  1. I'm not sure they had a lot of options. Obion is in a brutal district/region for girls basketball (district has Dyersburg, South Gibson, and Crockett Co; region has South Side). They were below average last year and will graduate their best player. Tough spot
  2. Heard some rumors that Hart might be giving up the girls and focusing on the boys. Not sure if there's any truth to those rumors...
  3. Probably some disappointment for all the west TN 3A teams in Murfreesboro. Dyersburg was the most talented team there - probably the only team that could have beaten White Co. If Dyersburg and Northview play 10 times, Dyersburg probably wins 8. But hard to win if only 3 players score. They’ll miss Crawford next year but will still be really good. South Side felt like they had a shot this year with Askins as a senior. They drew a team that got hot at the right time. Scoring will be a lot harder for them next year without Askins. South Gibson struggled offensively most of the season. If they couldn’t turn teams over, scoring was hard. This has been the case for them the last two years and will probably continue to be the case until they get more skilled players into the program. The way the games were officiated also had a big impact on all three West TN teams. All three are very physical teams and were allowed to be so all year. If you watched the semifinal games, foul trouble was one of the main factors in not getting round five of Dyersburg and South Gibson.
  4. You could get me onboard with this. Would like to see some added points for playing teams in larger classes, but this seems fair
  5. I have not seen that formula, but I’m intrigued by the idea. I assume strength of schedule was accounted for?
  6. It's a good idea in theory, but which rankings do you want to use? The sportswriters' rankings are terrible. The BCAT rankings aren't much better.
  7. That’s an incredible stat and a problem. 3A games all week had no flow and were hard to watch. A lot of that was due to the way the games were officiated. Lots of hand checks and illegal screen calls, but assaults in the paint were let go. Wasn’t impressed with officials all week. Not saying anybody lost a game due to officiating as both teams had to deal with it, but it made for a less enjoyable watch. Really impressed with Heritage finding a way to win without their PG.
  8. Hearing Obion Co is going to be open
  9. Interesting decision by McMinn Central to leave Baker and Bystry in the game with 4 fouls. I believe it was tied when Baker fouled out with 6:00 left in the 3rd. And it Was a 4 point game when Bystry fouled out with about 2:00 to play in the 3rd quarter.
  10. What South Gibson has done the last three years is impressive. Especially when you consider the program had no history of success before Embrey took over. Not sure they can win this week but that program looks like it’s gonna be around for a while.
  11. 1. They should absolutely go back to a live draw. They could do it as live stream if they wanted. No reason to be secretive. 2. I think the bracket shows that the draw is definitely random. There is no benefit for TSSAA to put arguably the three best teams in the same side of the bracket
  12. Brackets are out. Barring upsets tonight, it’s Dyersburg v White Co in the first round
  13. The Livingston win surprised me. Good for them. Butler deserves to a trip to state to finish a stellar career at LA. The Livingston/White Co game becomes a big one tomorrow night as neither wants to go to Heritage for substate
  14. Blowouts (20+) - Westview over Adamsville, South Side over McNairy, Wayne Co over McKenzie, Comfortable Wins - McEwen over Houston Co, Gibson Co over Scotts Hill, Dyersburg over Crockett, South Gibson over Dyer Co Close Games - Dresden over Middleton, Greenfield over Union City, Huntingdon over Cheatham, Stewart Co over East Hickman, Creek Wood over Lexington
