Geez! Maybe that would make schools become more competitive in academics. People are going to want their kids to get a good education to. What if a kid lives in a school district that is below academic standards? Should that kid be penalized for wanting a better education and he or she happens to play sports? I personally don’t think so but I’m sure you and several others might disagree. What if it was your kid in that situation? Would you still feel the same way?

LOL! Pointing out that this happens in Memphis a lot. I could go on with examples through the years but that's not my intent. People were talking about CA's team and I was just pointing out the obvious. Like I said in the post basketball is different than most the other sports. I personally believe kids should play where they want to play without any penalties. Some people wouldn't like this but is it not about the kids?

First of all congrats to CA on a great year! You showed Tennessee that you were the best in 1A this year. Second I'm tired of reading all the whining about players transfering in to play basketball. I didn't hear anyone complaining about Memphis Hamilton last year. They had 3 players that played for someone else the year before. They won 2AA last year. The Memphis school do this ALL THE TIME. Plus basketball is different than a lot of the other sports. What I mean by this is the AAU ball. Most of the players play together or play against each other. So they might transfer a little more than in other sports. Thats just how it is.. I don't have a solution for any of this but all schools are not always going to have the same playing field. Again congrats to Columbia Academy on a great year.

Congrats to the Bearden Bulldogs on a State Championship. They had a great team this year.

If that happens then Knoxville will have more gold than Memphis in basketball. LOL!

I'll take Bearden in 3AAA in what should be a great game. 2AA should be another great game with Fulton and Wooddale. I'll take Wooddale in a real close game. In 1A I'll take Columbia Academy in the last game of the day. Should be a good day of basketball.

I believe Columbia wins it tomorrow. They don’t really have that many weaknesses.

Lol! Maybe you know what I'm talking about now. That have a better nucleus of talent and play better as a team. Senior laden team that has been here. Your bias couldn't see that but now you do. Bearden is for real and they should have a chance to win it tomorrow. I actually gave Whitehaven too much credit.

Murrell is the best athlete on the floor tomorrow, no doubt. The shot he hit against Southwind was unbelievable. That’s the play of the year for Whitehaven so far.

Lol! You can take it however you like. I have watched to many basketball games to know I can't always be right. Lol! Foul trouble, turnovers, and a bad shooting night can change any game, one way or the other. Should be a great game with two very good teams.

Lol! I haven't declared Bearden an 8 point victor. Just giving my opinion that I think they will win by 8. Could win by 1 or lose by 8. Who knows??? They still have to play the game.

Manassas is in deep trouble against CA. I told you they were pretty good.

Maybe, I meant match-up problem for Bearden. You and I don't have a clue how the game is going to turn out tomorrow. Just trying to give my opinion. Sorry If doesn't jive with your opinion. I've only missed one State Championship game so far (Brentwood). Whitehaven could very much win tomorrow but I think Bearden gets to the Championship game. Bearden played without their best player at least half the year.

I think they have a better nucleus of talent than Whithaven. Sometimes it’s a about match ups too. Maybe Whitehaven wins but I’ll take Bearden by 8. Don’t forget they had East on the ropes in last years semifinal game. They have everyone back but one player from last years team.

Cleveland will get beat by 20+. I would like to see Cleveland shock the world but Memphis East is really good.

Bearden is very good and should play for the Championship. That team doesn’t have too many weaknesses. Whitehaven will have their hands full on Friday.

Good game Wooddale you have a very good team. However the 10 fouls to 2 in the second half was a little ridiculous. IMO.

Lol! Wooddale is bringing it here in the second half.

Would love to see the Knoxville schools take down the Memphis schools.

Wow! The free throw that EN missed and got the rebound was huge. Howard put in a kid at least 3 inches shorter than the guy who got the rebound for EN. A lot of missed plays by both teams but that play stood out.

I'll take Bearden and Memphis East in the AAA title game.

Whitehaven will probably win but I expect it to be close at the half. Unless Sevier County comes out shell shocked from being there. If that happens it could be close to 30.

Well I'm not to sure about that but we shall see. District 4 is good every year and the memphis district is good year in and year out. These two districts played for the championship last year and have a good chance this year. I'm predicting a Fulton vs Wooddale Champiomship game.

The Knoxville teams should match up well with the Memphis schools. I’ll say 1-1 with Fulton winning and AE losing in a close one.

I’ve seen Columbia Academy play around Christmas. Columbia Academy is a very solid single A team. I haven’t seen Manassas but would be surprised if they won by 10 or more. That’s based on what I’ve seen of Columbia Academy. Maybe Manassas is that good.
