I had no idea Wayne County lost to East Hickman during the season. I knew they lost to Loretto. Seen where they beat Summertown twice. I agree supporting cast is important and that has been the question mark all year for Mckenzie. Big question is will the team that beat USJ and Huntingdon show up tonight?? If so, Wayne County may be in trouble. Big question IMO is who is going to handle the ball better?? And how is Mckenzie going to guard the big post for Wayne County?? They can't guard her man to man you wouldn't think. But Mckenzie presses and it has bothered Wayne County the last two seasons. Best matchup in the state IMO because both teams are in a small group of Title Favorites.

Does Clatkrange have any shot at Pickett?? Can't believe I am typing this.

Yeah and Johnny Morgan would not be happy with him giving a lot of bulletin board material out there cause these players read these boards. Johnny I know personally and is not like this at all. Very respectful of opponents even if he is 40 points better than a particular team. Yeah and York is loaded I will agree. Very good.

I am not talking about Upperman game. Just talking about District Tournment games over the years around here. They need to go to strictly Regions so the seeding can be accurate. District Tournaments are very corrupt and have been for years. You see missed lay ups in droves, careless Turnovers, missed FT's where sometimes they hit the blackboard, very weird substitutions....TSSAA needs to do away with the District Tournaments and just go to Regions where everyone will play each other all during the year. It is a problem and has been. The Riverdale fiasco won't ever happen again but people that watch basketball year round know when teams are not giving their all in these District Tournaments.

I have watched some games where teams have played bad and had weird substitutions when it absolutely benefitted them the most.

Wouldn't be suprised if Pickett wins it all. Wayne County Mckenzie game will be crazy. Clay County always has a good team. Sounds like you know about East Robertson. Man tommorow night is when fans that hadn't been to games all year start showing up. That Wayne County Mckenzie game could have made a fortune if they could have played that game Tuesday. We all are playing same night.

No doubt if Gibson County wasn't playing I would be there. I am like you. Two questions I have is can Wayne County get over the mental hurdle of losing to Mckenzie and Davis and Reynolds the last two years?? And can Mckenzie guard the 6'1 dominant post of Wayne County and who can protect the ball the best?? I am like you. I just can't see Savannah Davis losing this one. I will have to see it to believe it. She seems to play her best against them. They shot like 75% against them at state last year. Good to luck to both though. Pickett County in a big one against Clarkrange that I forgot about. I also had no idea Sycamore beat Creekwood and put them in the bracket with South Side. That will be a sure enough dogfight. We have played both.

Humboldt has another gear I agree. South Fulton pretty good team but Humboldt was much better. Humboldt definitely needs to win the Region and keep them at home for the sub-state. I agree they have to turn it up a notch defensively. But they looked really athletic with their guards and powerful around the glass. You have to think they will be a handful for whoever and whenever.

Many many more I know I have probably left off. Wayne County Mckenzie last two Title games battling out again may be the war of all wars. Gibson County Peabody will be a war as always. Creekwood South Side. How come we have to play these all in one night?? This the biggest Monday Night ever. Unreal matchups.

Where do we start?? Wayne County Summertown Mckenzie Cannon County Gibson County White County Peabody Stone Memorial Creekwood Upperman South Side Lawrence County Crockett County. Dyersburg South Gibson Obion Westview Scotts Hill

Maya Turner guarded her and did an outstanding job on Massengale. Massengale is an outstanding player. And yes Bystry hit big time money shots. Massengale I agree got some big steals late to carry McMinn. We were up 5 with the ball with about 4:30 minutes left so we had our chances. Bystry was hitting 3's from downtown. I will give McMinn Central and Johnny credit. Always in the mix and very well coached. Always a very tough out and this year will be even tougher.

Humboldt really looked good last night beating South Fulton by 25 or so. Played a bunch of kids. Very athletic and have 2 dominant bigs. Going to be hard to knock off.

Don't forget Upperman played South Side in the Title Game in 2022 and met in first round in 2023 as well.

Time to go to 8 Regions and do away with Districts and get true seedings.

Your District best in state no doubt. 4th place team can win a Gold Ball. Been like that a while. I agree we all got business to take care of.

How do they draw the games now since we can't watch??

Memphis Business Academy is AA and seems to be one of the best in Shelby County excluding 4 A. They are a pretty good team. We played them twice last year and beat them by 15-20 and played a lot of our JV as well but AAA I just don't see it. They shut it down in Shelby County during Covid and even after Covid for a couple of years and they just haven't seemed to have caught back up. Lots of games forfeited over that stretch. Just don't see it. Their District is really good. I think with a lot of confidence Crockett or South Gibson will be there.

Peabody is a good team. JCM looking at schedule they have played as well as Peabody looks like Peabody definitely has the advantage. But I will say this time of year can be crazy and JCM is playing pretty good ball in their District for sure. We will see in a little while what happens.

Crockett or South Gibson will be there, IMO. South Gibson has a great shot.

I think South Gibson will get it going. Natalie Lewis had 18 points herself against Obion. She is tall and has a quick release and they tend to not watch her as much. Just can't see Embrey losing this one.

Be interesting how the draw is determined and who plays who.

Never know. We will see how it unfolds. Be interesting how they determine who plays who. Don't think they do a blind draw no more because if they did they would at least have it online.

Very possible Pickett County will make a strong run for Single A Title. Mckenzie and Wayne County are in same bracket so one of them will be gone. Between White County, LA, Upperman, York and Pickett there are some good teams. Probably will be some matchups like we have seen in past.

Crockett will have to value the ball better to win a loser leave town match. Can't turn it over a bunch and stay alive.

I agree with their injuries but I still think they have a good shot to get to Murfreesboro. Crockett or South Gibson one will be in Murfreesboro, IMO. Will be an interesting Monday Night.
