Unrelated, but the drives from Montgomery Central & Creekwood out to Portland for a district game are brutal!!

Who draws the lines on these districts?

Point is... you take away yalls last 2 years(which one is 17-11) record away & y’all speaking on we ain’t played nobody! Stop it! Y’all can’t win a game lol. Like I said we ain’t talking to y’all we hearing y’all talking all that non sense! I pray we play y’all! I will be meeting each & every one of PC’s fans! 

Not me. I'm from Cali and my boy's team has been out for a minute.

But if someone says you ain't played anyone this year, then it's just that. Who cares what kids did from 5-6 yrs ago. Just sit tight and let it play out. 

That said - If a team can beat East 4x in a season, then they're the truth.

^ what’s your point? The kids from Southsides ‘14 class still have eligibility?

where they do that at?

There was rumors its supposed to be on tv but idk how true that is. 

Yesssssir... looks like something is on at 7p tomorrow channel 1030 on Xfinity. Can’t confirm it’s THAT game but hoping it is.

Asking here too... anywhere to watch the game online tomorrow?

Is there anyway to watch the Pearl v East game online tomorrow? Please tell me someone is on it?

^ makes sense

Cheathams a tough place to win, even when they’re down...

how did Westmoreland score 45 on East though. East 76-45

Cheatham upset the 3 seed Heritage tonight by 3 in overtime! This tournament is already off to an interesting yet crazy start!

Refs called a 2nd delay of game with 20sec left after a made Heritage bucket to put WHH up by 2. Cheatham made both FT's to tie the game and also got the ball. They were unable to score, but fouled Heritage on the rebound with .01 seconds left.

Heritage post player at the line... 1 and 1 for the win! Clank.

Game went to overtime. Cheatham closed the deal with a corner 3 with about a minute left.

If this district ever wants to compete in the region, they need to open up the game, shoot the three, and be able to survive up tempo game styles and pressure.  This district continues to just play slow old school basketball, which allows them to beat each other in the district. Sadly that's where district 9AA's train ends. The District Tournament.

^^ This right here! Coaching isn’t good enough to overcome the overall talent discrepancy between 9AA and 10AA. Talent isn’t good enough to force a change.
District ‘ship is the 9AA Super Bowl 

WH PG was trying to dribble out the clock, tied 42-42 and he got rippppppped at half court. Westmoreland took the ball and scored on an and1. 
WH had the play on Instagram but pulled it 

Tough loss

Sycamore + White House should be the favorites. Both Sycamore and  Heritage have new coaches.

Sycamore at Creekwood.
Reg season champs last yr. Big man is a Sr this yr and should dominate. Will be interesting to see what they have in their backcourt.

WH at Lead Academy
WH is deep and Sr heavy - might very well be their yr.

Heritage at Clarksville Academy.
Scrimmaged York Institute this weekend and more than held their own. 

Republic at Cheatham Co

Montgomery Central at  Greenbrier

Harpeth at Father Ryan

Westmoreland at Red Boiling Springs

I’ll leave it to everyone else to fill in the gaps on GB, Cheatham, Harpeth, and Westmoreland.

  Oh ok.. NOT! His comments said everyone else is playing for second in 2AA.  That’s when it brought me into the thread. I suggest you ignore any of my post if you don’t like them because I don’t play that way. 

He was actually on topic... but you? Who knows, maybe you’re bored or lost. Feel free to stay and pitch in with more randomness. It’s all good.

WhereYouAt - Sounds about right to me. Big man at Sycamore is gonna be a monster this yr.

  Really? Wasn’t Memphis East suppose to be the clear favorite in 3AAA last year and most Memphis fans thought Whitehaven was the second best team? We all know how that turned out. First thing  2AA will be better across the board in my opinion. Teams 4-12 will be much better than last year. Second injuries are common in basketball and you have to avoid the injury bug. Third you have to be able to play as a team on offense and defense.

   Wooddale has all the pieces to go back to back but I’ve watched basketball far too long to say everyone else is playing for second. Especially before the season even starts... 

It's really not that hard. This thread is for District 9-AA

We're about a month or so out... 

Sycamore + White House should be the favorites right?

Heritage has won District 2 of the last 3 yrs? Do they have anything left?

New coaches at Heritage and Sycamore, right? 

Cheatham/ Harpeth/ Greenbrier/ Westmoreland... How's everyone looking this year?

Wait, their HC left?

They should have a strong team next yr, and he seemed like a good one.

Go for it, looks like a packed crowd. You first...

Didn’t mean to hijack the thread on enrollment and it may not be relevant at the end of the day. The two districts are a long ways away from each other athletically and skill level. The 2016-17 WH Heritage team could have competed in region this year… They lost to Whites Creek in the Semis (WC won Region). Maplewood and East were loaded too... think that Maplewood won state that yr. It’ll take the perfect storm For a 9AA team to get more than one game in Region play. 

End of the day, I have one more year left on this ride and after that... I could care less about the alignment. 9AA coaches are happy with District titles. They don't prep well for the step up to Region games and most play mehhh schedules.

Not sure where you got your enrollment numbers from but at least one appears to be off. According to TSSAA portal EN enrollment is 714 not 1131. Are the others off as well? I could see if it was slightly off but this is more than 400 students off. 

I'm not familiar with the TSSAA portal - I simply pulled them from  www.usnews.com

If the TSSAA #'s are anything like their refs...

Maybe you mean District 10 of Region 5. Teams from District 9 rarely win games in the regional tournament. 

Region needs to be re-classified. Big disparity in enrollment between 9/10AA. 

White House - 894
Greenbrier - 814
Sycamore - 738
WH Heritage - 666
Cheatham - 637
Harpeth - 580
Westmoreland - 514

MLK - 1,210
E Nashville - 1,131
Maplewood - 1,016
Hume Fogg - 903
Pearl- 794 
Stratford - 716
Whites Creek - 713

Sycamore should be the favorite returning the big boy, what does heritage lose? 

 

They lose 3-5 starters depending on the game, to include top 3 scores.

Wont know really what they look like until the end of the summer. Best guess is somewhere between 3-5 seed.

If Maplewood could not hit a jumper, make a FT, or a layup how did they manage to score? Those are about the only three ways one can score in basketball. Moreover, how did they outscore their opponent. Maybe Maplewood was only able to make set shots, just not jump shots

16-55 FG - 29%

1-12 3FG - 8%

10-21 FT - 48%

I mentioned how they won... They out rebounded Heritage 32-30, but 21 of those were Off Rbds and they played bully ball on defense. 

There were 35 total fouls and 52 total turnovers in the game. It was sloppy and the refs role should not be understated. They allowed the bully ball, and as the more physical team... it was in Maplewood's favor. They scored 28pts off of turnovers. Heritage had 6.

In case you're wondering - Here's Heritage shooting stats. 

12-29 FG - 41%

1-5 3FG - 20%

12-18 FT - 67%

It was a 3 pt game with a minute left. Maplewood made some late FT's to pull out the win.

Gonna guess Sycamore, WH... then everyone else.
