As I posted earlier CPA is very good, Blackwell is great & with Mr. Campbell at point & the remainder of the supporting cast, they will be difficult to handle. Take nothing away from the team but when you have the ability to get kids from other states to move to Tennessee to play for you there is almost no way to compete for a public school. The only other teams with the ability to compete with that are the privates. Having said that, they knew they had been in a game last night as the boys from CW never quit & kept coming. I'm not sure CPA has seen that from a local public school at least this year. CW is a very good team and show very poorly last nigh (give credit to the physical defense of CPA for some of that). CW still has a chance to make some noise as long as they can get over this lose before heading to Pearl.

Agreed but even Edmondson couldn't check without fouling. Just a great player. But the run was the ballgame IMHO.

CW's weakness is against a team with size. But not many people have Blackwell's size & ability. One thing CW can do is go up and down the court with anyone and they're never out of it because of how well they normally shoot the 3.

CW had no answer for Blackwell. Campbell was also difficult. The big start by CPA was what CW didn't need but they never quit and kept coming CW has a good shot in sectional. Give CPA credit they are good of course they should be!

Late to this Board but I was at the game Friday night as a high school football fan. No affiliation with either school. Thought the game turned on Waynce CO. early. They had several opportunities and couldn't take advantage. When NCS got the breaks they took advantage. Speed on the corners was also a big difference because Wayne Co. was not able to establish the run. Thought some of the 3rd down calls were curious for Wayne Co. But if Wayne Co. can score on any of those early opportunites it's a different game, maybe not a different winner but a different game. But again, NCS' defense was good and kept Wayne Co. off balance. Do believe Givens and Bituli will have to have a little better composure once they get to the next level. NCS vs. Columbia Academy could be a good one.

Looks like you missed that JB score! I would have tended to agree with you prior to the game but JB didn't look very good and McEwen looked better than they had. Neither of these teams are in danger of winning the Gold Ball or even getting past the 1st round IMO.

Let me say thank you for putting this event on FREE OF CHARGE TO THE PLAYERS! My son played in this event and was happy to put on his school uni one last time! He was able to play with several kids he had played with and against over the years and had one last great time as a high school player! I think this is a great event and I hope it grows even bigger. This is a great opportunity for kids who have put in many years of hard work to get some acknowledgement for their efforts. My son had a great coach but in my invovlement over the years I do know how difficult it is to get coaches to participate, after the sesason is over and you can only beg so much to get coaches to nominate their players. I'm sure some good players were missed but all 4 teams were talented and there were 2 good games. Everyone involved deserved to be there. Thank you again and I will be in the stands every year that you put this on! Thank you again for giving my son one more high school opportunity as well!

Yes he was. That was Coach Rye's 2nd stint as Head Coach of the Cougars. Good luck to you Coach Parker.

You may be correct but losing to CPA and Spring Hill is not a bad feat. Would not surprise me for both of those teams to make it to the 'Boro. Spring Hill is playing well, they swing it and play solid defense. May not have have as much pitching as they have in the past but a solid rotation. Lamm does a good job. As for CPA, Coach Nesbitt has them playing well. They swing the bat and once they get on they put a lot of pressure on your defense with extrememly aggresive baserunning. 2 very good teams, as were Lewis County and Creek Wood. Think any of those 4 good have made a run to State on the right nights.

Doesn't have to be best 2 of 3. Region could be 4 teams from Region in a double elimination series. On Monday 1 vs. 2 from each district. Tuesday, winners of 1st 2 game play and losers of 1st 2 games play. Tuesday winner of winners game hosts sectional. Wednesday Loser of winners game plays winner of losers game and winner of that game goes on road in sectional. Still have sectional to determine state tourney participants. Doesn't take any longer than current system and a team has to have more than 1 arm to get to State. In AAA in current system you get to ride 1 arm into state tournament. I'm only using Tullahoma as an example because they are a good team but they pitched Sheffield last night and beat a great Siegel team. Siegel goes home and now Tullahoma rest him Wednesday and win or lose is no difference because they pitch him Friday to go to the State tourney. I like my chances of getting to the 'Boro riding Sheffield whether I am on the road or at home.

In regional order - Knox. Grace, North Greene, Boyd Buchanan, Goodpasture, Summertown, Community, McKenzie, Jackson Christian. I pick Summertown & Goodpsture in the finals with Summertown to win it all. They are stout for a single A team. But Goodpsture is pretty dang good as well. Haven't seen many single A public schools as loaded as Summertown ever.

Have to agree with ECU, worst bracket I have ever seen! If you are going to do it this way & it plays out as davidlimbaught sets forth, which it will & did, why even have a district tournament? Why not just say regular season #1 hosts Region & #2 travels! Let's not waste the time & $ on this tourney because few teams in high school would have the pitching depth to win that kind of bracket unless you are the #1 or #2. And let me say Spring Hill is pretty deep in the bullpen especially for a AA team.

Creek Wood over Montgomery Central 10-8. Await the winner of the South bracket. Sounds like they had some electrical issues in a Hohenwald.

Not that it matters but actual score was 14-0 in that game. Question for a Hickman County fan in the know. I assume Logan Peeler is your best pitcher, why did he not throw against Montgomery Central yesterday? Sounds like 2 good games in Hohenwald last night with the 2 favorites having to come from behind. How much pitching did Waverly & Lewis expend? Not that it matters with the weekend to rest. CW-Montgomery Central should be a a good one as should Waverly-Lewis County. Camden could still make some noise in Hohenwald.. Doesn't seem to me to be the best format, allowing so much time between games. I think playing straight through would provide a better indicator of the best team in a tournament.
