I said before the region started that Union City scares me more than Gleason did. Jada Williams and Amari Bonds are both D1 kids. I do think we will be fine though.

Union City is a much better team than Gleason. I know they split but UC beat Dresden 3x and Gleason lost 3x to Dresden.  Union City can get on a roll and be tough to stop if you let Bonds and Williams get rolling. BUT I believe Gibson Co. is going to be headed to the glass house. They are so fundamentally sound and well prepared and coached. Wilkins does an outstanding job. It’ll be interesting to see how Dresden handles Greenfields pressure in the full court. And of course you’ve got to find a way to limit the Jackets big 3. Fun time of year!!!

I was told in the middle of the week, but they didn’t think it was a disgrace. They didn’t want to play Greenfield and didn’t mind telling it.

That’s so sad and so not the Gleason I grew up watching.

I actually had to see it to believe it but I was told it was going to happen. GC don’t care who we play but there is no need for that in sports period. I thought TSSAA put a stop to that a few years ago, but obviously Gleason didn’t get the memo. Dresden is a good team and could very easily have beaten Union City Thursday. Think they will play in the semis against Greenfield.

Did you hear from Gleason parents as well? I had 2 parents of girls on the team tell me. They are not big on their coach and thought it was a disgrace to throw a game, especially to Dresden.

The first game was an embarrassment, I watched Dresden and Gleason play a few weeks ago and it was a great ballgame. But I see people just blaming Gleason’s coach, from where I was sitting neither coach wanted to win. Dresden best player had 3 fouls in the first quarter, second best player had 3 fouls early in the second qtr (coincidence) ........ and Dresden /Gleason fans weren’t even yelling at the ref ! When’s the last time ANYBODY has seen that. Both teams turning it over like it was their day job, and Gleason best 2 players barely played the 4th qtr. Every time either team would score, their fans BOTH SIDES hardly clapped. Dresden won the game and both sides looked like a funeral. It was AWFUL! But don’t blame the girls, they are just kids, I blame both coaches. Gleason’s catching the brunt of this because they lost but anybody who knows anything about basketball knows neither coach was trying to win. I’d fire both of them. 

Every time I have seen Dresden, Childress and Washburn have been in foul trouble and usually a few more. That’s nothing new. They try and play physical.  I was behind Dresden Bench and their coach was coaching to win. One girl came out of a time out almost in tears. West was up and energetic almost the whole game on the sideline. Stevenson day the whole game, with a T early, hmmmmm. It wasn’t pretty but I don’t believe for a second Dresden wanted to lose. I can also assure you that you never heard any of their fans talk about losing this game but I did hear it from Gleasons side. That’s a FACT!! Those girls were told not to play to their potential and lose. FACT

Very close game, much closer than the final score would indicate. A very physical game., but Greenfield finally had some of their obvious hand checking called on them. They looked a bit tired throughout the game. Had a hard time running with my UC girls. Very proud of my girls. They took the fight to them and proved they can play with and if a few more calls go their way can beat Greenfield. Great Championship game, the toughest single-A district in the state. 

 No doubt. Always love this district for girls basketball. The tournament is always well worth the money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Greenfield was cold in the first half and Union City shot lights out and Greenfield still won by 15 Chloe Moore took the game over in the paint and taking it to the rim. Kudos to Willie for getting Chloe in the paint. As for Gleason, they won’t make it as Hollywood actors. Very obvious what was going on. Whole crowd seen it and knew it. Very sad. GC has never and I mean never been scared of anyone no matter how good they are. 

You’re right Pioneer but that’s what it’ll take to beat Greenfield. Them cold and the other team hot. I was still impressed by UC. They’ve come a long way. Dangerous team. As for Gleason if Randy Frasier was there he would have to be disappointed in tonight. As well as Joel and Ashley. Like I said I’m afraid that program is fading.

Union City played very well tonight. I was really impressed. Game was poorly officiated, as was the first game. Greenfield gets away with a lot of smacking, hacking and hand checking but they’ve earned everything. I am taking nothing from them. You get the breaks when you’re as good as they are. Girl from Union City, Williams I think, needs to be getting some looks from colleges. congrats to Union City and Greenfield on their continued run.

As good as the 2nd game was, the 1st game was really a let down. I expected it to be a nail biter. Dresden came out a sloppy and Gleason looked like a jr. high team. Dresden got it together while Gleason never did. Talked to a few parents and they were ok with the loss, said they didn’t want Greenfield. It’s sad to see if this is true. A program that was once the pinnacle of women’s basketball reduced to letting kids think losing a game is ok. Fans, nor team was ever in the game. Sad 

congrats and good luck to everyone moving forward. Can’t wait to see Gibson and Humboldt on Monday night. Madison will be 4th and take on Greenfield. Trenton will be 3rd and play Union City. Humboldt will finish 2nd and take on Dresden. Gibson County will win against and play Gleason.

