Publish the votes.  That would make it interesting for sure.  

    As one of the AP voters, I've explained numerous times over the years how we attempt to put a legitimate poll together. Before the 1st poll we e-mail each other with recommendations on teams in our area. Then as the season progresses updated suggestions are made. Pollsters obviously have always been limited in who they could see in person and this season is even worse. All media outlets that are members of the Associated Press are eligible to vote but some do not participate. Thus some areas don't get as much "love" as others. Being a former coach I know championships are won on the floor but the poll gets kids some recognition they might not otherwise get. My suggestion would be if your team is not in the Top 10, and you think they deserve to be, check if your local media are voting. If not ask them why. The following are media outlets that voted this week.

    Chattanooga Times Free Press, Chattanooga; The Leaf-Chronicle , Clarksville; Cleveland Daily Banner, Cleveland; The Daily Herald, Columbia; State Gazette, Dyersburg; The Jackson Sun, Jackson; Johnson City Press, Johnson City; Times News, Kingsport; The Knoxville News Sentinel, Knoxville; The Commercial Appeal, Memphis; The Daily News Journal, Murfreesboro; WCMT, Martin
