For those who have not seen Tellico play, get ready. They are a really good 3rd seed. They play very physical and have big girls with speed. They will fight you tooth and nail, get your pads on. They will not quit until the last buzzer sounds. They shoot well from all positions. Greenback girls had to play at another level to beat them in the district. Greenback is peaking right now, extremely young team. Alot of Freshmen and Sophmores playing a lot of minutes this year. They also can shoot well from many positions. Their best asset right now is defense and patience. They held Tellico to 20 in 1st half and Rockwood game was low scoring. It was an extremely close game with GB getting the 2 point loss at the buzzer basically because no one blocked out the shooter under the goal. Gotta play until the buzzer girls. It looked as if after the Rockwood miss they thought the buzzer went off. No one contested the put back after the miss. GB has a very good sophmore at the point who makes very few turnovers. Rhyne has been with team since 8th grade and has 3 years of exp. She looks like a senior running the point. Very smart ball handler that makes good decisions.
Right now any game between Greenback, Tellico, or Rockwood would be a toss up. Harriman is not playing their best ball right now. Tellico had them down by 20 early in the district tourney.
Can't wait to see how Region matchups go. I pick Tellico, Rockwood & Greenback (sentimental fave and Home game)to win. Rockwood and Greenback will be hard to beat at home in a loser go home game. Tellico plays no different on the road, it's fight...fight...fight whatever floor they are on. They can physically and mentally tear apart a team (very intimidating)!
