Clay County needs to shut down Weathers to have a chance in this game. Limit her touches and make her earn every point. This will be a tall task for CC but it’s doable for sure.  Loretto is thinking they got a huge break by missing Summertown and Clarkrange and I guess they did but Clay is no joke!

Clay County will not shut down Karly, she is good for 20/25 points every game. She is too skilled, and she is great at getting her teammates good looks when she penetrates. In my opinion, everybody has one, the key to beating Loretto this year is to try to limit everyone else. If Loretto can get 2/3 other players into or close to double digits, it’s gonna beat hard to beat them.

Summertown struggled in a facets of the game except GRIT, and comes out with a great win over a very good team... 2 of the teams that were arguably favored to win it all are out... #winandadvance

Loretto lost their 2 best players.  Richland looks as if they've improved greatly based on your record. Some impressive wins!

?? Hankins and Sirmones were most definitely there tonight.

Anyone can watch the video.  Don't be ignorant on here. 

 

Offensive possession, we pass to our post, your defender hustles to attempt a steal and clobbers our post who's awaiting the pass.  Foul was called on our post.  Blatant clean block on Campbell was called a foul..  Several body checks and reach in's were allowed to slide.  Summertown is a Great defensive team, Great!  But in Murfreesboro,  you would've had 15+ fouls in the second half alone tonight.  Im a big Summertown fan when they aren't playing Loretto.  I applauded y'alls performance after game 2, and said nothing about the officiating because there was nothing to say.  Again, I applaud Summertown on their handles, brilliant efficiency from the line, well coached pressure, as well as many other things, but anyone with eyes could see the refs were missing a lot of calls tonight.

 

The team fouls were 10-10 with :56 left in the game....Both sides can say more fouls could have been called. What hurts Loretto in my opinion is they don’t have great ball handlers against pressure, obviously besides Karly. When Karly goes out of the game or doesn’t have the ball in her hands, they really struggle to get into a good offensive flow.

I'm just reading what your writing.  Loretto had 3 all district players on its team and Karly was one of them.   If you'd said without Hart that Gibson would not be a good team, I'd said that was a dumb statement too.  That quote being read by anyone would take it just the way you stated it.  Need to learn how to craft your sentences before posting them.  The statement you were referring to was made by a Summertown fan,  you were quoting from that and had nothing to do with Loretto.  That was all you !

Loretto has some good players but without Karly, Loretto would not be included in any of the conversations being had about teams with potential to win the gold ball. She draws so much attention that she creates a lot of opportunities for the other players. If Kary wasn’t on the floor, I’m not sure those players could carry the team as far as they may possibly go this season. I don’t think any disrespect was meant.

It’s definitely the best draw. I don’t think we’ll be seeing a Ryan Weathers this year. 

Your correct, you will not be seeing Ryan Weathers. But, if Loretto throws their #2  James in the first game, you will see Mr. Baseball (front runner IMO), Tennessee commit Blade Tidwell. Just coming off a no-no and walk off grand slam. He can run it up to 94-95 mph. It could be a great matchup round 2 potentially.

Some !!! / no momentum when ref call so onesoded but hats off to GC could been closer but too much youth for Stown / good experience for our freshmen  & eighth graders / sophomores been there before should of played better only 14 played like been there before / looks like early softball for defending State championships / we take all sports seriously  hope GC make to softball state but probably not 

Summertown had too many turnovers to beat a good team in a state tournament. To say the other 2 sophomores didn’t play like they had been there before was an unfair statement . #22 was basically taken out of the game with foul trouble and  #23 had 6 points and 5 rebounds against a good defensive team. #14 had an above average game for her offensively (9 points) but only having 1 assist from your point guard and 0 rebounds is not a reflection of “been there before”. The freshman post had 11 points, 12 rebounds and 5-5 on fg’s (according to tssaa). The “youth” hasn’t hurt them before. Summertown was there the previous 2 years with youth BUT had veteran leadership. I do expect them to return the next 2 years.

I was at the state championship scrub. You assume to know a lot about everything but every time you open your mouth you prove you don’t. I’ve seen Greenfield play and if you think they have two players better than Karly, you’re biased or delusional.

Greenfield may be the better team and I don’t care if Weathers is a freshman, she’s as good a single A player as there is in the state. To say you have a couple better than her because she’s a freshman is disrespectful of the kid. 

Exactly when did I say those 2 were better? I said Weathers was one of the best freshman I have seen play and those 2 were very good as well.........I just hope Loretto draws Greenfield and we can see these great players go head to head....

Several ridiculous cross court passes  by huntingdon led to 3 turnovers in the last 2 min, they give up 5 unanswered points and they lose.  55-54 Summertown advances. 

