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.

Yeah the 2-3 zone is lethal up there when shooting seems very difficult. Same teams have been up there and struggled with his zone. Wouldn't surprise me if it causes a bunch more problems. I think they will have a shot to win it again because of the 2-3 zone. They will be opposite Gibson County or Peabody. I do think Gibson County has done well with it this year but I think other teams may not be as fortunate. Gibson County has played them 11 times in 3 years and opponents in Murfreesboro maybe 1 or 2 or 0.

UC it would be if it happens. I am enjoying the ride and hopefully we will make it. You know as well as I do it is a blessing to get there. Lots of dogfights along the way. Don't make any difference who you draw this year it will be tough. York is really good I hear. As is McMinn Central and Gatlinburg Pittman. We had our chances with McMinn last year up 5 with four minutes left and the ball. Thought about it all year. But like I said it is a blessing to get there and an everyday gift if you win it.

Westview will have the much easier route. Gibson County will play Peabody in the semis providing both advance and it will be a dogfight as always. When you have 3 good teams in the District and the other District is not as good always good to be second as Westview has done the last two seasons.

Tournament Time can be crazy. Never know. That is the reason they play the games. Good win for Alcoa.

I agree 110%. I have a ton of respect for the Upper Cumberland. Seen a ton of Gold Balls come out of there. I think our area feels the same way. I think our area plays a lot of each other in scrimmages throughout the year and even runs into some of y'all in the offseason. Just think we feel like we are ready to play whoever and I know y'all feel the same way. Lots of Gold Balls from a small mileage area in both sections. Both areas have seen Gold Balls and are not intimidated by any team.

We played them last year and she got in foul trouble a couple of times that cost them and against USJ in one of our Tournmanets she got in foul trouble early. She may have it under control and that is good because without her they are a different team.

KK will get going. 23 will shoot better too. Shot like that and still won by double digits. What were the Turnovers for both teams?? Crockett turned it over a bunch and Dyersbirg didn't. Dyersburg also rebounded well.

I agree Fayette Ware could have a chance with the right refs and if everything falls their way. South Gibson benefitted from losing last night big time. They for sure would have had major problems with Dyersburg. Lewis had a big game and got hot last night. I think they will beat Fayette Ware and have a decent shot at Crockett County. Crockett will have to control Turnovers for them to get to state. I think South Gibson has a good shot to make it.

Dyersburg is really good. They are very athletic. They were 0 for whatever last night from 3 point land and still won by 12 or so. They can defend big time. I think one of the two Dyersburg or White County are the favorites. Dyersburg is loaded with talent.

If they start shooting the ball better, look out. They are not shooting great right now. Their press is relentless. Crockett never could get in a rhythm with that pressure, I think they will be tough to beat for whoever even without Crawford. Lots of talent out there now. I pray that Crawford comes back and can get healthy. Crockett and South Gibson will play for a spot in Murfreesboro, IMO. Dyersburg and Obion will play for a spot as well. District is really good. Huntingdon will be hard to beat as well especially if Kee stays out of foul trouble.

Big win tonight King. Congratulations.

Happens a bunch. TSSAA needs to go to 8 Regions and have accurate seeds. No one will ever do it like Riverdale did it but I have been watching ball my whole life and teams just happen to play their worse games of the year when it benefits them the most. Missed layups, careless Turnovers, missed FT's...just a convenient lack of focus.

I would think that guarding the 6'1 post would be really tough for Mckenzie. I would also say the mental edge would go to Mckenzie because they have beaten them twice in the State Finals. I would say the longer Mckenzie hangs around in this one the better chance they have if they indeed play. No disrespect to the first round opponents.

I watched the second half on X Sports. Never know what will happen when these two meet. Cannon County looks to be the cream of the crop in the other District.. Ought to be interesting. Who has the Region this year??

I think just doing 8 Regions would keep it more honest because the Region play the true seeding would be accurate. When you have a tough District and the other District is terrible teams actually get penalized for winning District Championships. Number of games would probably be inline you just wouldn't have a District Tournament due to more teams.
