Jackson Co. by 15+. Celina doesn't use their post players well enough.

Westmoreland by 1 in OT.

DCA in single A.

Don't forget about Westmoreland.

My bad guys! I didn't realize Benson was just a junior last year. Sorry. And I never said Westmoreland wouldn't be tough at tournament time, I just said that on the average single A basketball in middle TN was a bit down this year from years past. Don't you agree? Oh didn't Westmoreland get beat by RBS the other night? What happened? I think they have beat RBS since, just wondering.

I understand where you're coming from. 8A is probably as good if not better than 7A this year. A lot of the teams in that region(the top teams) match up pretty well this year. There isn't really one outstanding team. Clarkrange will probably be on top when the region tournament rolls around though. Gordonsville has had several big wins already, but not over anybody that was very good. And Westmoreland is always pretty good, so if you put them with Celina and Clarkrange the region tournament is shaping up to be exciting!

Clarkrange's district is just more competitive this year. There is no way the teams you mentioned could compete with teams from 7A or 8A from 2 or 3 years ago. If you'll remember Friendship had Vaughn and McPhereson 2-3 years ago; Westmoreland lost a lot last year in Benson, Jones, and Franklin; Celina lost Strong and Rich last year and several good basketball players a year or two before that; Gordonsville was good last year but only lost 1 senior so they are still pretty good; and Clarkrange lost Snow and a good outside shooter last year. That's just a few and the freshmen around the midstate are really stepping it up this year so the future is bright. But right now things are down a bit from the past. Jackson County coming down next year will definitely be exciting and private schools moving up will make district play a little more fair.

Good job doubletrouble! I think these rankings are pretty acurate, from what I've seen so far this year. However, single A basketball(in middle TN at least) looks quite a bit weaker this year than in years past. But most everybody is weaker so that still makes for good competition, as usual!

Why is this such a big deal? Records and rankings are not what matters, it's how you play the game. Any team can be beat on any night, so if everybody has the same option-to count the game or not- then what does it matter.

Just wondering, but does gordansville have anybody that can stop the Chumney girl?
