  1. Greenfield did not play well in the first game. Struggled with a very average Union City for a half. They better pick it up. They're beat if they play like that again!
  2. I wish they would do away with this award. Basketball is a team sport!
  3. Huntingdon upset West Carroll last night so the War Eagles have to travel to district 12 for a first round region game. Somebody in 12 gonna have a tough region opener. McKenzie played really well last night. They're a very strong team that's gonna be a tough out for any of the 12 squads. Rebels have size and quickness and are playing their best ball now. Huntingdon is about as good as a team can be that doesn't have a starter over 6 ft. They're a pesky bunch that play really hard. West Carroll should have beat us 15 points but they didn't.
  4. Fillies did not play well. West Carroll drove to the rim on us all night. On the other hand I was impressed with West Carrolls play. They've improved much over the season. Their shooting technique was excellent. All their girls shooting jumpers with the ball over their heads. Their coach is doing a great job teaching! He had a great game plan against the Fillies and his defensive pressure really limited our offense.
  5. Huntingdon had a quarterback a couple years ago that broke the all-time single season rushing record and still holds the record for most yards ever gained by a quarterback and didn't win Mr Football. Politics are not on the west side of the Tennessee River!
  6. Karly Weathers is a wonderful talent. I've only seen her play once, hard to judge a kid off one performance but I was very impressed. The Greenfield duo I've seen play 7 games this season. All three kids are super young players. Moore and old Darby are physically more mature than Weathers at this point. Karly needs to get stronger. Seems like she didn't crash to the rim as much as I would have liked to have seen. She shoots similiar to Moore, both shoot NBA threes. Both shoot the ball to low, need to get the ball over their heads. All 3 girls could use an extra step of speed. Young Darby may be the best pure basketball player of the bunch. She may be petite but she's a game changer. Greenfield has the most talented starting 5 I've seen this season.
  7. #22 is a fine young player but just a freshman. Greenfield has 2 better than her at this time! Maybe 3. Jackets are loaded!
  8. Man it's a pleasure to watch Gibson Co play. They play such great defense, kept Peabody off balance all night. GC is not particularly long or fast but they can completely take you out of your offense with their pressure. It's a coaching clinic every game. # 1 does such a good job controlling the game from the point. She and the point from TCA are both excellent players that dictate the pace of the game. This team could very well win it all!
  9. What's the word on the two young ladies that were injured last night? Bless their heart neither looked good!
  10. Bethel has a super venue, even has a chick-fil-a in the house. Great gym to watch basketball. Everything close to the court. I would guess that Loretto and Summertown have to be the favorites going in with Huntingdon starting to get in a groove also. If Fuller rounds into form by the region semis then the Fillies could be dangerous. If there's any kid around that you can plug in and play it's her.
  11. Man y'all need a bigger gym. Got there @5:30 and had to stand. Great atmosphere, games like this really fire my old butt up. Loretto and Summertown are both outstanding teams. Loretto is very athletic but need to be more physical. Summertown is a little short. Huntingdon will present a problem to both teams on the boards. Region 6 has 3 teams capable of winning games at the state tournament and region 7 has 6 teams capable. I've seen every team in region 6 & 7 play and I've got to go with Greenfield when all the chips fall to win it all..
  12. Got a special surprise tonight. When I got seated I noticed Kaycee Fuller was dressed to play. She played about 5 min in both halves and looked good. Little rusty but dived into stands after a loose ball in first minute. She ain't got but one speed and that's wide open. Fillies are gonna be a pretty good team by the regionals.
  13. Fillies are playing better. We're a long quick team. Play good defense and rebound well, very quick to the ball. Our PG is 5'11, very fast and our best rebounder. This team could beat anybody if they play their best game. We have trouble holding on to leads in the 4th qt because we don't rest our starters. Would favor Summertown and Loretto over the Fillies but I would surely be worried about this squad.
  14. I'm gettin old and can't keep up to good. I just post between naps!
  15. A month ago I would have picked GC to win this game. Now I'll call it Trinity because of home court advantage. Trinity is playing under control right now with the Howell kid running the show. I love her play at the point, she's in control of the game. Two very solid fundamentally teams going at it Friday night. If you miss it it's your own dang fault.
  16. Great game @ Trinity last night. Peabody is an athletic bunch that puts a lot of pressure on you. Trinity played under control and pulled out a close win. I like Trinitys coach, does a great job. I've seen bout every team in west Tennessee play this season and Sally Howell is my pick for most improved player I West Tennesse. She took over last night and was the difference.
  17. Thanks for the info that would have been a long drive for a BBQ sandwich.
  18. Making the trek to Summertown Friday night. What time do I need to arrive to get a seat and how do I get to Shaffers?
  19. If you're satisfied with just getting to the state then you're part of the problem!
  20. I'm certainly not bashing the girls. They deserve a lot better than they're getting. I'm bashing the coaches and admistration for not putting emphasis on basketball that they should. They treat it like it's just something to pass the time between football seasons. Our men's team has won only 4 district championships in the history of the school! Totally unacceptable. They've even lost all of our old trophies don't have a clue where they are. I know I'm ranting but I'm old and tired of this crap. I want to win. I'm not satisfied with 2nd place. Girls in Huntingdon play ball. Lots of towns have trouble getting girls to play sports, Huntingdon girls will come out and play and they deserve the best coaching money can buy.
  21. Our very talented softball team hasn't got out of the regionals the last 2 years. They have the same problem the basketball team has!
  22. Disagree with the talent acessment. GC has nowhere near the length and speed of the Fillies. Gibson Co is just much more fundamentally sound than the Fillies. Jones is probably amoung the best athletes in West Tennessee and hasn't been taught how to make a lay-up.
  23. Fillies played their best game of the season tonight. We're a talented team, long and fast. I'll go to my grave believing we've had the most 1a talent in the state the last two or three years. Losing Fuller hurt us bad. One of the fastest kids I've ever seen. If she can master the fundamentals of the game she can truly be special. Fillies are not a fundamentally sound basketball squad. We out talent you.
  24. I wouldn't worry about the Fillies. Haven't beat a good team all year!
  25. Great game last night at Greenfield. Very impressed with Dresdens play. Kept their poise under a lot of pressure from the Jackets. Greenfield just to talented. Great teams win the 4th quarter and Greenfield is that kind of team.
