Didn't understand that one.

What was the Tech for in the Dyersburg game against Upperman?? Don't understand that one as the guy that called the Tech was the same guy that called 2 on McNeal the night before if I am not mistaken. He called a couple of our games and wasn't a bad ref but he sure got trigger happy.

I am with you. I enjoy the Glass House and Murfreesboro itself. He probably hadn't got a team there or don't stay there.

Teams that up there every year hadn't complained about it. Murphy Center seating is very comfortable. Murfreesboro has nice restaurants and nice hotels. Who is your team and obviously you're mad about something or did your team make it??

TSSAA rents it right?? Why is it all on MTSU?? Shouldn't TSSAA make sure programs are printed and floors are cleaned between games and trash is taken out. I rent my houses. Not my responsibility to clean my renters mess. Let's call it like it is.

Be a nightmare for parking. Why would anyone gripe about MTSU?? Perfect venue. Got good parking. Great hotels, restaurants....etc...don't understand it.

Glass House is a great venue. More centrally located. Already got teams and fans having to drive 4-5 hours to Cookeville for football. Got to make it fair for everyone. Nothing wrong with MTSU.

Ensworth is what I kept hearing last week. Heard they were interested in possibly making an offer with big money. Yeah he went to Riverdale during the housing boom and I heard he couldn't find a house that wasn't through the roof high. I thought he might have went to Webb School last year because they had a job opening. Definitely a package deal and two jobs would have to come with the daughter you would think. Why would they go anywhere else and not coach?? Yesterday on the Miss Basketball Awards Mike Keith said that she was the number 1 player in the 2027 class in the nation I think is what he said. No telling what kind of money could come their way.

I went and watched y'all in the District Semis and in the District Finals in Crockett County and she played neither game if I remember correctly. I didn't know how long she had been out. But she is a sure enough player for sure. We have been seeing her a while on the floor at Gibson County. Congratulations on winning the Gold Ball. Coach Strayhorn is a good guy. Think a lot of him. Couldn't happen to a nicer person.

Sick because she didn't win it?? Or sick good player?? We haven't had any luck with Miss Basketball Awatds in the past. Heather Butler went 70-1 with back to back Titles in 2009 and 2010 in AA and got looked over. She is the all time leading scorer in the OVC with 2700 points and didn't win it. Reese is a player. Either won from the East could have won it. About Micah you might not know. She is the all time leading scorer at Gibson County High School, she won all state all four years, her numbers are against really good competition, she just has been a beast for four years, rebounding, steals, 3 point shots, jump shots off of the dribble. Bet you could ask Loretto, Summertown, South Gibson, Westview Peabody.....what player are you ready to graduate?? Micah's name would be in there a bunch. Like Jada Harrison last year. She was very hard to deal with. But anyway, good to meet you at the Glass House. Good luck to your team and your girls. Keep battling and working every day.

We are very blessed and thankful. We won it in 2019, we were in Final Four in 2020 and got sent home with Covid, lost on last second shot in 2021 to North Green in Final Eight, lost to York by 4 in 2022 in Final Eight, lost to McMinn Central last year by 8 in Final Four. Won it this year. So I feel like it is a blessing to get to state and see what happens. I knew we had a great defense this year and had a chance but also knew how tough the field was. Very blessed.

Oh I agree with that 100%. She is a beast no doubt. Congratulations on her winning it as well.

You must be talking about Crawford. She has been hurt a lot this year. Guess that at is why. She put up 24 against us in our gym as a Freshman. Savannah Davis was hurt first half of the year last year and didn't get nominated either for Mckenzie. Dyersburg has a lot of talent over there and in Junior High. Y'all looked good too. Y'all had a good Tournament. Dyersburg, South Side and Upperman will be the three favorites next year, IMO. I would say either of y'all could win it in AAA. Dyersburg and South Side are very young.

What a season it has been and Micah Hart just won Miss Basketball. So very thankful and blessed. All 3 are ballers that were nominated. Very thankful. So proud of her and all the team. So thankful and blessed.

Johnny is a great coach and I know him and he is a good guy. Some times things just don't work out. We had an awesome team in 1989 and got beat on a last second shot. One of the most talented ever. Our 2016 team was 37-0 going into the Finals and lost to South Green in the last minute. Glass House has been a house of horrors for everybody at some point. Gold Balls don't grow on trees. Lots of teams never make the state. Last year McMinn knocked us out and we had a 5 point lead with about 4 to play and it haunted me for a few days but I told coach we had a great year and we did. Johnny is a really good coach and I would bet he will be back. Best way to get over losses like that is to start planning and getting ready to get after it again. That was a loaded State Tournament. We feel very blessed to have won it.

Clarkrange, Bradford, Gleason and Pickett County had some great teams over the years.

I watched this game live and on tape. I thought Gatlinburg Pittman threw a big punch and they exchanged punches until Loretto got the last one. I thought the biggest problem in the game was GP got away from Newman in the middle of the 4th and OT. Even on last possesion in regulation play wasn't designed for her after TO. But both teams well coached. Weathers is a player for sure. They couldn't stop her.

I will be shocked if he is not on the sidelines next year. He loves what he is doing. He has a great system set up. I think this year he really adapted to his team well. Played more zone this year to stay out of foul trouble and create a different look. All of his Assistant Coaches and Jr. High Coaches are great coaches. He has a well oiled machine right now and he loves what he is doing. Wife told me the week of snow break he was ready to practice and get back to work. I hope he stays 10 more years. If he does leave I hope they let him make the next hire. Good guy and runs a good Christian Program. No profanity at all and just a great family.

I knew we had a great defense and some of the Westview Fans picked us to win it in the hotel and I was cautiously optimistic with all the good teams. Westview's defense has shut folks down as well the last two seasons before. Will be interesting going forward. We had some great offensive plays but our defense won it for us.

Alexander was a great player for sure. She will be missed a bunch but I do think they like Gibson County will regroup by state next year and both be a handful.

I am basically counting numbers they will have coming up from Jr. High. But you're right. Lot of work to do. We have 5 girls that were on JV to take up 2 spots that were awesome players, but our JV has worked hard and will have to step up now that it is their turn to get going. Silver Lining for Westview with the PG is she will be in the gym on her own time a bunch rehabbing and great opportunity to get others in gym joining her. Night she got hurt Gibson County on three different occasions were leading and looking like before half they could take control and she hit money shots. She is a player for sure.

Problem was she couldn't guard Ally Weathers man to man and she kept trying it. Ally Weathers took the game over, plain and simple. I thought Gatlinburg Pittman should have went to Newman more down the stretch especially on the last possesion in regulation. Refs didn't take the game away. Ally kept taking it to the rim and Gatlinburg got away from Miss Basketball, IMO.

Hindsite is always 20/20. Great man to man coaches believe in their defense but sometimes you may have to mix it up. Thought McMinn couldn't guard Beaty and it cost them. Just think York did a good job of creating Beaty space and 1 on 1 which she will win all day. Just like Micah Hart. You don't want to guard her 1 on 1. Johnny is a good coach. McMinn will be back. Always are. Still got solid players coming back.

I had rather be 3-5 in state heading up there. I wouldn't want to be the favorites. York will be the favorite next year with everyone returning. AA was a great Tournament with all the games single digits but one.
