Siegel controlled tempo throughout, pushing when they needed to and working the offense when it helped. Big thing I noticed was Siegel got almost ALL the loose balls, radio announcers touched on it too. Their size didn't hurt us on the boards at all. Up 12-7 after one courtesy of a couple 3's. Second quarter was important I thought. Gooch had a couple of monster plays, one a dunk that brought the house down I believe and another play where Hammonds took off from the free throw line almost was fouled and somehow got the ball to the rim and bounced in. Got up by as many 16 in the 3rd. Got sloppy and Antioch cut it to 7 but never got closer. Gooch sealed it with another dunk with about 3 minutes to go. Siegel hit the big 3s when they needed them and aside from a couple of hiccups from Cutter, hit their free throws at the end. Antioch was god awful from the free throw line 8-20. Cutter was not even the leading scorer til near the end with Free throws. Tate, Gooch, Mitchell led the way most of the night. People said Cutter and Hammonds needed to go off for Siegel to win. Well neither did and neither did Montori yet Siegel still won, scary to think about. Great game plan and ever better execution from a team that didn't let the big stage get to them. This team is playing as good as any in the state right now. Crazy to think as sophomores with 2 seniors, they have gotten just as far as the famed Siegel quartet from 2 years ago. Here is the box score http://tssaa.org/2007Champions/StateBBaske...ssAAA/game3.htm

I like my crow with a nice appetizer, caesar salad, and maybe a cold one to finish up...But I'm not going to be picky...however you want to eat your crow, it is just fine with me Congrats Siegel.

1:38 to go Siegel 58 Antioch 47

47-40 end of 3rd. Come on Stars.

Siegel up 30-20 at half.

Siegel up 12-7 after 1

The environment at UT is no different than players at every other SEC program. They just don't get the preferential treatment that other schools get. And I don't think it was behavior issues that cost him. Fulmer wasn't even aware of him until Shadowens recommended that he should take a look at him. He dominated his senior season mainly..thats another reason. Watson doesn't exactly help his players in recruiting...at all. And starfan...just stop. Saying that is the most idiotic comment in this whole thread. White Station would have gone undefeated most likely in 7-AAA.

I may be out of town but TJ Mitchell did NOT start every game last year. He started playing alot more when Montori got kicked off. But in November and December he was not a big contributor.

I did not know Tate played at Cookeville on varsity on last year. Hammonds played one game and got hurt. Gooch played some but I wouldn't call him experienced after last year. And TJ Mitchell is also a sophomore who saw some time at the end of last year but not too much.

Bolivar shows up. Not students as much as everyone else.

Siegel has gone through alot of phases this year. 3 of their starters are sophomores who had no experience of varsity before this year. You could see them start to get comfortable and gain confidence as the year went on. They hit their stride perfect when the tournaments started and started playing up to their potential. And when they did, no team has been able to beat them since. We know Antioch is comparable in talent, it will depend on how Siegel responds early with a young team and how well Antioch is playing I doubt Siegel can hang if Antioch is playing at their peak. If they are playing average and Siegel plays like they have been, there could be an upset.

What is that supposed to mean WCBalla? 3 Region Titles in 4 years 3 state appearances in 4 years for Siegel. Considering the school is in its 5th year of existence, I'd say they are well on their way to topping any school in the state. Don't know how many schools can claim those statistics. Not to mention Siegel starts 3 sophomores so this isn't some fluke for them. They will be a basketball power for a while in TN.

If Antioch plays up to their level. They win by about 16. But it is state, weird things can happen. Teams go cold, Teams get hot, Some teams seem to have the IT factor. On Paper, Antioch should win comfortably. But Siegel is playing their best ball of the season in a home game at Murphy Center with a team that seems to have the moxy to pull an upset like this. I'm not optimistic as a Siegel fan, but its possible.

Its not going to be that bad. Things can happen at Murphy Center. Teams can't adjust to the arena style. Rims are not as forgiving there etc. Antioch will probably win comfortably...but I doubt its some 40 point win.

Tough Draw for Siegel

Tough One for a young siegel team.

see ya. This board isn't for mudslinging and calling each other thugs and twits when your called one name that isn't even that offensive. All it means is that your winning.

Siegel beating White County was a culmination of things. Montori + Hammonds + tournament time If they play 10 times when both at full strength. 8 of those would be decided by 10 points or less I say, probably 6-4 one way. The way the system works helped Siegel, hurt White County.

As a Siegel fan.... Please give us anyone besides Antioch or Ridgeway first round and I'll be happy. Those are the 2 teams nobody wants to draw first. The others seem to be fairly close with the way they are playing this time of year.

They did beat Siegel 3 times this year? Its just the way the brackets work out that Siegel is going and White County isn't.

I don't see how anyone but Antioch can be considered the favorite. They haven't lost to a team in the state of TN. They played Duncanville, TX within 10 points and they are the most talented team in Texas with several 4 and 5 star players.

Red Bank AAA

Siegel up 23-16 after the 1st quarter for anyone interested in actual basketball.

Who says I go to an out of state school? And I used to see randymc weekly, have no reason to dislike him. I could confront him at any time if I had a problem with him so scratch that one off Taylor. And if you remember at one time you agreed with most of what I said 2p, so where do you get this conspiracy theory that I was out to get you? I can guarantee you it was not me that was dying to find out who you are, because like I said, it made no difference to me. But you know who was and it wasn't for any ill will at the time, he just wanted to know who the guy was that was so supportive of him. You even mentioned his name. And I never state anything as fact unless it is to my knowledge. If its second hand info that I have, I state that. My opinions are my opinions, free to state them just like your dislike for me. If your opinions don't line up with those so be it, we disagree. Sorry you take this message board for more than it is, just a message board. Maybe you have some vendetta, tdntn, because of stuff with your brother during basketball but I'm still cool with him to this day and still talk. But you are seriously misguided if you think I consider the way I present and try to change to mold that. Looking for something that isn't there if that is the case and clearly don't know me if you think I have some sort of ego or "swagger" in anyway.
