What a game Mc Central got great team almost pulled it out but for freak play - y’all will go far 

Summertown has freshman pitcher and catcher that you won’t believe ( if she pitches this game ) rest of team pretty solid top to bottom but no superstars should be a goodun 

Summertown - Loretto - Giles Co  throw a blanket over them so close in talent hard to predict who comes out of that district -anyone of them could  be contenders if make it to State - don’t see any dominant teams in AA this year 

Summertown hits walk off 2 run HR to beat very good Giles Co team - what a game wow 

Summertown vs Forest today Will give idea in AA what each needs to work on

I think McMinn, Gibson Co and Gatlinburg are probably top 3 going into the season. 

Gibson will miss Cantrell but has some young kids ready for bigger roles.

McMinn brings everybody back.

Gatlinburg brings almost everybody back. 

Westview will be good, especially by February.

Loretto and Summertown will be good not great. Probably same for Huntingdon.

Alcoa graduates a lot.

York graduates some important pieces but Beatty still there keeps them in the conversation

 

Summertown will beat the teams they’re supposed to beat by 30 + with their press and probably upset some teams / getting away from Westview & GC will help but probably not the depth as psat years to challenge for gold ball 

Softball always has to go thru Summertown no matter what class - came up short last year for 1st time in years only came in 4th which is a down year for them

West Tennessee has caught up to the state in girls basketball. Lots of Gold Balls have been won here and the Gold Ball’s keep coming. Do think the off-season programs and AAU programs are making a difference. Lot of these kids live in the gym and that is what it takes. These kids are taking basketball serious. Upper Cumberland is loaded too and has been a while. They are confident in their teams and should be, but West Tennessee is more on a leveler playing field with them for sure. 

Middle Tn not bad either / Summertown played Westview closer than MCMinn Loretto same w GC both had leads but couldn’t hold them 

McKenzie shot better from 3 than they did from FT line or 2 points what a shooting display - could have beaten any classification team a State like that

Oh trust me, I saw the same thing you did, no place for that, it could be that the girl was frustrated watching the big girl shoot free throws every single time she got the ball.

Summertown had same thing happen to them in semis of region when they had substantial  lead - broken wrist and ACL tear = season over

One twin will start at catcher tomorrow.  The other will be in right field.  She is also the second pitcher.  She's accurate but needs a little more speed.  

Cool doesn’t get any better than that  / they’ll be seniors before you blink / I’ve still got one grand playing sports at Summertown / my oldest won 1 State my middle won 2 / still miss those days

I've got freshman twins who are starters at Cloudland.  We actually start 4 freshmen.  The best class of softball players our school has ever had.  

Good luck may take a while to gel / get a good pitcher and catcher and the rest will fall into place

We don’t have enough kids in 1A to concentrate on one sport. You’ll have to come up with another excuse. I can only speak for our small school but I’m sure it’s the same for most 1A

Summertown doesn’t either we’re at the bottom of class AA in population so I know where your coming from

The Fillies will be very tough in softball this season.

Probably they take that sport more serious but few other west teams do but even HDon have not  made it very far recently but hope you do / we (Summertown) played Gibson Co in Volleyball at state but they had just started and not very competitive

There's no doubt, they'll be back there soon. With GC and Westview being moved back towards the West to face the Memphis (area) teams in the next alignment, that's going to open the door back up for an easier path. When you throw GC, WV, Huntingdon, Summertown and Loretto into a pile, whoever comes out is pretty stout. With Huntingdon in their transformation to a potential power status as well, that's a formidable group of teams playing for 2 spots. 

West Tn teams concentrate so much on one sport ( basketball ) they are head and shoulders better than rest of state but are lacking in other sports - don’t remember when they took gold in softball - volleyball - golf etc but kudos to them in basketball 

If you go back to my post very early in the year when they beat Summertown & Loretto I said w their coaching and talent they would win it all and I still believe that but time will tell - hope both teams play up to their ability 

IT’s Jada fault for driving so hard to the goal - kick her put of the tournament lol

True, but they beat East Nashville by 18 when York only beat EN at home by 11. They are a better team, especially defensively, than they’ve shown so far in substate and the quarterfinals. I think a blowout/comfortable Westview win is the most likely outcome, but I could see the Viqueens keeping it close if they have a hot shooting night. It would be foolish to overlook any team that’s made it to the state semis, especially with WV coming off an emotional rematch win over York. Hopefully should be a great game! #10 for Westview is legit. I expect huge crowds for both sides.

Haven’t seen Community play but if have some mobile bigs and put pressure on their 3s and have some depth to press full court and handle ball and limit TO and and and and !!!! Lol

Westview/York lived up to the hype. Westview did just enough to win in advance and at this stage of the game that’s all we can do. West Tennessee seems to be a little stronger than the rest of the state this year in girls basketball. 

The 2 strongest teams in middle Tn had to play Westview and Gibson Co in substate ( thanks to TSSAA ) so left middle Tn w not as competitive teams 

Slim and none and slim just left the house 

I think they’ll win easy - oh I forgot to say which team
