Guard play has gotten a ton better since the first time we played. Dangerous team now. Would be super dangerous if Fuller was on floor. Very long and take up a ton of room.

Ain't nothing never with ease. If you are one of these one's that thinks every one is going to roll the red carpet out for Greenfield and not contest them your wrong.

Like they won District Tournament with ease last year right? Nothing good comes with ease that I have seen.

Clarkrange is a good team. I will say this. The team that plays with the most poise and doesn't get rattled during tournament time usually wins it. You guys did a good job last year. We were up on you guys by 13 in the semis and yow had tight games with Pickett, Huntingdon and Summertown but yow kept your cool and played with a lot of poise. Almost here. We got Huntingdon tonight at Huntingdon. Seen where you guys had a good win last night.

I seen Crockett County play tonight and their post play has become a major strength and I think they are the team to beat in West TN in AA.

Looks like you guys are already locked in to play Gleason in the semis providing you win your first round right? Greenfield will play Bradford or Union City in the first round right?

No doubt brother. You hadn't got to sell me on Greenfield. I know the Darby girls are good and all but we know what makes the engine run. Just like we had great players when we won it in 2009-2010, Butler was the one driving the bus as is Moore for you guys. No disrespect to the Darby's because they are really special but PG's like Moore don't come around every year. You guys are the champs until someone knocks you out.

I thought the host school for the district only host the semis and the finals. The first rounds I thought was at the higher seeds home floor.

South Side girls team is probably as close to a boys team around West TN as you will see. I just think when you handle the ball against their press and play some zone and keep them from getting to the rim it more than evens the playing field. I think Greenfield and GC both exposed South Side playing zone and handling the ball in our Christmas Tournament. Athlete for athlete though they are probably as athletic as any team in the state year in and year out.

It is what it is. What you are saying about Gibson County has been said about South Gibson bumping to AAA for the last four or five years due to their enrollment. I knew we were close last time.

That is right. All three teams have lost 1 and beat each other, so whoever wins out will be the number 1 seed.

I agree he is a good coach. GC is set for the next 5 years after this year and probably longer than that. Micah Hart will be a freshman starting the 2020 season and her little sister is not far behind her. And the other schools are loaded with talent. Coach Wilkins efforts with the feeder programs are now in effect. We will be reloading instead of rebuilding. I think they will be ready and hopefully they wil play fast and they will be fine. I agree we have played better since TCA.

Yeah we control our own destiny too. TCA lost to Peabody. We will see how it pans out. Your right. We obviously haven't played well as of late and have some improving to do.

I made a comment to play TCA defensively faceguarding TCA like we did Greenfield and you backfired about Greenfield. TCA is our next meaningful opponent so they do have our attention I will assure you as does Peabody and whoever else. And for the record, GC will guard whoever Greenfield steps out there I will assure you. They won't be anyone left alone.

I didn't say double team any of them. I said faceguard them and if somebody else gets beat on our team for the one's that are guarding Darby and Moore to stay put. Naturally others can play helpside defense, but it is not a true double team. We didn't double team anyone last team we played Greenfield.

Yeah they looked like we're playing in 12 inches of sand instead of a hard floor and trying to play a slow game and run the clock out. They have sped it up since then and been in more attack mode and hopefully they play like they did at our Christmas Tournament when we played Sikeston, Dyersburg and South Side. That was the best I have seen them play. That was after we lost to Dyersburg at their place.

I believe your right. Reason I say if I am Wilkins I take our two or three best defenders and faceguard every one else's best players on defense and attack all night on offense playing up tempo.

Clarkrange is a very good team and has a chance to win it all no doubt.

If Wilkins has wits about him he will faceguard Macey Lee and Sally Howell and tell whoever is guarding them to stay put and don't leave them for help side defense same way we did Greenfield with Moore and Darby and should definitely create havoc for them. If you get beat with players other than Lee and Howell or Darby and Moore you just get beat. One thing GC does have consistent is shutdown defenders.

The Summertown Loretta Region isn't that strong either but they are good teams. How do you know Telico is that bad? I respect anyone at this point.

Keep us up to date on the Clay County Clarkrange game time and date with snow possibly changing dates and what not. Might be one I would like to watch.

I agree I hadn't seen you guys play and I hadn't seen North Green, Clay County ..... play. But Greenfield won the state last year and kept their core group. GC has split with Greenfield the last two games and I seen Clarkrange play this summer and has beaten Macon County already. I am really basing comments on Greenfield being the defending champs and not losing their core group. No doubt East TN can play too.

I really think one of GC, Greenfield or Clarkrange will win the Gold Ball in no particular order. But who is to say a Summertown, Loretta, Clay County or TCA can't get hot and win it. Right now it is a coin flip, IMO. I don't think the early losses actually hurts teams but helps them if they can get better and Greenfield is obviously getting better and will be a force to be reckoned with no doubt.

Depth will be the question with Greenfield. They got in foul trouble against GC early and it hurt them early in the year. Last year they had the key role players that would come off the bench. They can win it but do they have quality depth?

I wouldn't say that. Clarkrange will be tough. I seen them this summer and they can play. I have never ever seen the parity in HS basketball in West TN like it is this year. Any body can be beat on a given night. We have seen it already.
