Exactly!!!! Great post

I saw south side, Dyersburg, JCS, Lexington, USJ, and south gibson JCS was impressive. Best team out of this group south side played a ton of kids and weeding through all those kids was tough but second beat out of this group Dyersburg looked a lot different but have a kid that can shoot and a true post. Third best out of this group South gibson was very small, they were really long last year. They play hard, guard you but can’t score 4th best out of this group Lexington looked like a typical summer team after graduating a lot. They will figure it out 5th out of this group USJ will get better and better.

Multi sport athletes are awesome. However, every sport is year around now. Travel baseball, AAU basketball, 7v7 football and camps every weekend. I’m not against it but when does the kid get to be a kid Also, kids are growing and their body never gets to just recover. add in weekend “elite” camps that parents are setting up and it is extremely tough on the kids to enjoy high school sports and just be a kid.

I think it is just as bad in Jackson just a smaller scale because it is a smaller city. open enrollment for middle schoolers to play anywhere they want and mix in the private schools (USJ TCA JCS sacred heart) and you would think the middle school games are an AAU event during the recruiting window in Jackson.

That is a very Disciplined ball team. Talking about Obion!… wow

How did Crockett and union city look?

Absolutely

Milan and Bolivar from west Tn not including Memphis. Who knows about Memphis… changes so much from year to year

Wow. I’m an old sports guy and your comments just don’t make sense to me. Been following sports here for a long time and South Side Basketball has been and still is one of the top programs in the state. They have tons of kids playing at the next level and every year their kids graduate and go play college ball. I’ve watched a lot of their games. Kids are respectful, well coached, play hard and have been very skilled. Their talent has been going down for several years and they still okay for a championship. There are several kids that graduated from their district playing college basketball this year. A couple from North Side, South Side and at least 1 from South Gibson. So… what are you talking about? Wow, I’m just an old sports guy and your comments just don’t make any sense.

I don’t know about all that… south side being down is not like other schools being down. They are still the team to beat until somebody bears them. They have won 5 or 6 district championships in a row

Separate sport. Some kids will play both but some don’t. I agree with westtnhoopsfan. Let them practice starting middle of October.

No way this will happen. Keeping it the same means the cut off numbers for the classes will change in order to keep the same number of teams in each class. Around 80-85 in each class

Not for the boys

Been around a long time and this is the best reclassification idea I’ve seen! Someone needs a raise! It is fair even though 1A and 4A don’t send the same number of teams the ratio is pretty close. I love it

Saw him last season. Thought he was a senior last year.

Y’all gotta a chance for a gold ball!

Haywood will definitely win that region

Wow

Summer camps really don’t matter!… but… 1. Haywood County may win 3A state championship. Coach’s son is legit. Gets really high in mid range and he has tons of help and tons of size around him 2. South Side is a complete rebuild. They will struggle in post season for the first time in a long time. Really young and I didn’t see one familiar face from last year 3. TCA will compete this year. They have a freshman that is gonna be hard to handle. Coach’s son is a player 4. Crockett County may win their region. They are strong and play really hard. Guard okay May hold them back but we will see 5. South Gibson may win District and region. They are long and can shoot really good. Got a really tall kid at the point that looked good. They will be better than last year

Why is this job open at this point?

Which one?

Yes you assume correctly!

From the old sports guy, we all gotta be willing Tom hangs and I am but just don’t see the benefits outweighing the coast on this one.

Been MIA for a while. Great post.
