  1. I’ve seen multiple posts about this job. Are we sure it’s open? They had a pretty good year, especially considering their best player was hurt until late in the season. Coach took them to a sectional game.
  2. I figure it looks a lot like this year. Upperman and White Co will be state title contenders. Livingston and Cumberland will be dangerous, but not as good as Upperman and White. Not sure what Stone loses but they will be competitive. DeKalb will be below average.
  3. Green Hill boys job is open. I don't believe the girls job will be coming open there.
  4. South Side loses Currie. They will still be very good, but she is a big loss on both ends of the floor.
  5. That's a really interesting bet. Not sure which side I'd land on. Dyersburg brings back all but one of their rotation players - the senior was probably their 4th or 5th leading scorer. They may be better next year than they were this year. Upperman brings back their two best players but graduates the other three starters (if there's any truth to the Ellie Butler to Upperman rumors, that's a gamechanger). Heritage had one senior on the roster - they will be very good again. South Side will be in Murfreesboro again and is always dangerous because of the way they defend. White Co graduates their best player but brings back several others who can play. Dyersburg is the favorite but repeats are hard. Any state title requires some luck along the way. Back to back state titles require even more. @UCSportsFan is right - the field is probably the safer bet.
  6. 3 classes had 112 teams per class. In that system, 14% (16/112) of teams made the sectionals in each class. In the 4 class system, each class has 85 teams. Currently, 19% (16/85) of teams in each class make the sectional.
  7. Dyersburg could very possibly have the next three Miss Basketball winners with Crawford, Jordan, and Strayhorn.
  8. Wilkins did a fantastic job with this team. Emphasized their strengths and hid their weaknesses. Big question: Is Wilkins on the sidelines at GC next year or does he go out on top? I heard some rumors that this might be it for him. You think there's any truth to those rumors or people just making assumptions because he's not a young guy?
  9. I agree. Both teams can book rooms in Murfreesboro next March. No one in their region or sectional will challenge them. Peabody will play hard but they graduate too much to beat Westview or Gibson County. If you can get to the Glass House, you've got a chance.
  10. Westview will be good next year, but I think people are underestimating how important Alexander has been to this team for the last couple years. She was Westview's best player this year. Losing her will have a major impact
  11. Making the basketball state tournament (final 8) in a four class system is the same as making the football playoffs (final 32) in a 6 class system? Strongly disagree with that statement. In football, well over 50% of teams in each class make the state playoffs. In basketball, less than 10% of teams in each class. make it to what is considered the state tournament.
  12. Key is getting there over and over. Westview and GC have done a great job of that. If you get there often enough, good things eventually happen
  13. Dyersburg played South Gibson three times this year. The first two times, Crawford did not play. The teams split those two games - Dyersburg winning by two, SG winning by 15ish. Crawford was back for their region championship game. It was a close game that Dyersburg won by 5. Dyersburg is MUCH more talented than SG; this was true even when Crawford was hurt. SG played them close on toughness and coaching. Dyersburg should win today. They are more talented than Cocke Co. That said, a Cocke Co win would not shock me. Dyersburg can be undisciplined and selfish at times - those things can get you beat. The SG ride should end today. Upperman is talented and very well coached.
  14. This is absolutely on point. No way for TSSAA to seed the tournaments without introducing some type of bias. The blind draw is the fairest way to do it.
  15. Those are fair points. I'm not against the idea of seeding the teams. If TSSAA were to do so, what criteria should they use?
