Middleton will be a handful. Their PG is really good and can go. They beat Memphis Business in the regular season last year. I seen them twice this spring and they will be good. Richland I hear beat South Gibson in Wayne County so they are obviously good. Jackson County dropped to 1A and they are in the TN Report's top 5. They had a good summer I hear. Coalfield lost their PG but they were impressive at state last year. Pickett lost their coach but always are good as well as Clarkrange. Be interesting for sure.

Daniel Boone, Northview, Upperman and White County all will be good. AAA will be like AA a couple of years ago. Single A I would expect to see some of the same one's from last year there at state.

Didn't misinterpret any thing. He was throwing our players under the bus saying they weren't trying and then made a comment like Westview's jersey was in GC and Union City's head. My comment was that Westview has tons of talent especially with the transfers that have came in. Sure wasn't we choked out with the talent they had last year. I don't know if he is a South Gibson Fan or a Westview Fan but this is a message board and I for one am going to defend my school.

A one time transfer rule don't mean you can make contact and influence. Rules still in place. The rule in place now is not as easy as thought. Teams are going to be watching and paying attention. Even if the law is passed GC won't be the one's jumping in another yard trying to get players. This is a general statement so teams that are doing it don't freak out. Poster just said GC has a mental block against Westview. Just pointed out they have lots of talent three of which were teansfers. Just telling the facts here. People start making comments about GC obviously need to know some facts. I know all about the three girls. I just said they were transfers and it is 110% accurate so there you go. Not a whole lot goes unknown in the basketball world. The poster from Westview or South Gibson or wherever they are from I think got the message.

You said Gibson County had to get over a mental hump with Westview. I take that as a real friendly way of saying they choked and there is a difference when a school picks up a Miss Basketball Candidate before the season and added to a roster that is already good. I don't call it choking or a mental hump I call it out talented. Gibson County needs to play better I will agree. Turnovers were a problem last year. Didn't see a ton of that this summer. We have 3 PG's that will be on the floor at the same time. Union City and Westview will be good I agree and it will be a great three team race. I thought Gibson County played well last year at the end of the year. Got beat by Memphis Business Academy at their place at the buzzer. Same team lost to York at the end of the game by 1 at state. Memphis Business Axademy likely the most talented team in AA and very well could be the preseason number 1. I just take offense of saying my team has a mental block losing to a team that was loaded.

Northview was very impressive last year. I think their draw cost them last year. They played South Side and Dyersburg and then Heritage. South Gibson, South Side and Dyersburg only two will go from the west. Will be a dogfight for sure. Like I said earlier, if South Gibson don't learn to score they won't make it to state. Will be interesting for sure.

Jada Hart, Jasmine Bailey and Kaitlyn Patterson the first two being PG's are all good guards and can handle ball pressure and are good players. Raven Wells will be a good post. There were games this summer where any one of the one's I mentioned were in double figures. Gibson County will control TO's much better this year and they will press more and get back to playing faster. AA is down across the board. I have been all over watching ball. Alcoa jumped to AAA and Jackson County moved down. to A. No telling who wins it this year. I agree Union City, Westview and Gibson County will be a dogfight and must see basketball. Poster insuated that Gibson County has a mental block against Westview. Well give me Maddie Gray and we line up last year and they wouldn't have won a game. Let's see how Westview does this year. Their starting five last year had three transfers in it. Rogers from Obion, Trevathon from Greenfield and Gray from South Fulton. Looks like they swung and missed with the girl from Florida this year so let's see how they do playing with kids from Westview. Gibson County has a really good 7th grade class this year.I have done learned you play with what you got and work them hard and develop them and see what happens. Just keep battling and see what happens. I like our team this year. Very athletic. Every year is the same with injuries and can be catistrophic to any. I watched GC all summer long. South Side and GC was very evenly matched and was a classic war.We had some quality wins this summer. Beat Huntingdon, Henry County, Bowling Green, Liitle Rock Central as well as a couple other quality Kentucky Teams. Westview's talent pool may not be what it has been without transfers the next few. And as far as Wilkins riding off into the sunset, where do y'all seem to think he will leave?? Wilkins is a healthy dude and he loves basketball and loves coaching. I wouldn't be suprised if he coaches a few more years. He loves the game and loves every minute of coaching.

We have 2 PG's that will be added to the lineup and another guard and all are athletic and can handle ball pressure. Gibson County beat Westview 4 times in 2024. Westview brought in a Miss Basketball Candidate from South Fulton last year and you want to say Gibson County has a mental hump against Westview. I tell you what you put her on Gibson County's squad and Westview would have had a mental hump. Here is a fact. They wouldn't have won it without her last year. Last I looked Gibson County has played with who we got on our campus. Let's see how Westview does this year with who they got on their campus. I do think they will be pretty good but I don't like shots being taken at my school especially from Westview.

We played South Side this summer and it went into OT and we lost on a last second shot. I thought our girls handled their pressure as well as we have in a while and that is the reason I think we will have a really good ball handling team. South Gibson will have their hands full with Dyersburg and South Gibson has never beat South Side. Back to what I was saying South Gibson needs another ball handler especially if they have to play South Side in a do or die game and handle their pressure. As far as who wins our Region, it will be must see basketball for sure and like I said I like our team. I like your team as well. Huntingdon is loaded 5 in and 5 out and you got a great Junior High Team. Huntingdon Fans are going to have a whole lot of fun the next 5 or 6 years. Loretto is really good this year. I got to watch them in Brentwood. They got a Freshman Guard that can go. Going to be a fun year.

South Gibson better get ready to battle in the deep end because South Side and Dyersburg will be a challenge. They will have to beat Dyersburg in the District Finals to avoid South Side in the Region. South Gibson better find another guard that can handle pressure and score to take pressure off of Dunn. They need to learn to score to take it to another level. They scored 29 and only lost by 7 last year at state. As far as Westview and Union City, they will be pretty good but Gibson County might have the best ball handling team we have had in a while this year with four guards on the floor with 3 PG's. We have 3 seniors with tons of experience. I really love this team this year. Looks like Westview lost out to the girl from Florida to USJ. Unless something happens they will have 1 player back with meaningful minutes. I know they will be competitive for sure but they will have their hands full.

We ran into her at a camp I want to say it was Bethel.

So who got Elizabethton and North Green players?? We ran into Elizabethton last summer and they were down big time . Coalfield looked really good at state. Wouldn't suprise me if they are real good without the PG. They could play. Greenfield will be good. But I don't know other than them if anyone can compete with the teams I mentioned. I like Greenfield's team. They have a lot of really good young players that can play. Have a great culture. They will be around a while. Loaded.

I would imagine she won this award at last years State Tournament. Yeah it is supposed to not count but all the voters got a great chance to watch her at state. She will have to have a bad year IMO this year not to win it. She put Greenfield on her back and refused to lose. Her's to lose IMO.

Appreciate it Indian. I have been out of state for about 7 days and had to reboot some stuff. Thanks
