Who are the teams to beat in your neck of the woods in Single A and Double AA?? South Pittsburg going to be good again??

They both might be playing in our Thanksgiving Tournament. I heard at one time USJ, South Side and Dyersburg were going to be there possible along with us.

They played well and showed they were mentally tough. I was impressed.

Pickett will be a handful again. They have beaten Wayne County last year after being punched in the mouth right out of the gate and beat Moore County by double digits. Clarkrange is fundamental as always and can shoot it as well. Should be interesting. Y'all have some teams that can play. Clay County can play usually. Union City will be a handful. Greenfield will likely be there as well. Pickett County will be the favorites. IMO and would be preseason number 1.

Memphis Business always has talent. Full court pressure over time seems to bother them when we played them. Moore County will have to go through Pickett County and Wayne County to win the Gold at some point. Don't think Pickett lost a lot if any as they beat Wayne County and Moore County at state last year. Wayne Counry always good too.

Westview, Gibson County and Memphis Business are in the same sectional. I haven't seen them last year or this summer but we played them 3 times in 2022-2023 and they played Westview tough last year. They always have athletes and are a challenge.

Didn't she come from Elizabethton??

No I didn't but if I am not mistaken I heard they got a real good transfer.

Just got back from Murfreesboro. Gibson County with a very successful trip. Here are some teams I watched play. Clarkrange: Always extremely tough and fundamental. Lots of shooters and guards. Didn't see any big posts but they were very well coached and fundamental as always. Should give Pickett some competition. Hadn't seen Clay County but they are usually in the mix as well. Elizabethton: Seem to be a little down for their standards but have some talent but are young. Grainger: Very scrappy and plays very aggressive full court. Lots of shooters and guards. If they had a real good post they would be real good. Smith County. Has a big post presence that will be tough for any team. Like Grainger they like to press and and get after it. A team that seems to be on the rise. Has a Freshman Transfer that just moved in who is going to be a player. Good squad. York: Beatty was on the bench but not dressed out. Was watching the Lebanon game and they have lots of talent. Lots of tall athletes that can take it to the rim and shoot it. Very good team. Don't think they lost a player from last year.

Moore County was good last year. Pickett was just real good and beat Moore and Wayne County. Probably same three teams and Union City and Greenfield will be there again this year. I do think Pickett will be preseason number 1.

Gibson County is playing players that haven't played big time varsity games and they have done well and are getting better. Watching them I am very impressed with some of the big wins. We have beaten Nettleton, AR, Brookland, AR, Calloway County, KY and Little Rock Central just to name a few. Be interesting to see what happens but summer games are about getting lots of players reps.

I think it would be awesome as both of these areas have dominated HS Girls Basketball for many years as both areas have many titles. Both areas have great talent. I would be in for it. Wilkins, Haskins, McNeal and Strayhorn need to be contacted and set up a meeting between all parties.

Yeah I heard y'all had a good one. South Side is no joke. Well coached and always gets the most out of their athletes. Loretto really good as well. Both teams will be on the short list of Gold Ball favorites for sure.

No we are playing in Missouri Wednesday and Thursday. Wish I could make it. I would may $100.00 a ticket to watch Dyersburg, South Side, White County and Upperman play in a 4 team Tournament. All four are really good teams. Any of them can beat each other on a given day I am sure. Dyersburg just crazy talent. They have five setting on the bench that would win a ton of games.

Been watching a lot of ball. Do know USJ and Westview are going to be good but hadn't seen. Also heard good things on South Gibson and Huntingdon. Dyersburg-Maybe the most talented bunch to walk the floors of West TN. Jordan and Crawford both are good enough to win Miss Basketball. They are very deep and Jr. High is loaded. My number 1 team in AAA. South Side-Askins is a special player as well who could win Miss Basketball as well. They are just so athletic and play great defense and are so well coached just another very hard team to beat. They are my number 2 team in AAA and yes they could beat Dyersburg on a given day. They are that good. Do know White County and Upperman will also be good. So no disrespect to nobody across the river but Dyersburg and South Side are just really good. Union City-Really good PG and really good post play. Don't be suprised if they get to Murfreesboro and win a Gold Ball. Yes I said it. Pickett County will be favored again but Union City is my dark horse. Gibson County-Has already knocked off some powerhouses in Arkansas and Kentucky. Losing Micah Hart and 21 PPG and a Miss Basketball winner won't be easy but we have some really good basketball players. I look for GIbson County to be 9 deep. Some of the girls that didn't play last year are stepping up this summer and showing that they can play. Very proud of our girls and will be a very tough out.
