Officials call what they call and the kids must adjust there play accordingly. That is the way it is in every sport. If you don't adjust you getting holding or pass interference in football, you foul out in basketball, or you strike out in baseball. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO TEACH YOU ABOUT LIFE SKILLS AS WELL, YOU MUST OVER COME ALL OBSTICLES... ADJUST AND WIN OR BE STUBBORN AND LOSE...

We may get to see Westview play Cumberland tomorrow at Hilton Head S.C. This would be a great test for both teams early in the season. They both must win today.... I think this neutral site game could give the rest of the state some insight on where theses teams will be in Feb/March... I like Westview by 6-10 if they get an opportunity to play.

No sorry we Just bring back Gold Balls to West Tn... those are more important than individual trophies, after all football is a team sport... Congratulations to Trenton Peabody Golden tide, and Good Luck to The Haywood Tomcats

Just odd no West Tn winners.... Just wondering if most of the votes only come from east and middle TN?

they played riverside when I was there. Noted riverside didn't have much. I was just impressed with the ball movement and outside scoring ability.

Crockett is solid and will compete for 13AA title with South Gibson. Dyersburg could have some say about things but will likely fall to 3rd and Milan, Obion, and Westview will fight it out for the 4th spot. only S. Gibson and Crockett can compete with 14 AA and they will have their hands full..

It will be fun to watch Southside vs Westview. Still think Westview has better scoring than anyone in the region. They will be had to beat if they stay away from injuries...

Watched Westview in a play day at UTM. They can shoot the ball outside with anyone, pressure the ball really well , the only weakness is inside and that's not terrible . The big girl can play but she is not Graves. They will be a contender to go to state if everyone stays healthy. I think it will come down to them and Crockett in the district.

This is what is wrong with the whole country. People rules are in place everywhere. OBEY THE RULES!!! So what that you don't like them. At you work place (if you work) then there are rules you must abide by, Kids are no different teach them to abide by the rules. Teach them to respect the officials and just play them game. Coaches size your players as best you can and try to get smaller shorts whenever possible. If you don't like the rules stop WHINING and go through the proper channels and procedures to change them. Until then OBEY Them or face the consequences.

District 13: South Gibson, Dyersburg, Crocket Co, Westview, Obion Co, And Milan District 14: Southside, Lexington, Chester Co, McNairy Co, Northside, Adamsville, Scotts Hill,Riverside

I don't believe Huntingdon can get past Summertown or Loretto. Union city has made some people sit up and take notice. But once again Loretto is the one to beat in single A. Union city has a solid 9 players that field very well. They have 5-6 pitchers that will not over power you but usually have very good location. I hope all theses kids stays healthy down the stretch. I think a match up between Union City and Loretto would be a fun game to watch.

Northside, Riverside, Southside, McNairy.... Upset alert maybe Lexington over Southside.... but probably not..lol

Well it looks like Obion will not go as far as earlier predicted. They have lost one of their leading scores and play makers for Team Rules. So this may slip them to the fourth spot behind Dyersburg, Crockett Co, and S. Gibson. I hate to see this because that team is very dangerous and fun to watch.

Penny may want to take the assistant job at Memphis and bring those guys with him...lol They are far beyond and High school in the Nation right now.... I don't see anyone staying within 10-15 of them

at the end of the season Bkbfan4ever we will hold you to that statement... Maybe you wont have to eat too much Crow.... But then again you did pick 2 out of 6 teams to win the district.... so your chances are pretty good..

I have McNairy, Southside, Riverside at home, Northside. 13AA starts in Jan. Obion has rematch tomorrow with Trenton at OC.

I think a match up between SS and Obion would be fun to watch. I truly believe that Dyersburg , Crockett , or Obion could beat SS at their home place, but the only time they will face each other would be in McNairy. So until proven other wise SS may be the favorite right now. SS is kinda young and they may provide a little inconsistence for them, but they are athletic and are gonna get after you. Obion can shoot the 3 and as seen early in the season. They will trade you a lay up to get a 3 all day long... But living and dying from 3 point land is a double edge sword. Still think its early, but things will start to shake out in the next 3-4 weeks...

Wow Lexington is very inconsistent right now!!! I cant believe McNairy upset them. Oldsportsguy oyu were close on the Nothside game.

SS, Lexington, Chester Co, but I am taking Northside at home.

The only way a Region 7 AA teams has any chance to the Boro is to win the Regional tourney and Host. Still that will be a very hard up hill battle. As you know anything can happen at home.....

There is no one group getting all the gigs. I started Umpiring High School Baseball last year , and trust me there are more than enough games to go around. I feel the reason you see the same ones is because they are the only ones signing up. It is the responsibility of the official to get the training needed to be good. TSSAA has clinics but you have to be responsible enough to attend. So with the shortage they still have to allow these not attending to officiate. And I have tried to get people to sign up to officiate, but they say the same thing " THERE IS NOT ENOUGH MONEY TO GET ME ON THAT COURT AND TAKE THAT ABUSE."

Solution start the younger, less experience refs in JR high and JV, but you have to help them understand the importance in getting the call right. EVERYONE makes mistakes just learn from them. I witnessed a game last night that the officials were to old to get up and down the court and were out of position to make several calls. The final score was 105-109. Areas need to scout these teams and put officials in games they can call. I am blaming area coordinators on these issues. But once again we need more people to sign up and help. I personally referee Peewee basketball on Sat. And in 2 years I plan on joining the TSSAA officials but until my son finishes High School I will be in the stands. WE NEED MORE 20-30 YEAR OLDS HELPING OFFICIATE. and that's the real solution.

There are so many people out there that sit around and grip about officials. It is a hard job. They have to make a judgment call in about 1/2 a second. I haven't seen any malicious intent ever in a game with an official. Now I do believe they are human and can hold grudges against certain coaches, but I really think the have the best interest for the kids. At least I want to believe this. The local officiating body in your area needs to put a veteran official with rookies to teach them the ins and outs. The training officials need are supposed to be gotten during summer practices and scrimmages. If there is a problem bigchief is right to much gripping and not enough helping. So if you want to help grab a whistle or find a young man and encourage him to help theses officials out. STOP HAMMERING THE ONES WE HAVE!!!

I gave Obion a slight edge for the Tournament only... And that's because of the home court, which we all know in High School means a lot. I think any of the top 4 could win the regular season. I think that height will cause Obion trouble. But I also believe 5 guards on the court can cause other teams problems as well. It will be very interesting to see who can impose their will on the other one in these district games. Long season ahead just gonna be a fun time to watch. But if we knew exactly how this will turn out we would not be on here we would be in Vegas making millions...

But 1 guy will not beat theses good teams he must have help. Are any of these teams very tall like anything over 6'5? Lexington has kids about 6'4 and under. If they are all equal in height then the advantage will be athletic ability and until proven different that goes to Southside
