I just caught up on all the recent posts so I have a hand-full of points to make: 1. ref83 is just a jerk and possibly the most ignorant person I've ever come across. 2. POY should be Blevins. I agree with Hyperquick saying that if you take Blevins off that team, they would be very bad. Take Shepperson off SC and they are still very competitive in the district. Guffy is a great player on a great team, but you don't game plan for him like you do for Blevins. If anyone thinks that you don't gameplan for Blevins then you are sadly mistaken. Also, Blevins did have interest from good schools. I heard a rumor that he had a kid and wanted to stay close and that is why he chose tech. Just a rumor. Does anybody know if that is true? 3. COY should be Worsley at Magnet. Look at the difference from last year to this year. This is only his second year there too. Hats off to the work he's done. 4. DOY. That's a tough one. I don't have a strong opinion on it, but Huff's body type does allow him to gaurd people inside and out. Haven't watched enough SC games to really know though. 5. Man, some of you guys need a grammar lesson. Some of my spelling sucks but for the love of God learn when to use Their, They're, and There.

I'm gonna go with: York over Cannon- York is just better, especialy at home. Smith over Livingston- Tough to pick. Only going with Smith because they are playing in Carthage. Upperman over Magnet- CM has never finished a game within 20 of Upperman. Macon over Dekalb- Dekalb is bad and Macon has some momentum coming into this one.

LA blew out Magnet. CM is starting to look like the only reason they were good the first time through the district is because teams overlooked them. They still have to travel to York and Macon which will be tough to win, but they did beat them the first time. LA looks much improved and significantly more mature than they did a month ago. Smith barely escaped Cannon with a 55-52 W. Smith is so hard to figure out. One night they look like a team that belongs in Murfreesboro and the next they look like they can't get out of the region. As for Cannon, their losing streak now reaches nine games. They have lost a lot of close ones. They obviouusly have trouble closing out games, but they will improve on that as they gain more expirience.

I'll agree on Smith and Upperman. I'm going to say the Macon is a negative though.

If you are wanting to lisen to any more games, you can listen to any Central games, they are online at http://mixlr.com/cmsbasketball/ No account needed, the logo will light up red when we are live

I think the top 6 all have a chance. York can win on Blevins alone, plus they have that kid that can shoot the three. Might be Baldwin (not positive on that name). Upperman will win or lose off of the three ball. Smith is loaded with playmakers. Macon has lacked consistency, but some nights they look great. If they get hot, they can win. Livingston is a solid team that can beat anybody on a good night (once again, if they get hot they can win). Central is the least likely, but they could win if they can avoid Upperman and if teams keep sleeping on them. I'm interested to see this team go through the District again though. They will either play better because their youth will have more expirience, or they will get beat bad because teams won't overlook them again.

I agree with wateryturnip. You are making picks based off your heart rather than your head. LA over CC- No explanation needed. York over Macon- Macon's post play is just average and Blevin's will expose them. Upperman over Smith- Should be a great game. CM over DeKalb- Dekalb has not been close in district yet this year.

York and Upperman are up there where they should be. I like seeing Smith tied for first, they have progressed quicker than many thought. Livingston isn't the same Livingston of old. Macon seems a tad bit overrated, bad loss last night to Magnet. Magnet has progressed quicker than many people thought also. Cannon should have beaten Upperman last night, could have been a fluke on both sides though. Dekalb is terrible.

I've seen both teams play this season and Livingston is a good team, but Upperman is a very good team. Upperman can go to state. Livingston can put together a good run in the region. Upperman has the perimeter shooting much like Livingston, but Levy puts them on that next level. She's a natural playmaker and when she isn't having a good night, she still draws enough attention from the defense to free up her teammates. I'm not a fan of either team, I'm saying what I saw.

Amen to that

Does anybody have an Upperman roster? Or does anybody have a link to one? It would be a great help. Thanks.

Did he play football for Upperman this fall and will he play baseball in the spring? Just curious.

From a distance it seems as if the only true threat for Dekalb is Ashli Chew. Who else do they have that can change a game?

Did the radio for that game last night. I said it in my pre-seasonn prediction, they are much improved from last year. I'm not saying they are going to contend for a title, but if teams overlook them they can shock some people. Both of their freshmen played extended minutes and handled Cannon's press with ease. Martin, the big man for Cannon, was very good defensively and had a lot of rebounds, but Central's guys down low never let him get good looks at the basket on offense. In overtime, CM's junior PG, Partick Blair, really put the game away with the points to tie, go ahead, and free throws to finish it.

Before district play starts, who has seperated themselves out as the best player on each team so far? Obviously Blevins at York, but who else?
