A super team overnight? Evidently, you do not follow girls basketball. I’m an outsider from Chattanooga but have followed girls basketball for years. Bradley is the winningest team in TN basketball history, and more state tournament appearances than any other team in TN state history. The recent dominance began when Rhyne Howard’s Mother decided that she wanted her daughter to get out of Hamilton County. I cannot say I blame her. Outside of football, Chattanooga sports are declining. Rhyne set a standard at Bradley Central by pushing her teammates to get better every day. Ironically, the year after she graduated, they won their first title in many years. Howard and Stovall are the only kids that I can recall moving into their zone. All of the others were from Bradley / Cleveland middle schools. Stovall was born there and her Mom once coached at Bradley Central. Why wouldn’t the best players in the area want to be a part of their success? Reuter does not have to recruit, the program speaks for itself.

It would appear that MOST Cleveland fans do not even know TSSAA rules. Ware’s Mom wanted her to transfer to Cleveland. They have lived in the city limits since Ware started high school. Therefore they could not move into the city zone to be eligible. A Cleveland teacher and family member of theirs promised Ware’s Mom a job but the principal had a more qualified candidate for the position. There was never a TSSAA decision to be made. It’s a crying shame that she was the state tournament MVP and wanted to transfer the next year. I wonder how her current teammates feel about her wanting to transfer?

How many girls basketball 3 peats can you remember in the history of TSSAA? Is it too early to talk about the possibility of Bradley repeating again?

Bradley has had a running clock against every opponent since the post season began. That’s incredible! Can their defense shut Clarksville down and keep the running clock streak alive? Only time will tell.

Bradley Central wins their District Championship by 70 (83-13) points. Is this team that good or is everyone their playing just that bad? Who has a legit shot of playing with this Bradley Central team?

Which teams will to make it to the Glass House this year to compete for a Gold Ball? There has not been a lot of chatter on here about 4A this season. I’m predicting Sevier County, Bearden, Bradley Central, Cookeville, Coffee County, Beech, Clarksville, Bartlett. What are your thoughts?

I applaud you for supporting your team but you do not always have your facts straight. Bradley and Cleveland do not play for a chance to go to the Boro. They will meet in the Region Tournament. The winner will host a Boro team and the loser will travel to a Boro team for sub-state and a chance to play at the glass house. As for being “weakest” at the post position, I believe Fields proved last year that she is one of the best, if not the best, post player in the largest class of TN girls basketball.

Is this moved confirmed?

With school starting back soon, who are your favorites for class 4A? It’s never too early to get the conversation rolling! 1. Bearden 2. Bradley 3. Blackman 4. Bartlett 5. Coffee 6. Cookeville

What happened to Blackman tonight? Lost to a 4-5 Franklin team?

No Week 5 Rankings from Tim Lownsdale today? He must have a HOOPFEST hangover!

Below is the story from the Cleveland Daily Banner. I was not at the game but I heard that the Bradley Coach was making his team get 30 passes before they could attempt a shot. He did not play any of his starters the second half and for the most part played them less than one quarter each. I hear that Howard has asked TSSAA to be moved from AAAA to AAA and their coach PURPOSELY made the score seem worse by not playing his best kids to support Howard’s case. This is not a good situation for either program! https://www.clevelandbanner.com/stories/bradley-blows-past-howard-twice,148562

It’s going to be a battle between Blackman, Coffee, Bradley, and Cleveland to see who comes out on top of the sub-state matchups. These four teams are currently in Lownsdale’s top six pics of all classifications.

Sounds like ScottyP is salty about your comments MiddleTnBballObserver! Coffee has a really good team this year. Time will tell if they can keep it together until tournament time. I believe they scrimmaged at Bradley in the preseason and Bradley won by around 10. I believe this region will come down to Cleveland, Bradley, Coffee, and Warren. Each team has tough matchups for the others.

What happened to Warren County this past weekend? Even though Bradley and York are two of the better teams in TN, loosing by 19 and 28 does not look very good. Also, it appears that Coffee scheduled easy teams for the HOF day. They aren’t getting any better scheduling bad competition. The Bradley/Cleveland game should be a good one. According to the TN Report, it will be a 3 vs 6 matchup. Cleveland is a senior led team with a super sophomore. Bradley is a rather young team, starting two sophomores and a freshmen. Guess we will see on December 2nd.
