Appreciate the kind words. Coaches and players work extremely hard year round and they have earned their success I will assure you.

Bullshark and you nailed it. GC came out and hit every three right off the get go and got extremely hot. Thought you guys turned the ball over enough in the 2nd quarter for us to get a lead. We only had 4 or 5 TO's all night and they were late. Very tough team and the post game you got will be nice at UTM if you get past Dresden. Obviously not a shooters gym especially new comers like us that hadn't played it yet.

Greenfield better be pulling for Dresden. I don't know if Greenfield has anyone to slow their posts down. TCA, IMO has a good coach only thing I would do a little different is not sub quite as much. GC has pretty much cut their rotation down.

She is the best PG in AA for sure and it ain't close.

Looks like Huntingdon and Summertown will be a loser leave town game. That will be a war now that Fuller is back. We had our hands full with H ton a couple of weeks ago without Fuller. Hton hadn't played well this year until as of late but they are very talented.

I wouldn't count out Gleason. They scared Greenfield last night. They were up 10 late in the second and Greenfield was a couple of missed shots from being in bad trouble with that ball control offense. We beat them the first time by 17 or so and the second time we beat hem by 7 and we trailed by 8 at half. They are well coached and very disciplined.

GC is loaded with quality depth and has been for last two years. Just play 8 or so in tournments, but he is 10-12 deep.We have played well in that department last few games. The game against TCA at your place I would say we had 8 or so and yow had about 11 or 12 just guessing. Yow didn't turn the ball over much until the 4th. We had a couple in the 4th too, but I thought TCA and us played well that game. I thought yow played 10 times better in the loss than you did the win against us. I think TCA and GC are both good teams. West TN is just loaded with good Single A teams. It seemed like when we were in AA it was easier to get to state. Now we got us, TCA, Greenfield, Dresden, Gleason, Trenton Peabody, Union City and Bradford to go through to get there. Not easy at all. I think whoever makes it there from our region will have a punchers chance to win it all because they are so battle tested. I think that is the reason Greenfield was so calm and cool last year when they faced some adversity.

I am taking one game at a time. TCA has better post play obviously because they play two posts. I will take GC's guards all day long over a bunch of them. White, Lannom, Neal, Ball, Bass, Sweat, J White. We are deep at posts but normally we only play one post. Next year our team will be post heavy. Hunt, Hart, Zoe Neal, Amy Lee and 2 will start, IMO.

It will definitely be interesting to see how it goes tomm. with a lot on the line. I don't know if it will happen but we faceguarded Chloe and Tess and they had about 20 pts. between them when we played Greenfield and I don't think we have done that again yet. I am talking about chin to chin all night and don't come off to help another defender. That is what happend to USJ the other night. 2 Jones girls got faceguarded and it shut USJ to 16 points. I am not so sure I wouldn't do that with Howell and Lee. GC is very deep and if you shut them two down you would have a good chance, IMO. Never know what kind of game plans will happen in tournament time.

They played better in the loss at TCA IMO than the win at GC. Both teams played bad that night. She is a really good player. She takes it to the rim more this year. And even when you think she is not scoring she still has 16 or 18. They are tall and long and take up a lot of room. Last meeting they handled our press good until the fourth quarter. Good team.

It will be a packed house and yes it is a big game. TCA is for real. Probably the best front court in the region. They rebound really well. Key for us is to play like we have been lately offensively. Defensively we have been consistent all year. I imagine GC will turn the defensive pressure up to another level tomm. Getting that time of year where every game is big.

Thursday Night. Region semis are next Saturday and finals are Monday.

For the record, I don't see how you beat a team that presses the whole game and not press back. I thought Chloe got better in the second half going to the rim and still was a force even though she was off on her threes. I think they are beatable but you have to play aggressive on both ends for four quarters. Definitely a really good team and could definitely win it all.

I like GC in his one. I have faith in my team much like you do yours. TCA will be tough no doubt, but I see GC's defense scheming TCA and putting major pressure on them much like they did in the 4th quarter at TCA. I thought GC overcame a lot of adversity at TCA two weeks ago by overcoming the late technical and trailing 4 in the 4th after the technical. I think GC's senior leadership and the home crowd will get them over the hump here.

Darby's changed momentum real quick start 3rd Quater. Really good team. Little Darby hit some big threes. Big Darby hit some big three's. Alexis Anderson played big for Gleason. Both good teams. Congrats to Greenfield. They are tough.

Losing Mayberry was equivalent to losing an Erin Lannom or a Briana Fields, IMO. Really hurt Peabody last year. We lost our starting post last year as well and both teams lost their players playing against each other. Peabody looked like at times they were fixing to go on a good run and get a good lead but shots just wouldn't fall. But they play very hard and are a threat every game they play. TCA made more shots and that was the difference especially in the low post. TCA is as good in the low post and rebounding as there is around here in Single A, IMO.

I agree. They missed shot after shot after shot 5-10 feet. They can get there. Just hard to finish.

I appreciate the compliment. GC is playing well right now as is TCA in our district. Our Point Guard has really stepped her game up and is playing well along with others but she is the QB and it all starts with her. That game will be a dogfight Monday Night. I will be there tomm. Night to watch you guys. Should be a good one. I got you guys by 10. I think Gleason will slow it down and play you tough. They are a very disciplined team. Good luck.

Good win for TCA. Very good team and are going to be a tough out. Very big and physical and take up a lot of room. Macy Lee has really stepped her game up by taking it to the basket. Sally is a good PG and manages the game well. Very good team.

No problem. I am not going to talk about it any more. It is what it is. Good luck to all. May the best teams win and prayers to all the teams and fans for safety throughout.

Let me step in here. I will say this. I think all the teams around here are good and can beat you. Trinity hadn't played a tough schedule but they are a good team. I think Gleason and Dresden are good as well. They play a grind it out game much like GC and either team can beat anyone on a given night. All teams have my respect at this point. Union City is full of talent and they play us tough every year no matter who has what. Peabody and TCA is a coin flip, IMO. They both have good posts and good guards. Going to be a war much like the Dresden Gleason game, IMO.

Your making stuff up now. I didn't say GC to host it every year. I am just saying it is not morally right for any team including GC to play the district and the Region in a college venue and the other district have to come over and play in that college venue after playing in a HS gym. It is what it is. We get there we will be ready I will assure you.

My suggestion would that the District 13 A or whomever cannot play the District Tournament at the same place the Region is being played if at a college venue. If you think there is any thing fair about 13 A playing their District and Region at a big college venue and 14 A coming over after it plays theirs on a HS venue your wrong. Needs to be a bylaw in place that doesn't allow it.

I will take Clay County. Must be a good team because they have had success against Clarkrange.

That is hilarious!!!
