Upperman handles LA tonight 69-56.

I will say this when UHS goes to Macon you better get there early as it will be packed. With so much on the line and such a lopsided win loss record the last dozen or more years. They will be loaded for bear. IMHO opinion if they don't get it this year it may be ugly as UHS is younger than Macon and have solid players coming in next year from middle school.

Legend. I've herd for a couple of years now how great a coach the Macon girls coach is. What qualifies him as such? Only been back in TN 4 years so not bashing just asking.

Crossville I think?

I agree completely. They had three girls score and I believe the third one to score hit one 3.

You were correct they didn’t hold Carter to 9. She had 11 points.

Upperman has Macon tonight, LA Friday night and YI next Friday night all at home. Then YI and LA do not play again till 2/5 at LA. It may come down to the end before we figure out who will come out on top or the top 2. It will be an interesting 3 weeks.

I was curious about the coaches. Both have won over 600 games. Looks like coach White has won 638 games in 41 years. Looks like coach McWilliams has won 631 in 24 years. I think state tourney appearances are pretty even. I would say district and region championships are pretty lopsided as well as sub-state wins. Nothing official just a very little bit of looking. Now as far as who is the better coach it depends on your definition.

Since there has been some talk about the coaches. How do they stack up? Wins and losses. Trips to the state and so on. I've heard a lot about how good Coach White is but do not know much about him.

Well all of the speculation will be partially settled Tuesday night at Upperman. No more this one beat that one by more or this one plays better team ball. I feel l like it will take a team effort from the winning team.

I did. JV boys looked better than they did when they came to UHS a few weeks ago. Played more as a team and defense was better. Less out of control play a fewer turnovers. UHS JV won by 10 or 12 I think. Previous game was almost 30 point loss. Varsity boys played better than I was under the impression they would. Still see a few issues. They appeared to play keep away from the big boy #12 many times he had position inside but they wouldn't give him the ball. He did a decent job rebounding and playing defense. I would think he had a double as well as 5 or 6 blocks. He had 3 or 4 put backs on offensive rebounds. #10 is a solid player and shoots well. They have one player IMHO that may be an issue for the team. They didn't play as well the 2nd half not sure if that is overall conditioning or what the issue may be. I do believe they have a bit of an issue with one player. There a heavy senior team so will loose most of the starters after this season.

I think in the 1st half they were timid. Shots that I bet have been falling we’re not. Yet they kept the score low and close. Second half defense wasn’t there as they were picked off by multiple screen allowing the lady bees to get easy layups and turned the ball over to much. The bees pickup more hustle turn overs in the 2nd half. I honestly don’t believe they thought they could win.

JV boy play at Dekalb today 4:15 or 4:30 I believe.

RBS has G-ville and Clay coming up. We will see how they do with those two teams. I've not seen RBS play this season but would like to. May go to the G-ville game tomorrow.

I've not seen the Dekalb varsity play yet. The JV I've seen a couple of times once at Upperman play day and again at Watertown. I a years time kids can change significantly but as of now not a ton of help coming up from JV. At the UHS play day they had a big kid 6' 3" maybe #210 not bad had a decent game but didn't see him at Watertown figured they pulled him up to varsity.
