The game was played in university of Maryland... Wattad is going to Georgetown, not exactly his SOON TO BE HOME... He played stellar defense... which is rare in an all star game... only attempted like 7 or 8 shots and scored 7. Not his best offensive game... but it seemed the effort to play team ball didn't exist (it was an allstar game folks.. don't put too much stock into these games).

same list... appy state. tulsa... ballstate... richmond... college of charleston... chattanooga...

Wiggins has been in close contacts with Tulsa, Appy State, College of Charleston, Ball State to name a few..... he is going to be fine.... Wattad works well in the G-town system... they like passers, and taller guards.... he fits both molds.... .strength... he and antwaine both need strength....

Wattad had 9 points and 9 assists on 4/9 shooting... he also had the game winning assist to Wiggins when the west team sent 3 guys towards him. Unselfishly (something you can always say about Omar) he gave the ball up and wiggins scored. Kyle Groothius also had 25 points, mostly layups at the end of breaking the press. Wattad also had 4 rebounds.... Oglesby finished with 6 points and 7 assists... I don't see how you can say Wattad won't play at Georgetown after seeing him play. He may not dazzle but he does what he must to get the W. Good job EAST

3rd oT.... EITHER TEAM that MARYVILLE PLAYS they should PUSH THE TEMPO... 3OT means tired legs.....

who won

The game is going to come down to post play. Maryville owned SHHS because the tallest post on the hill was 6'4". Bradley should be able to handle the inside with Dodd and Groothius. Oglesby will do Oglesby just like Wattad did Wattad... it is the REST OF THE GUYS that will make the diff. Bradley by 6. By even more if Groot and Keith can put up numbers and/or limit the effectiveness of the tight-end/center.

Wrong.. No Coty... No Sylvester... Throp is REAL... but No williamson... I think BOTH SHHS and DB can win in substate though.... imagine a Bradley Central SHHS first round at state.... WOW!

Well it looks like you should say "whoever they play in Johnson City" they beat DB, and will host Maryville who surspiringly got whipped by Powell.

if its in the 40's TN HIGH WINS... above the 40's SHHS wins....

Is #21 that albino looking kid?

Wattad is the better player... AT THIS TIME.... Wiggins has a huge upside potential but he has not tapped into that as a legitimate Wing/Forward at the High major level. He is not quick enough to guard smaller players... and he is not strong enough to muscle the big men... he's what scouts call a "tweener"... With Wattad you know what you get... he isn't going to provide the length that Wiggins does, but you know who he can and can't guard... too many questions with Wiggins, wattad is the more ready player AT THIS TIME... that doesn't mean i think Omar will have a better college career... antwaine's potential is FAR GREATER than Omar's, but he hasn't tapped into it to the extent that Omar has tapped into his.... understand my point?

I agree.. Antwaine is much better than what we saw from him, but don't use his sickness as an excuse... a lot of his difficulties that night were due to Wattad's exceptional play. SO yes don't let that game be the basis for how you judge antwaine as a player... but do factor in Omar's play as a substantial reason as to why Antwaine struggled like he did.

i agree... but as stupid as it seems... for record keeping purposes they are listed as co-champs... the real place it matters is the seeding for district and that, without any dispute, belongs to DB as the number 1 seed. So, hats off to DB and SHHS for winning 13 and losing 3... double props to DB for giving SHHS 2 of those 3 losses.

what level of college... d1... i don't think so.... maybe some d2 and naia guys

Wattad had 18 at DB (prior to getting elbowed in the head) and he finished with 20 at the palace. The real stat is everyone else on the toppers can't seem to throw a grape in the ocean when they play DB. True, Coty did slow wattad down, and frustrate his game, but NO support = NO win for the toppers. GOOD TEAM effort by the INDIANS (emphasis on TEAM)

Wattad could have gone out there and started jackin from everywhere. Rather, he gave his teammates the ball and was extra unselfish to the point where Topper head coach Ken Cutlip had to tell Omar to shoot more. He ended the game with 14 pts 9 asts and 9 rebs. Just an amazing amount of maturity to realize that the team matters first. Although the Toppers have been inconsistent this year; I saw a wind in their sales tonight that might just get them to Murfreesboro. They got back to playing hard and unselfish. Oh by the way, Wattad now has 2193 points in his career and passed Jovann Johnson's previous record of 2188. CONGRATULATIONS OMAR

That's why Gabe Buchannan? was Co-mvp last year. I don't think they do that, otherwise they would have given it to Omar last year outright. Gabe played phenomenal so he got a share. Nothing wrong with that.... plus the bought and paid for comment is innaccurate.... Wattad is going to be on schollie, and that L.O.I will be signed in the spring. (verbal in the fall, keep options open, nothing better sign in the spring....) so I think he earned his spot on G-town...that is UNLIKE how basketball is in this area (name all the D1 signees in the Big 9 hoops world in the last 10 years... how many high majors?). Hats off to DB on the win, but don't discredit Omar's whole season and career because of the loss, not fair to the individual.

Agreed

I think Coty being hurt inadvertantly helped Coach Morgan NOT have a star on his team. I don't think the Toppers had a choice. IF OMAR wasn't a star player they WOULD BE MEDIOCRE at best. DB is a much deeper team. I don't think Coty is a better individual player than Omar, but I think his supporting cast is FAR BETTER than the guys at SHHS. Answer this hypothetical: Which team would do better, SHHS or DB IF you traded Omar for Coty. I don;t know. I think DB would do better with Omar than SHHS with Coty. NOT because OMAR is SO MUCH better, but because the guys at DB would support OMar, where as the guys at SHHS wouldn't support Coty. I feel bad for Wattad, If he was at greeneville, you have a state contender. If he was at DB you have a state contender. You put him on SHHS, they might contend in region. the problem isn't wattad, or his attitude, or his sportsmanship, the problem is NO TEAM in shhs

What is up with SHHS? Not knocking DB, but how can a team blow out the number 1 team in the state (Greeneville at the time), and then not even be able to keep it close against the Indians. A lot of credit is due to DB, most of it even, but, SHHS is not consistent when it comes to playing hard, or shooting well. How do they fix this UP and DOWN tendency. In the postseason you have to play well, for AT LEAST 6-8 games if you want to make it to state. I haven't seen them put together a streak of longer than 5 when they are really playing well and together. What is the solution?

unfortunately that vido hasn't been "You tubed" and referenced over 20 times, unlike another person's supposedly "unsportsmanlike" video double standard? No way!

Out of those 3 i give the edge to Oglesby on consistancy of shooting. Wiggins for potential, and Wattad on defense and versatility. Oglesby's only disadvantage is his size and lateral quickness. Wiggins has the most potential but the least ready of the 3. Wattad's knock is limited athleticism and inconsistency in 3 pt shot. this year to oglesby, but he does have Dodd and Grothius on his team. Neither wiggins nor wattad has a big like that.

Wattad is shooting the ball like a phenom. 30 pts tonight. 30 points from 2189.All time leading scorer in Science Hill history. Miller wins it. Wattad and Oglesby second and third in either order.

That's like saying, "For Wattad's sake please don't factor the first 13 games of the year where he was playing on a severely sprained ankle..." The fact is Omar outplayed Antwaine, no, dominated him, and if you are considering EITHER as Mr. Basketball, that is something that you should factor into your consideration as well. We don't often get a head to head matchup between possible Mr. Basketball nominee's where the two candidates guard each other and one has a completely lopsided advantage. I realize most people just look at numbers, but to me Mr. Basketball is an overall impact award... head to head battles should count.
