GC played tempo all night on offense. Well coached game. Played well on both ends. Peabody very dangerous no doubt.

I have Clarkrange number 1 in my personal poll. I think most people have us number 1 because we beat Westview twice, Greenfield and Summertown but we are not playing good right now. I would have Greenfield 2 us 3 and Summertown 4 right now is how I would do it. TCA, Gleason and Clay County could be a 5.

GC's body of work is good but I would give Greenfield and Clarkrange a higher ranking at the moment.

They play a tough schedule. Could be right. But our worse games have been when we had rest and shouldn't be mentally weaker. GC is loaded with depth. That is when he needs to use the bench more, IMO.

GC has beat some good teams and your exactly right teams are not just going to roll over because they play GC. TCA has beaten us three years in a row at our place. Yes sir they have. Like I said, GC has been consistent game in and game out on the defensive side of the ball. We have been consistently inconsistent on the offensive side of the ball but have won lots of ugly games because of our defense. This is not a knock on GC or our coaches. Just reality. We have to coach better and play better offensively to win the state. Very obvious of that.

Your right. Going to be interesting.

Don't know. We are trending down and you and Peabody are trending up. TCA is a good team. Yow have just a good of chance as we do to make it to state. All about how you play in February. Trenton may beat us. May be what we need to wake us up. Better to lose now than a month down the road.

Good win for TCA. Yow have the ability to make a good run and to the state. Just like us. All about how you play in February. Yow may be getting good at the right time. We seem to be going in the other direction.

TCA played well on defense. Good team. We didn't deserve to win that game. No offense but Greenfield is probably the best defense we played.

One of our top three scorers played about a quarter against you guys. Don't know why. Ask Coble he will tell you too. When you got 10-12 players sometimes they get lost in the shuffle.

He is a defensive guy And wants to create offense with defense. Won him a lot of games but that is his philosophy. He tells girls all the time he don't care how many points you score. All about defense. Nick Saban is a defensive guy. Just the way he believes. No disrespect to Trinity. That is his philosophy.

I agree. It wasn't a well coached game either. The whole game was strange the way it was coached. We deserved to lose and I agree are better off losing it than winning it. I don't know if you have noticed it or not but when we play bad on offense we are just super slow passing the ball, taking shots, missing open posts, and cutters in the paint and getting the ball up court. It is like they are playing in mud. I don't know if it is just playing individual ball or just they play that slow on offense when they are having a bad night. Very strange. His offensive coaching is a lot more lenient than his defensive coaching.

I don't know but at this stage us playing Halls and Humboldt first two games of District Tournament as a 1 seed might not help us. Our district is so bad other than the first three it is basically like a game off. It may be better for us to play a tougher bracket. We have played our worse ball after playing stretches of teams that are bad.

I agree. Gleason is playing well now as is Peabody and TCA. I believe Clarkrange and Greenfield are the team's to beat in Single A right now and should be ranked 1 and 2 in the AP poll, IMO. GC is not playing consistent offensively. We beat Gleason and Westview in the Westview tournament but we are not playing well offensively. I don't now how they do the polls but Clarkrange and Greenfield are my top 2, IMO.

Keep in mind GC starters and main subs hadn't played a real game in almost 14 days until the Trinity game. They have played their best ball when playing three good teams in a row for some reason. Very strange. But keep in mind the 2 games he has lost he hasn't had his best offensive lineup in. The coach obviously has a concept some times that we will beat you playing an ugly game of no offense and a lot of defense and you seen it back fire twice this year. GC has got to get better play offensively and start working inside out to loosen up guards. GC has three good post players they have just been abandoned. It is time for GC to start coaching offense every day because GC's defense is probably best in the state as far as points per game. Trinity is a good team and well coached but we hold any team in the state to 30 points in regulation you have to like your chances. I had rather lose now than win ugly now and perhaps lose later and not address issues. GC is practicing today and I bet their whole practice is offense. The state better hope GC's offense don't get better because if their offense is OK they will beat most teams. I will credit TCA again, but I like GC's chances especially in the district tournament no matter where we are seeded. I don't like polls and I had rather lose now than be ranked number 1.

I give TCA their congrats. Your post sounds like your trying to convince me something I don't know. GC better play better offensively or we won't make it by the first round of the region.

So is GC brother. We are not consistent offensively. We like to press and cause TO's. Hard to press when you can't score consistently. Good win for Westview!!

Alyssa is a great kid and played well down low. She is a friend of the family. So did the rest of your team. Congrats on a good win!!!

It was a must win for TCA. They lost to Trenton Tuesday. Now GC has to win out. GC still controls their own destiny. Our offense don't get no better we won't make it to the semi round of the region. I really don't believe it would be the end of the world if we didn't win first seed in the district tournament. We have had 10 days off and we played Humboldt before the TCA game. Whoever wins first seed will probably have to play Halls and Humboldt to get into the finals. GC has played better ball when they played tough teams back to back to back,

Congrats to TCA. Fought hard and won. You score 30 points in regulation you deserve to lose.

Don't know what is wrong with Westview this year. Yeah they lost some talent but if I am not mistaken their Jr. High had won state 2 or 3 times. Don't make sense.

Yeah but losing to Clay County threw them in Pickett County's bracket.

Their defense is legit no doubt. If they can have a decent offensive night, they will beat most teams just because of their defense.

Nothing wrong brother and if you are the one that is in charge of it it is not taking a shot at you by no means I am saying that the players heads might get a little lopsided. Just my take. I have 0 problem with the one's that decide the Top 10.

What happend to Westview against Obion? Was that a misprint?
