Easton Upchurch drops 37 points on 17 attempts to Lead Maryville Past Gallatin in the Renasant Bank Trny at Maryville TN

Webb vs Fulton should be a competitive game, Fulton doesn't have near the team that they have had the last couple years Maryville vs Bradley Central will be a Tough Matchup, Maryville has beaten Bradley once this Season already but Bradley Central is a Much Improved Team since their Last Game Should be some Good Games

I agree with you UCM. I would bet the main reason Endicott didn't fit in at Celina is that they just wanted to use him to rebound & set picks for Key, & that's OK for some kids but Endicott is a kid that can play & was underutilized at Celina. Kid is doing great at UHS, playing better comp consistently & is used in a much more productive fashion. Players want to play, not watch others play,when one kid shoots over half the shots you got problems, especially if they get in foul trouble, but judging by the Celina scores I doubt they will get in foul trouble given the fact you usually pick up fouls by playing aggressive Defense

Celina has no shot at winning the State Tourny. And Macon Co is weak as water, UHS is the only good team in that District. If anyone thinks that Celina will get past good teams by shooting layups then you are smoking some good stuff, good team won't let them. Size won't be a big deal because let's face it, it's single A basketball & there is very little size in Single A. Celina will probably get to the State Tourny because it's a very easy path for them, but winning it is a completely different story. Saying that I wish them all the best & I hope they do win it all

Easton Upchurch of Maryville High School, kid can shoot on the move or catch & shoot, can create his own shot from just about anywhere on the floor, has very good range & is consistent, quick release & great form

That's Coaching/Teaching. To much Coaching & Not Enough Teaching

Absolutely needs a shot clock, If you can't get a good shot is 35 seconds then the coach isn't teaching basketball. That to me is the main problem, the game is not being taught, coaches that have to call a play every time down the floor are hindering the growth of the player, Ever heard "Players over Plays". Bob Knight never called plays, as a matter of fact he said that if he had to call a play for a player then you aren't a basketball player.If the game is taught properly then very few plays should ever need to be called,teaching proper spacing,lanes & how to utilize the entire court to your teams advantage. Another thing that needs to be changed is the no-charge zone under the basket, I see far to many kids not playing defense but instead setting up to take a charge under the net, defense is played out in front of the rim,not below the net, it's lazy & dangerous to take a charge under the net & should never be called.

CAK is a very small school....Single A I think

Yes., Bigger kids usually come on later. Endicott has a skill set rarely found in 6'8" High School Kids. Best of Luck to Him & his family as he begins his College Baseball Career at Cincy

Yes...He could have played D1 Basketball without a Doubt. Had multiple D1 Coaches interested in him, he just wanted to play baseball & nothing wrong with that. Just because you played doesn't make you an expert. I played also, Endicott is a excellent player with high upside, can dribble,pass & shoot with range,good defender at 6'8" that's a heck of a talent. Add 30lbs & a red shirt then he is a possible High Major. NO QUESTION

I have seen 6'7 thru 6'10 play against Endicott on the ADIDAS Circuit & that is a heck of a lot tougher than High School or playing summer basketball at mom & pop tournaments in Cookeville,Rockwood etc,etc. Endicott is a D1 Basketball Player. Sorry to bust your bubble but he could have played Basketball or Baseball, he just chose baseball & given the landscape & numbers of the 2 sports I can't say I blame him

Endicott is a Heck of a Player...Saying he isn't is just ridiculous

With Endicott I would predict that Upperman would win, but we may never know. He is by far their best player & a good rim protector

Agreed: Just because you go undefeated in a bad district (cant control a bad district) & beat up on bad single A teams does NOT mean that you are a good team. Word of advise to ALL High School Coaches, Play a Tough Schedule,plenty of good teams within a 3 hour drive, you do NOT get better by playing Weak Teams and winning Pointless Games Early in the Season, the Entire Point is to be Winning Late in the Season. And this advise is to ALL High School Coaches. Strength of Schedule Matters

Interesting, for a School like Maryville that supposedly prides itself as the Elite School I find it a Contradiction of sorts. Most all schools in the area have better support from what I have seen

Terrible calls both ways, second was a make up call. Heritage, Farragut, Bearden have Great Fan Support, Maryville on the other hand has terrible Fan Support, Sad Really for a school that size to have so little support. But was a fun environment

Great Atmosphere, would have liked to see the Fulton Starters actually play, 2nd group for Fulton are not close to being ready. Note to All High School Coaches,take a page from Oak Ridge Coach on how to prepare your kids, PLAY TOUGH COMP EARLY and stop worrying about wins and losses early in the year, COMPETITION MATTERS and if your not playing Quality Teams it shows up Later. Nice to see people actually support their program instead of just talking about it

Agreed. I don't have a single family member in district 8AA, but for someone to say that Blevens isn't the best kid in that district is comical. I guarantee you every coach in that region regardless of classification would take him first if they were picking teams. No Brainer, Some folks think with their heart instead of their brain

He chose Tech because it was close to home, He was also recruited by Virginia,Mercer and Tennessee was inquiring. Kid can play, he is a D1 player getting a full scholarship at a D1 School,name 1 other kid from that district in 2016 that will get a D1 basketball scholarship. I will wait for your educated response. MVP means Most Valuable Player & IMO he is by far and away the MVP. My Opinion. Don't care either way

OK, You have your opinion and are entitled to it. Like I said Blevins is a D1 Player, that should say enough. I have seen York play and IMO without him they may win 2 games at the most but I doubt it, different game driving to the rim with him in the game vs when he isn't,his presence around the basket on defense is worth 15 points alone. MVP should go to the BEST PLAYER regardless of wins and losses IMO, sometimes the best player is simply on a Bad Team...And if you think that Blevins is playing lazy, that's Coaching IMO. But even if he is lazy he is still the best in that District & Upperman has the 2nd best College Prospect (2017)

Take Blevins off York and they wouldn't win a single game. Blevins is a Division1 Player and the ONLY D1 Player in the Entire District in the Class of 2016. Hands down the MVP, its makes for a very different game when the opposing Coachs entire game plan is to slow down 1 player,sees double teams with help coming every night. Top 5 player in the State and possibly the best player in the State(most college potential) not many 6'8" guys out there that can do what Blevins can do,shoot from 25,handle the ball,good defender & very unselfish(should shoot more) I do Not have a Dog in this at all,but Blevins is the best Player in that District in the Class of 2016 Hands Down

Regardless, ridiculous amount of fouls, referees need to chill and let them play, nobody going to a game to see 50 plus foul shots. HORRIBLE

Read in Paper that Farragut shot 37 free throws...How is that even possible??

91 as a matter of fact, trying to outlive Moses. And YES, I love a good Shine
