I believe the first girls job is now open. That job goes to McKenzie

Not cancelling, leaving the decision up to school districts

My two cents is that the TSSAA should informed teams that a final decision on the tournament will be made on the weekend of April 5th. Therefore, that can give teams a few days off and also let them have some light scrimmages. Then, make the decision on that week whether if the tournament is going to be played or not. If it will be played, girls will be on April 16-17, and the boys will be on April 22-25. Our only hope is that the TSSAA doesn’t fall in line and just cancel everything just because all of the collages have cancelled their games. There’s no doubt the media is blowing this thing out of proportion, who knows what it’ll be like in 3 weeks from now - hopefully good.

Yawn

I haven't been to the Murphy Center in years for a girls state tournament, but I have seen videos on social media and it doesn't look good in terms of attendance. However, for Wednesday games, is this normal? Thinking that some fans can't get off work because of the short notice from Saturday night games... Just curious to see if this is normal for Wednesday games. Obviously, having AAA teams go today, doesn't help.

Not official, but I am hearing North Side could very well be the first "opening" of the spring.

There's a school in Memphis that went 1-25 in the 2016/17 season. That one win, they won by one point. In the 2017/18 season, they went 5-23 In the 2018/2019 season, they went 16-15 This year, they went an astonishing 29-4 and broke numerous school records. Do you believe this school is cheating, too? Because what you said (what I indicated in bold) is very similar to this team.

Trying to remember the last time West Tennessee had four finalists (in which they were all deserving) and two winners (in which they both are deserving as well). Well done by the players and the voters. Usually, they are wrong about something in other sports, but they got them correct in women's basketball. I wish Macey, Khyla, Chloe, and Tess the best of luck as they entered their last few weeks of high school seniors, and the best as they moved off to college in August. We are truly losing four amazing people! Go Gibson County, Westview, and Greenfield! I'll be rooting for y'all as all of us have moved on to the diamond.

Is it too late for a high school senior basketball player to sign and play D-1 ball? She's amazing and I can't understand what's the situation of what is going on with her. Hopefully, she's holding out for a school and/or she is planning on signing after the season. Hopefully!

Agreed, usually players that play both sports they'll break it in half by semesters. Also, I don't expect there to be a "clear cut favorite" in baseball this season to reach Murfreesboro. Yes, Peabody and Huntingdon will be favorites in 1A, but there's not a version of "Greenfield in girls basketball" or "Peabody in football" to reach state in baseball.

If he was a pitcher, then why is he playing football?

Hey, I just want to say welcome to this thing called the playoffs. Last time I checked, we're now in March, correct? The possessions are limited, the physicality of the game will increase, there's more to play for. I'll recommend watching hockey. Go watch hockey now, then watch playoff hockey, it's two different things. And I love it. I'm sure you'll love it, too.

Stoppp Lake County will beat Westview this year. All LC have to do is score 21 points (if you know, you know), and I'm not buying in the Ripley hype until I see it. However, I wouldn't be shock if West Carroll takes down Lake County. I do believe 1A in West Tennessee will be down in 2020.

From the west side of the state, I believe the two teams that will go will be north of I-40. A lot of turnmoil has happened in good ole West Tennessee this past offseason. I think 13-AA will be down drastically. I like Covington this year, but no one in West Tennessee have a legit shot, including Lexington.

Probably a better QOL

Speaking of softball at TCA, is Coach Craft back?

Hey, rook (@JacksonSportsFan07) please tell me what school that @ManOfMillions mentioned other than South Gibson? I'll be waiting

Welcome to CoachT, who's your school that you're representing?

If you think South Side is favored to win it all, then I think you're in a treat for Monday night. Needless to say, this is not an "elimination game" but it is an elimination game in my book. Has South Gibson played a better and tougher schedule than South Side? Absolutely, but I can't carry weight regarding to South Side games against the Missouri teams, I'm referring to Tennessee teams only. I will say that District 13-AA is weak in both boys and girls basketball, and we need to do a better job in basketball, because it's top heavy and the bottom teams aren't relevant by any means. Wouldn't shock me if South Gibson wins though. Want to be successful in basketball? Just hire a Wilkins and stay patient. Give me SGC +8.

I went to this game. I'm an advocate of installing a shot clock in high school basketball, tonight is another example.

I'm going to say "hold your horses" real quick. I looked at their schedule off Max-preps and they got plummeted a few times. There closest margin of defeat was by 15, and they were beat by 30+ a few times. I would say they will probably win 2 or 3 times, but the point separation is so dramatic where if Heritage (Hookfin's team) improves and the opponents don't improve, the opponents will still have enough talent to win. A lot of times, Hookfin won games at Liberty and Haywood based on talent. Arguably one of the reasons why he didn't win the "big game."

Release your sources then..... You're making an attack at Arlington then coming back with a question of "Can this be true?" I mean, come on man....

Agreed, the athletics in West Tennessee are better if you're north of I-40 than it is south of I-40. Basketball for sure, and you can add football to that as well.

Agreed, I think Haskins knew he didn't have to go all out on last night's game, which some people are upset by that I guess. I was impressed with Scotts Hill's girls basketball program this year.

Yeah, the McNairy game was a surprised to me as well. I thought them and South Side would win, but eventually Dyersburg (which arguably should've lost last night) and Westview would be the two teams in region. I want to say two years ago, a lot of McNairy people wanted him gone, won over 800 games but nothing legit to show for. With KWW now gone, who knows...
