1. So who are the 4 seniors on the team? The Dodd twins, Macy Wright, and ... ???? 2. I don't think you'll be back just as strong next year... but I do believe you'll be back STRONGER next year.

Congrats to a determined CPA team. They came back. Thompson did a good job on Goodman, too. The Lady Rebels only loose senior Macy Wright. They loose the Dodd twins and the Stephenson girl but they didn't start this year.

Both are honor students.

But Goodman only went down with 30ish seconds left in the game... She'll be fine.

Don't worry GC... you're in the know. The others are partisan haters. That does NOT mean I agree with your CPA pick... but I respect it. CPA is a great team based on their season and tournament play, true. But the Lady Rebs are talented, ready, and focused. You're right about fouls... and add to that... turnovers. Win those and you win the game.

Excuse me? McMinn Central is the "easy" side of the bracket???? What state do YOU live in?

This, sir, is an excellent question. Why ISN'T Goodman and/or Macy Wright a Ms. Basketball finalist??

YEP, District 13AA... sorry (I knew that).

I can assure you that the Obion Central coach and team are NOT overlooking Stone Memorial... not sure about a few fans... but the Lady Rebels takes them very, very seriously. I do, however, believe that Obion Central has the talent to win... not sure about 20, though. BTW, the Lady Rebel is good, no doubt... but they are not to so bad on defense, either. Did you see how they shut down McMinn's Masengil and held her to 13 points before she fouled out? Stone Memorial is a serious and creditable team... and could be a threat to the Lady Rebels trip to Saturday. Just watch tomorrow!

I also read about that game and I didn't read anywhere that the Bledsoe coach (Susan Warden, I believe) was a whiny cry baby... at least in the papers. I hope you guys kick some butt next year!

Dude, call it what you want.. any coach who blames the officials for a state tournament game is a sore sport. He owes the TSSAA an apology and the fellow competitors an apology.

McMinn Central has a very competitive team and was a good match for Obion Central yesterday. Their weakness is that sore sport, cry baby coach... Morgan something... I mean did you read the Knoxville News Sentinal today? "Patience no virtue for McMinn Central; Coach says officiating the difference" ... What a "great" influence this guy is to his team. Here is the article... http://bit.ly/wIJi3k I'm glad he's on the other side of the state.

GC, I always believed you! I'm from there. NW Tn has some really tough, great teams. Sometimes it's hard for them to to get to state even when they are in the top 8... because the competition is so good, so excellent, and so fun in District 14. GC, Dyersburg, OCCHS, Covington, Westview... all are generally excellent teams. We're all just lucky that way.

Two words... Wright Goodman... need I say more?

Maybe the TWO players and the other three with the subs will be good enough? What do you think???

Macy Wright is the real deal... Brandi Goodman, too. 21 points each. Seems Obion Central really held down Masengil today. OK, so I watched Stone Memorial closely. I believe that McMinn was a stronger team. There will be 3 keys to Obion Central's game on Friday. Fouls, Turnovers, and Macy Wright. What do you think?

I'm not sure I understand the "not traveling w/o their fans"... The sectional at Obion Central with Oakhaven was really kind of sad. The Oakhaven team arrived with less than 20 minutes before tip off. There may have been a total of 15ish fans... and NO cheerleaders. I felt really bad for the Oakhaven girls. Is that a Memphis thing? Obion Central had about 1500 fans... OK, yes it was a home game but you can be assured that their fan base travels almost as well as the Lady Vols fan base. Why wouldn't you travel to support your teams??

FYI, both teams are "Central"... Obion Central & McMinn Central... People from Obion County likewise call the school "Central".

Speaking of OCC's Macy Wright. She's amazing. It's a crime that the Lame Stream Middle Tennessee Media only decided to pick Middle Tennessee candidates. Macy is one player that should be in that group.

Being familiar with both of these teams... IF Obion County can control their turnovers and check their fouls, they should take the defending state champs by 10+. No real "buts" here... two good teams, either can win... that's why they play the game. Advantage: Obion County 9-5/8 points.

Anyone there? Is this a surprise that CD won? Eager to hear details! ... and just curious, why was it delayed a day from the other Region Champ games?
