Looks like J3 and the boys from Southwind got the best of Science Hill. J3 had 20 points, 15 boards, and 7 blocks. Wins the battle with Shannon Hale as the 2 best sophomores in the state squared off.

how did the other games go today?

Guys I have been keeping up with this tourney from West TN. I have seen Southwind this year and they are a tough team. Science Hill has been blowing people out though. That kind of scares me but it may be lack of competition. Southwind has had close scores throughout the year but that may be because the talent in the Memphis area. Southwinds lone loss came at the hands of undefeated Bossier City, LA squad by 3 points. Southwind is very fast and has height to go along with it. Their guard play is good but the X-Factor is J3. Jonathan Williams is a do it all 6'9 point forward. He can literally play all 5 positions on the floor. Hale vs. Williams will be the top class of 2013 matchup of the year in the state of Tennessee.

anything yet terop?

alright that would be really appreciated. there is no contact on the battle of the best website and the commercial appeal has nothing either. this is the most talented showcase memphis has had in a long time, someone is dropping the ball.

i think it is at elma roane fieldhouse. can anyone contact the event department at the college and find out?

Heard anything about the schedule terop?

This was a good tournament win by the Choctaws but the post made the Miami Senior team sound amazing when the truth is they are an average at best team in Florida. Dyer County should have won the tournament and they did.

Can any of the Memphis guys on here find out the schedule to this event?

I'm a Liberty guy and to be honest the first Liberty team that won state could have hung with BA but would've gotten beat by 10 or 12 points. The '07 Liberty squad against the '06 BA team would have been a knockdown, dragout fight to the finish.

I agree with you 100% that team was an outstanding team.

Those kids played well together, something Melrose doesn't be seem to be doing this year. The 07 Liberty team was a crowd favorite that year in Ft. Myers. The whole gym was wanting Liberty to pull off the unthinkable and beat the GIGANTIC Mater Dei team. Mater Dei's starting lineup that game was 6'2, 6'7, 6'9, and two 6'10's. Liberty lost that game 85-80 and let the whole nation know they deserved the hype. Melrose hasn't done that at all this season.

I agree with you 100%. I believe coaching is killing Melrose. I know they were a great team last year but I don't think that they were as good as they should have been. Talent is there but coaching and lack of toughness from Thomas' supporting cast is missing

Apparently not

The Liberty 07 team was ranked 13 in Sports Illustrated final ranking and they played a tougher schedule than Melrose did last year.
