Fulton 4 Harriman 1

Are you serious?? I can proudly say that my Falcons are better than Maplewood. Fulton doesn't just have one player to check, they have 3 and 4 on a good night. Steele, Boyd, and Campbell are the best trio in the state. No one can check all 3 of them.

I am a huge Fulton fan, but the one team that has been left out of all the talk are the Carter Hornets. A team that has came on strong late in the year, were runner's up in the district and region tournament in 2 close games to the Falcons and went on the road to Sullivan East and beat them in OT. Dont count out Carter this year or next.

The way the brackets will play out is that Liberty and Bolivar will get split up and Fulton and Carter will be split up. In my opinion, those could easily be the final four in AA with Wilson and Bennett from Carter playing the way they are. Wilson will win Mr. Basketball next year. Mark my words.

I'll ignore the Fulton misspelling but on to AE and Howard.....AE finished 4th in the district. Fulton beat them by 30 twice this year. AE is not the right team to ask about someone being a pushover. This AA State Tourney has no pushovers this year, but they do have the big 3: Bolivar, Liberty, and Fulton. Fulton and Bolivar have experience and that is what will get them to the title game this year.

Might I ask how Steele isn't the best player in the state? On a team that has 3 D1 recruits, Steele had 46 points on a Carter team that is headed to the state tourney. He has averaged over 24 ppg this year and has stepped up his defense and ball-handling. Jalen is a game changer. Ask Bolivar.

How can Fulton not be considered the top team of the decade? They have 6 state tournament appearances and are defending back-to-back state champions. They played that Liberty team in the 1st round in 07 and played them tight for a half. The reason Fulton is the team of the decade because its what you have done recently. They have the best player in the state in AA and have 2 state titles in 2 years. GO FALCONS!!! GET THE 3-PEAT!!!

The fact is that Mr. Crawford is not in the running for Mr. Basketball and Mr. Steele is. Jalen carried his team when Galen Campbell was hurt and in the Region championship game where he had 46 points. Steele is a big time player that hits the big shot when he needs to. A perfect example would be the State semifinals over Bolivar where he hit a shot to win it. Steele is the most deserving player in the state of Tennessee and he should win it next week. Steele will be a 3-time defending State Champion, 2-time State Tournament MVP, and a Mr. Basketball winner. Go Falcons!
