South Greene was lacking two key players the entire season. They did not have two of their juniors who are out with injuries. They managed to overcome and make it to state let alone the championship game with several having to learn new positions. I thought they did quite well. Congrats to Berean Christian and to South Greene. Both are great team.

The season can not come soon enough.

Taylor Lamb is as deserving as anyone, I hope the change in class does not sway the powers that be and that she be considered. Regardless of class, any player who can be all district, all region, and all state during their freshman, sophomore, and junior years as well as be named MVP at the state championship two straight years deserves recogntion. And I'll agree that Braelyn Wykle deserves whatever she is rewarded. She is one of the most talented point guards I have ever seen. Both players are top notch.

I'm not in this conversation and realize it's dumb to interject myself into it, but it's spelled "elite." That just seemed too important in a discussion on grammar to not point that out.

South Greene has four gold balls and three silver in AA and two of those silver were due to losing against fellow Eastern teams in Unicoi and Meigs. They will compete with the Middle part of the state. We will all hate seeing Lamb graduate next year but will enjoy watching her on the next level. SG will also be gaining the younger sisters of TK Franklin and Morgan Williams who led their Nolachuckey team deep into the post season as well as an additional young lady. It may be awhile before we see another Lamb, but there are still plenty of players to step into the gym at Rebel Hill.

Lamb for South Greene was by far the Best Player on the Floor. Runs God, can Shoot,Dribble & Pass & Plays Defense. Where is She Going to College? I understand that She is a Junior but is she Leaning toward Anyone, Love Her Game & Passion

I havent heard her or anyone around here (Greene County) mention anything, but I heard last night that she had offers to MTSU, ETSU, TN Tech, and someone else but I can't remember.

I have been having issues with it for several days. I usually get the videos to play, but only after trying a few times. I wondered if it might be due to a lot of people accessing the site this week.

I'm glad Pioneer made this statement as an unbiased person, because I would have said the same thing. Also, SG often dominates in the 2nd half after struggling in the first. And they extended the lead to as much as 15 on several occasions in that 2nd half. And SG cleared their bench and Clarkrange scored several at the end. Lyndsey Cutshaw, the lone senior saw little playing time due to illness in her last two games and she is a big difference maker, especially on defense. I hated to see her miss out on all state her last year, though she was named to it in 2016.

That's exactly when Clarkrange pulled away, it was back and forth until then, the big post from Hampton was doing a good job defending meadows, at the start of the 3rd when Hamptons big was on the bench, it was too away do Meadows and she got going after that.

Yeah, that's a big question mark for me. I was hoping pujo or anyone from Hampton could give some info on that one. We (SG) have played them four times and I'd much rather go up against #25 than #40. Heck they'd put em both on Lamb at times, I just don't understand why they didn't use both or at the very least leave Garland #40 in. They have a great team.

It looks like Summertown will be a tough team over the next few years.

I know I will get slammed for saying this ,but that was the most un-athletic boring basketball, I have ever watched, period.

I wasn't able to watch it but was following stats and saw it was 11-12 at halftime. That's just crazy.

Congrats to Hampton on making the final four. I knew you'd make Clarkrange play for it. Question: why did Garland come out of the game? I was only able to follow stats on tssaa, but I don't remember her having trouble. That seemed to be when the momentum hit Clarkrange.

The tournament began with only four districts being represented and now only district 1 has two teams heading to the final 4. That's something to be proud of.

The Lady Rebels are a family and they show that. They are very unselfish in their gameplay and it truly showed tonight. They had 16 assists compared to Pickett's 5. There were several times that Lamb could have taken an easy shot, but instead dished to someone under the goal for an even easier shot. This is why I love to watch them play. Pickett definitely held Braelyn back and you have to Pat them on the back for that but they left the inside wide open with Taylor and Morgan going for 19 each. That has been the theme for SG all along... You can't focus on any one or two players because they have a bench who can step in at anytime. It also helped with foul calls, which I thought were a bit ridiculous. But we were able to spread them out more with the depth that we had. I just love this team. They have been a joy to follow these past two years. And they are really great girls outside of basketball

The semi finals could be interesting. Clarkrange vs Hampton. Hampton has two excellent shooting guards in Tuelle and Grubbs and then Garland underneath is as big as Clarkrange's Meadows. This game might be closer than some think. And the lady Rebels will have to face Summertown. I am unfamiliar with them, so I don't know what to expect.

Congrats Lady Rebels. You could tell that Pickett prepared for Lamb and B. Wykle, but I loved how the others stepped up. Especially Morgan Williams. Great team play! Lamb still finished with 19 points and made some great assists!

WooooHooooo!

Way to go Hampton Lady DOGS!!!

How about those Lady Bulldogs?!?

I'd say Meigs did it in the 90s won it 2 out of 3 years. But didn't lose a region game in over 7 possibly 11 years. Tommy Jewel coached them and 3 of the players played in A NCAA championship game. Pam Irwin and Rachel Powell played for Georgia and Misty Greene for UT. South Greene was their big Rival then in AA ball. Had those twin sisters. I think they may of played at Clemson.

Jennifer and Jeanette Davis were the twins. I know one of them played for Clemson but not sure if they both did. Now both are educators and coaches in elementary schools in the South Greene community.

It's what he does best. He will keep on doing it until after the game on Thursday and then he will be silent on the subject again until this time next year lol.

Bullies will be bullies.

You must be a democrat.... You voted for Killery didn't you??? Read ALL the posts about this subject you've started rambling about and you'll see where one of the people who are backing SG said South Greene by 20+ over Pickett County. I merely replied to this post as one can see... I know your reading skills are sketchy at best and the facts are confusing for some of you hillbillies but do try and keep up...

I have nothing else to say to you. You have made it very clear the type of person you are. You must really enjoy the taste of crow as often as you eat it.

And there's really no need for insulting an entire region.

Well as usual you boys from East Tn aren't the best interpreter's of the english language. So please show me one post where i said SG wasn't a favorite to win it?

You just said you'd take PC for +20.

Saw all of last years state championship games. I have seen CR numerous times. I would be SHOCKED if the South Greene team I saw had gotten any less hungry. They looked like the want as many as they can get....!

Oh okay. I thought maybe you'd seen one of the regional games from this year. I promise you that the SG team of the last couple of weeks would demolish the South Greene team of last year's state run. Same girls. Different level.

I don't live close enough to South Greene to even root for them, but your in denial so I'll let you be. Anyone....and I mean anyone that gets past South Greene this year will have pulled the biggest upset in the tournament. If it is PC great....CR, wonderful.....watch the tape bro.

 

Kaz

Which game did you see a tape of? I'm just curious. I'm loving your comments. Spot on.

Shhhhhhhhhhh '82!

We're a cupcake...Just preparing to get walked on

Hahaha!!! The cat will be out of he bag Thursday!