Oh my! The referees give Greenfield all the breaks. Really! 

You must have changed your mind because I thought you told me at the game when we played Huntingdon that we were the best team you had ever seen. 

I’ll have to agree with Croppygenius on that statement Greenfieldfan. I’ve seen several games this year. They get by with a whole bunch of reaching and smacking, but because they’ve earned being such a good team and having “STAR” players like Darby and Chloe it won’t be called. That’s just the breaks. Make no mistake about it they are the best A team and will win the gold ball. 

The jackets shot lights out. I believe they ended up with between 10 and 12 three pointers. Dresden played decent the 1st half but the 2nd half was a runaway. Chloe, Tess and lil Darby are really good ball players. Childress made some nice jump shots from about 15 but that was about all Dresden could do. Good to see the young ones on both squads get some time in 4th quarter.

Glad I came to this game, it was better than I thought it was going to be. I thought Gleason handled the press well, Greenfields half court defense is really good. As far as holding the ball for 4 minutes, that’s just as much on the Greenfield coach as it is Gleason’s. All they had to do was guard and Gleason would have played. Either way I don’t like it. I thought Darby had a great game, a couple of blocks and very aggressive under the goal. Lots of points.Thought Atkins had a good game for Gleason, she just doesn’t get enough shots off. Gleason might surprise some people in the tournament. Greenfield should win it all . Great atmosphere in the gym tonight. The boys game was good as well, I got my money’s worth.

True!!

Here we go slow down basketball. Greenfield 15     Gleason 13  after 1 qtr

Gleason just held the ball 4 minutes uncontested dribbling. 
Greenfield 32-21 halftime

76-43 final 

At one time 0-10 from 3. I think only shot like 15% all night from deep. The D made up for it though, the big 3 should be the only ones shooting. The others shooting kept Gleason in it early. Gleason is a good team but when things go bad they tend to turn to “trickery”, little tactics to get to you. Glad Darby took up for herself. I think it inspired them more. Almost time for tournaments it will be a hoot!!

Same story, different night, different team. Huntington is a pretty solid team. Greenfield will cake walk to the glass house. Special bunch, once in a hundred year team with that talent in single A.

Huntington was simply the next victim. When these girls decide to play their tough. The 3rd quarter they decided to end it. If they stay healthy, cake walk.

Greenfield. They will win single A

Another good win for Greenfield. Chloe had a bunch and she makes it look real easy. Great player. Tess sat a while in the first half. She got several as did Edie. Shot the three well tonight. Kinda had a whistle happy crew. Huntingdon is a good team just got to handle ball better.

Kinda same story different day.Nobody can handle the ball against them. Would like to see what might happen if somebody actually handled the ball against them.

Going to take a team with a really good point guard. Some height would help as well. Going to have to be cool under pressure and not get rattled. I believe you can get lay ups if you handle it, but you can’t shoot threes and jumpers off press or turn it over for lay ups in the backcourt. If you do shoot threees and jumpers you better shoot 80% to win, they score so frequently that you can’t go on a drought or you’ll be down double digits before you know it.

I was there. Didn’t see anything happen really. Greenfield is the real deal, Dresden turned it over to much. Didn’t think they tried to stall at all. They tried early to be patient but got down to much and tried to shoot their way back in it off one or no passes. Greenfield’s big three are good and the team chemistry is really good. Very unselfish bunch, the transfer was really not a factor either way. All girls played hard but Greenfield was to much tonight as they have been every night for everybody.

WV is a very good program. However, their girls program would gain nothing by beating any of the other county schools. It’s a lose/lose situation. If they beat Greenfield, Gleason, or Dresden they will be told they should that they are bigger school. If they lose that really don’t look good either getting beat by a single A school. I honestly don’t know if Westview would get out of Region in Single A around here. Greenfield, Gibson Co., Dresden, and Gleason would give them fits. However I’d pay too see each team play them. The gate would be great for everyone. Now the boys games would be bad for those same schools, probably another reason they don’t play.

Congrats to the Lake County Falcons!!!

Dresden refused to play the teams I mentioned. I know this for a fact. It's a shame the administration allowed a guy to schedule the teams he did and not play us or McKenzie.

Wrong!!! I know for a fact........

I imagine they are waiting to see how the teaching situation in the state pans out.  There is speculation that several teachers could be losing their jobs in the state including Weakley Co.  It all depends on how the Trump budget shakes out.  I'm just speculating but I'm sure thats part of it.  It's going to be hard to hire someone if they are having to cut a position or two at the same time. 

the middle school football coach would be a good one doubt hed come though. he knows the O and the players
