Agree. Playing like they did yesterday, there were several teams In west TN that would have beaten TCA including GC, Westview, USJ, Greenfield, Crockett and even Huntington. As good as TRA is defensively, they are equally as mediocre offensively. Had they had any guard play, they would have been up 20 plus after the first qtr and then just run clock for the win. Someone said that #12 for TCA was just “throwing the ball up” but if TRA hypothetically had a player like her on their team and TCA also had her, then TRA wins that game going away. She can handle the press by herself and then has numbers offensively. TKA will have their hands full tomorrow because no way does TCA play that bad again.

Can’t wait to hear your call of the game tomorrow because I don’t think I will be able to make it in person. Good luck to TCA. No way they come out as shaky as they did on Thursday. I think they win by 20. Then softball season officially starts for everyone!

IMO, TCA wins it all. Tipton had their chances, but they were missing the one thing that wins championships, guard play. Tipton did not learn their lesson the three previous times they played trinity, you can’t throw lob passes cross court against an athletic, long team like them. When they were up 12 with 5 to play and tca was in major foul trouble, Tipton had no one that could just put the ball on the floor and dribble it up the court. That is where TKA I’s different, however lightening will not strike twice in that TCA will NOT play as badly as they did in the first qtr, their main scorers won’t be shut down again, their whole team won’t be in foul trouble, and they won’t have 24 turnovers. I got TCA by 10.

My favorite part of coacht is grown men going back and forth with trash talk only to have their meal of “crow” determined by 14 to 18 year old girls. Final four is going to be a fight to the finish. I got the winner of the TCA - Tipton game, most likely TCA. See ya’ll at Lipscomb....bring a big appetite!

Great post, Trader!

King's Academy will be in the final four with USJ, TCA and Tipton. I think that Tipton may get them in the semi's because as good as those sophomores are, and they are good, sometimes the nerves get younger players on the big stage. Tipton and TCA play for the 4th time for the gold ball. The winner will be determined by how the refs call the game and who gets in foul trouble, if anyone. Going to be fun!

I don't see a team that can compete with TCA. Too long, deep and athletic. Unless they get in MAJOR foul trouble, I think the gold ball comes back to Jackson.

I tell you what, if Greenfield's bus driver keeps getting these girls to their games on time, they are going to win their second Gold Ball in 3 years!

This amazes me! Back in the day, and even 10 years ago, if you made it to a substate game you really accomplished something over your season! What a joke that in our "everyone gets a trophy society" you can now win 1 game in the post season and make it to "sub-state!"

Best player in west TN. Whoever gets her gets good one!

I am pretty sure that there is a school that she has her eyes on and is waiting for.

Greenfield is really good!

Wholeheartedly, Yes! I think 40-45 seconds would be good. Reset to 30 on an offensive rebound.

GC got what they wanted in order to win tonight's game. The big guns did not play well for TCA; however ridiculous turnover after turnover for GC was very uncharacteristic. The team I saw play tonight won't be in Murfreesboro, The team I saw against USJ in the second half, should be. Who are you GC? Should be an interesting rest of the season for them. To me, looks like they need a ball handler to step up and say " I got this for us, follow my lead" and a consistent outside shooter to say "I got your back!" saw neither tonight.

....also I agree based on what I have seen so far. GF will be undefeated when they get to the glass house (unless there is a HUGE flu epidemic in Weakley County that requires their middle school to play the varsity schedule.)

GC coach better be on his A-game this Saturday when he takes on a tough Trinity team. If I were a betting man, I would lay money down on Trinity beating GC. I just don't see how GC matches up with the length of Trinity's guards nor can they match them in the post. Good thing they moved out of GC's district and into D2. They split with them last year and their freshmen this year replacing thelone graduate last year make them significantly better.

Jonesboro was HUGE compared to other teams in west tn, but as another poster wrote they seemed completely disinterested in playing defense. That explains why they have so many losses to me. I just didn't see any hustle on the defensive side of the ball.

GC, You need to edit your signature that appears at the bottom of all your posts to include "2019 Single A State Champs." Didn't ya'll win it all last year?

Congrats to Coach! He has influenced a lot of lives in a positive way while winning all those games! Great man and coach! Good luck the rest of the season! He may just cap it off with a gold ball!

Don't forget the 15-16 Middleton team that was undefeated until the state semi's when GC beat them. Those were 2 solid teams that would probably have split 5-5 if they played 10 times. I won't say you are crazy but I think Loretto will be on the other side of the 5 points. We will see on Saturday. I will be there with all the rest of basketball fans in West TN.

Well said! Let's just play some basketball!

You got that right!

Agree with you Super. It will be interesting to see where she goes to school next year after she wins the gold ball for Greenfield.

At upperman At watertown at Macon at station camp all “W”s look like they are for real but do you ever play a home game?!?

1. Greenfield 2. Loretto everyone else is a distant third. If anyone else wants to compete in this race, you HAVE to step up your guard play or pray these 2 get in major foul trouble. Greenfield just throttled a great tca team loaded with good guards and excellent post players. And I mean throttled on a neutral court!
