Riverdale did it most recently.

2016

2017

2018

Bradley is a lock next year.  They graduate 4 starters in 2025, so a 4peat probably won't happen.

Chad Hibdon?

Oh yeah, Bradley Central does not win this game without her no way no how. 

Did any of the Coffee County girls grow up outside of Coffee County?

Bradley is guaranteed money I would never doubt them    One of the best TN HS girls teams I have seen in 30 years.  

3 better teams I've seen.

1. Riverdale 2017 (USA Today National Champions)

2. Hamilton Heights 2020 (2 McDonald's All Americans)

3. Webb Bell Buckle 2023 (5 Power 5 kids)

How did the matchup down low go?

I did not get to watch the game.  Kimora dominates everyone though, but Channah is big and can move.

Can I get a wager on this?  I’ll take Coffee County +23. 

That first game at Bradley was played without elite D1 athlete Harmonie Ware.  I will give you 23.

Be easy on my buddy Joe Pat (head coach for CC) tomorrow.  I think they will at least make y’all work up a good sweat. 

Bradley by 23.  I am intrigued by the Gannon vs Fields matchup.

It doesn’t matter.  You play who you get paired with.  
 

Go Bearettes.  

How did they get screwed? If you seeded it Bradley would be 1 and Clarksville would be 7th at best with Lincoln County 8th.

I'm watching DB and coffee right now.  Coffee is for real 

Have you seen Bradley?

My picks:

Bartlett -10

Cleveland -6

Coffee -13

Bradley -28

Not a doubt in my mind we win it all.

I know those are Cleveland middle kids, that’s why I said they are from Bradley County. Even without Stovall I think the trio of Ware, Fields and Brewer are good enough to win the Gold Ball. The margin of error would be smaller, but likely still favorites. 
 

Would have been nice for Cleveland to have that Ware/Hurst combo. 

Might have changed the landscape of basketball in the community for sure.

They still win without her

That's a stretch.  She is a power 5 athlete who guards the other team's best player.  If you take her off this team they would be vulnerable.  With her though, they are a lock.  Two other starters and a bench player are from Cleveland Middle School.  (That is not a Bradley Central feeder school).  Cleveland would be the favorites with a Ware/Hurst combo.

Not as good but still good.

Sometimes you can be a great coach and just lose to a better team.  This is all situational subjectivity.  I know some terrible coaches with gold balls and the best coach I have ever known never won one.

They aren’t losing. They’re on a different level right now. Impressive. 

Cleveland did expose their kryptonite a little bit tonight.  If a team has the athletes to turn them up with heavy pressure for an entire game they could lose.  McMinn Central did it and played them tough twice.  Bartlett can really press you and is the only team with a chance.  I don't see them losing or even being challenged.

Bradley probably wins this one big tonight.  They are gelling and peaking at the right time.

Then you should know his focus is always on himself and only worries about things that help elevate him. He consistently gets out-coached and only worries about recruiting people to his team. But the most interesting thing is you think he is a “great man” LAUGHABLE!

Kid couldn't play huh.  Thought so.  Also saw how you cowardly attacked Coach Parrott too.  Maybe you just have something against coaches.  You must have been a player that wasn't good enough to play either.  Get in the arena.  Don't just sit in the stands and criticize.

I’m only speaking truth regarding the talent Justin has chosen to ride over the years. The year he FINALLY won a title (got out coached two other times) he had one player from Lenoir City and two from TKA he brought in to help win the Gold Ball. All three went on to play college ball. Just weird they all just ended up on the same team. Just saying that when the talent is equal… he is always looking for answers to his shortcomings as a coach. And to that idea of him “being a family man teaching more than basketball” shows me you just simply don’t know him.

So are you a disgruntled parent or related to a player that wasn't good enough to play at Bearden?  Did it ever occur to you that good players transfer all the time?  Maybe those really good players simply wanted to be a part of a great program with a great coach.  You are a keyboard cowboy who don't have the guts to say who you are and just bash people from the safety of your computer desk.  I talk to Justin about every day, so I'm quite certain I know him much better than you.  Get a life.
