Televising it would work better. I'm talking about some process that can be more transparent and prevents people from feeling as if the brackets were not actually set up via a "blind draw". so televise it.

If they are going to continue to do a blind draw it needs to happen prior to the region tournament. that way everyone sees it is not hand picked.

I really don't have one school i follow but you are right. South Side seems to always get a tough draw... And you are right. South Gibson seems to get a good draw last year and this year.

It just doesn't make sense in 3A for Chester County to play South Gibson and South Side to play Dyersburg. I get the blind draw and it is what it is but I still think it is trash! Of course you are right. Doesn't matter who you play, just go win.

I guess you all are right, Hard to talk about 3 or 4 classes and not discuss privates. Of course when the voucher system goes into effect along with the one transfer with no penalty of sitting out a year and the NIL coming into the high school ranks, then it will be like the wild wild west.

I love this idea.

Are there representatives from each school there?

Agree - But if every year was Regions 1 V 5, 2 V 6, 3 V 7, 4 V 8 every year would that help?

This is so wrong. The T$$AA has to set a standard bracket and just leave it alone. This would take the pressure off of them and would stop all the rumors about the T$$AA deciding who plays who and how can we get the biggest crowd to make the most money. Just set a standard bracket so every year you know who you are playing when get there. Example Region 1 vs Region 5- Region 2 vs Region 6, Region 3 vs Region 7 and Region 4 vs Region 8. That is what I would do if I were deciding. But... I'm not so I will watch 4 West TN teams from class 3A play against each other tomorrow. Trash.

T$$AA = Trash for these state tournament match ups

It is trash!! They don't want an all west TN Final four!!!

South Gibson and Dyersburg punched their ticket to the state tournament in the region semi-finals. South Gibson made it possible for them to go to state tournament in the district consolation by getting beat and going opposite Dyersburg in the region. This district will have 2 teams going to state tournament for a long time to come. Memphis girls basketball is just not very good at all. Complete opposite on the boys side. LOL

Fayette Ware by 12

No way to answer that question! you would have to give specific teams - districts - regions in order to answer that question.

Dyersburg fell a little short - I miss this pick. I saw them a couple of times this season and they were really good both times. This is why I love basketball. On any given day... Well, you do have to have some ball players but on any given day any team can win. But, like I said, you have to have some ball players.

No doubt

yes. not sure what this post is talking about. I'm a little confused.

those days are gone for now in West TN public schools. Not sure about private outside of Jackson but the answer is a no for West Tn.

SGC has a clear road back to the state tournament: Beat Fayette Ware - Realistically a game that SGC should win easily - Beat Crockett in the Semi which is not too much to ask and actually I think they should win that game as well. They do that and they are back in the state tournament. Not a rough road to get there honestly.

probably had kids out sick. there were so many teams had kids miss games earlier in the season. I don't know this to be a fact but could have played a role

West TN it may be Dyersburg. I think they win their region Tournament. Not sure about Munford, Egypt and Ridgeway but Dyersburg has legit 6'8" post guy, several shooters and a PG that can play. They have all the pieces. They also guard you.

I watched the consolation and finals for 13AAA last night and here are my take aways: 1. Dyersburg is legit - Their 6'8" kids played so tough last night. Guards shot it and didn't turn it over. Coach's son is best player in the gym last night 2. Dyer County seemed "off". Like the things they were doing usually worked and it wasn't working. they didn't make shots and gave up a lot of easy shots and wide open 3's. 3. Obion has improved alot since I saw them way earlier in the year. They shoot it so good. 4. South Gibson is small. they have good PG play and decent shooters but they don't have any size. Length will bother them in a big way. Apparently they lost a kid to injury according to a fan I talked to last night.

This is how is use to be... Not anymore... Players play/officiate/coach coaches coach/officiate refs officiate/put on a show parents officiate/coach/put on a show

so no teams on the other side of this region has a chance to beat obion or south gibson?

This region... WOW!!!
