Please don't take the 3-point line away!

Camden and Waverly appear to be firing on all cylinders going into post season play after completely demolishing Creek Wood and Harpeth respectively in the semi-finals. Who will win the district title and how do the four district 11AA teams match up in regions?

Creek Wood's starters did not touch the floor. Harpeth played absolutely awful and the only reason they won is because Creek Wood received a technical for calling a timeout with none left. Creek Wood is going to be tough to beat in the tournament.

Hobson without a doubt.

Camden will be good. May even take the top spot. They return four of five starters and have a lot of speed and scoring threats. Camden Cheatham Waverly Harpeth -Top four-

McEwen can win this game, but they are the underdog. Because this isn't an elimination game, nerves will be less. McEwen definately showed some nerves in the MTCS game and I see them playing better in this game. Should be a great game, I see Hobson showing up major in this game. GOOD LUCK McEWEN!

McEwen by 3.

Congrats Cheatham. Keep 11AA rolling.

What is up with Harpeth? They never perform in the postseason. Going back even further than Johnson, they lost some some substate games they were favored to win. No one could have predicted all of these outcomes tonight. Especially Sycamore taking Bolivar to OT. I want to hear details about this game.

Yeah most of the size are freshmen and soph post players. A few were dominate in Junior high and I think will be ready next year. We only lose 3 seniors this year. And there are no juniors on the team. Prince is sophomore and two of the leading scorers are freshmen. That offense did work well tonight, but sometimes it is frustrating to watch. You have to shoot to win the game. That's why I am such a girls basketball fan. There are so many tactics you can use to win games, regardless of speed, size, talent, etc.

I have not seen McNairy play this year, but it was obvious that Waverly's offense had them a little thrown off. They adjusted to it a lot better in the second half. Sometimes slowing down a good team is a huge advantage. Yes Waverly most always plays this offense. They do not have a true post and this is their way of making up for that. They have 4 girls that can hit the 3 all day long and they count on that. But yea I could tell McNairy was not operating at full potential. It was a good game for Waverly, but they usually have less than 5 turnovers in a game. I think both teams had 15-20.

This was the most oddly officiated game I have ever seen. First you have nothing being called whatsoever in the first half. Then you come back after half time and the refs go on a walk-calling spree. I bet 20 walks were called in the 3rd quarter, some were, but most were not. Then you go into the fourth quarter and it's like a new game. No longer can you reach in, push off, or anything that they were letting go throughout the game. However, I was still okay at this point. But in the last minute of play the ball went out on McNairy's point guard and Waverly went to set up for the inbound and somehow it was still MC's ball. Maybe I missed something, but then the real kicker was the charge call on Prince. The only charge call of the game mind you.. and there was hardly any contact. Looked like the refs wanted to end they game. I enjoyed the game nonetheless. I think Waverly prolly went 70% from the field. McNairy has excellent defense and a couple solid guards.

Not taking anything away from any player.. Collump and Prince are the only players on the team this year that had any prior varsity experience at all, whatsoever. They lose three seniors this year and no one next year. Like you said, they will get better. There are also some solid 8th graders coming from Lakeview next year. Waverly should be able to contend for the district title for the next few years. On a side note, Prince does carry the team at times, but there is not one at Waverly Central High that the girls would rather have as their leader and go to player. Kati's load will lessen next year when she and the other players have improved. It will be interesting to see how much she dominates over the years with a more experienced solid team.

You are so dumb and negative. Just stop posting /roflolk.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflolk:" border="0" alt="roflolk.gif" />

Waverly over McNairy by 4 Cheatham over Southside by 6 Bolivar over Sycamore by 20 Harpeth over Camden by 7

Camden is a slightly above average team. Waverly split with them during the season, but there is a huge rivalry factor between these two schools, I think that always makes a difference in play. Harpeth should beat them, but should in no way overlook them. If Camden gets hot from the shooting field it is tough to keep up, but they lack in defense. Harpeth is a more solid team.

Who wins first rounds of region 6AA?

Who got MVP and all district, all tournament?

I say the first round goes 2-2, With Forrest and MTCS being blowouts, and McEwen and WHH being close games. The next game will be the test for McEwen. How bad will they want to beat MTCS?, because they can if they bring everything to the table. Like I said earlier, McEwen did not play an intensive schedule and that will hurt them in the post season.

Excellent post. This team has done far better than expected and I would not count them out yet.

Where is this region tourney being hosted?

Game was tight the whole way. Harpeth is a good team and will go far in the region tournament. They will beat Cheatham in the final.

I do think Waverly has the best all-around raw talent in the district, but they can rarely make it all come together. One reason may be their size or the fact that they don't have a true "go to" player. I see them sending Harpeth to Bolivar, which would be a nice change for Waverly.

Good post. Winning down the stretch and closing out a game is something Waverly has struggled with as long as I can remember. This team has a different mindset and like you said philmeyer, they find ways to win. I am very pumped about the games tonight.