Summertown probably led majority of the game, until Huntingsons run late 3rd, early 4th.... give Summertown some credit.... great game 

Summertown wins

More people would come anyways to watch both teams instead of one.  We already have 1 or 2 other teams in the region playing on the same night so what's the problem? T$$A all about the money which doesn't surprise me...

Wayne County/Huntingdon and West Carroll/ Summertown both play each other in both girls and boys. I could see where it would save the traveling teams transportation money if taking a bus. The home team would actually lose money because of gate as well, not sure if they will adjust the entrance fee for this.

T$$AA

Summertown/West Carroll girls and boys will play both games  on Friday night.

With Summertown and West Carroll playing against each other in the boys and girls game, what are the odds that they play both games on one night? It would make more since. Thoughts

Thanks for the info!! It is hard when the other district is 2 hours away and the teams don't play the same teams that you play. Sounds like Loretto and Summertown may have another battle for the district title if they win their semifinal games tonight. Wayne County and Perry County sound like they are solid teams and they will be a tough matchup for either Huntingdon or McKenzie. West Carroll got upset the other night by Huntingdon in the district semis so they will be a tough matchup for 12A's runner up. I haven't seen flim or watched any of your teams play, but sounds like yall have some great teams.

Upsets can definitely throw a kink into things come this time of year, I noticed where Huntingdon and West Carroll split during the regular season. If WC is the better team, it does put the best 2 11A teams in the same side of the regional bracket with the 12A runner up..... which means on the 12A side, being the 1 seed would be an advantage for sure, as far as making to a substate game.

Region 6A tournament is right around the corner! District 11 has two great teams (McKenzie and West Carroll), and a solid team (Huntingdon). District 11 should be more competitive this year than last year. I know that in 12A the top three are Summertown, Loretto, and Wayne County. Don't know much about District 12 teams, so let us 11A folks know about them. Should be a fun tournament at Bethel. Who wins the 6A region?

12A Top 2 teams have been Loretto and Summertown.. Loretto beat Summertown at home by 3 and won by 4 at Summertown in 3 OT. Their district semifinals are tonight at Perry County. The next 2 teams are Wayne County and Perry Co. They split in the regular season, each winning at home. 

Loretto has good guard play with a big (about 6’6”) athletic post. Not a lot of perimeter shooting but gets to the rim. 

Summertown is guard oriented. Starts 5 seniors, shoots the 3 a lot. Doesn’t have much size other than a SG (about 6’5”) and  their post player (about 6’3”) but he is quick and has a motor. 

Wayne County starts 5 seniors (I believe). They have 3 very good players, 1 of those being about 6’5”’athletic post to go along with shooters around them.  Best player is Risner, he can score from perimeter to post. 

Perry County isn’t very big but maybe the best coached team. They have some young guards but they are good players. They also have active post players.

amything can happen in a tourney we all know. 

I believe Loretto, Summertown, McKenzie are top 3 teams in the region. No particular order.

Can’t wait to see her play. She must have big time stats to make a Miss Basketball finalist as a freshman. Could you post them for us. 

Pretty sure she is averaging about 20 ppg and shoots 80% from the line. I don’t know all her other stats but she is very good for a freshman and makes her teammates better, she gets everyone on the team good looks at the basket.

9 minutes ago, 1MustangFan said:

Yeah. Ok. They have 2 or 3 5’10” guards with multiple SEC offers that are ranked top 10 in their class? Can’t wait to see this team. 

Maybe do a little homework before posting.. Greenfield has 2 players that were Miss Basketball finalist last year. Maybe they don’t have SEC offers yet, may get them may not. But Miss Basketball is an award for your high school season not based on offers or who your daddy or brother is. Weathers is one of the best freshman players I have seen and I think her upside is crazy but don’t disrespect other players you have not even seen play.. I have seen Weathers play multiple times, she is definitely good but those two from Greenfield are very good also. If you were in the State Championship game last year like my daughter was, you could have seen them play. Loretto has a very good chance to make it to state and I expect them to as well as Greenfield. So maybe you will get an up close look at these 2... Good Luck to everyone, Single A basketball is loaded at the top... cat wait for this season to play out.

If someone knows, I would be interested to see these lady’s stats for this season... I know stats don’t tell the whole story, just curious.

With just a few district games left, the top 4 teams have pretty much shaken out. Anything can happen in a tournament game but Loretto, Summertown, Wayne Co. And Perry Co. have shown to be the better teams. Loretto/Summertown have big game Friday night which could have implications in district tournament seeding. Along with PC/WC playing the same night which could determine who finishes 3rd and 4th.... Tournaments are about matchups and PC has the home court for the district tourney.... It will be interesting to see.

Exciting to see all the teams battle it out for the top spot. Your region foes in District 11 are watching closely. We have a big game Friday against Columbia academy so we will see how we play against a better opponent. 

How did it go playing a better opponent?
