Heard Henry County's best player went down with a knee injury at Lexington.  Do you know pioneer42?  We have them Tuesday.  

Averie O'daniel might be an acl she will get it checked out to know for sure this week

Great response by Gibson County tonight. Huntingdon came out on an 8-0 run and Wilkins called TO and went off and they came out of the TO looking like a GC basketball team. Went on a 66-28 run and won 66-34. Had maybe 2-3 TO’s all night it seemed. Great bounce back.

Great win and great bounce back. Huntingdon couldnt figure out yalls defensive pressure all night. Madison did a great job taking Lillie Kee  out of the game and GC's zone prevented Sophie Singleton driving to the basket. Great game plan and huge district win for y'all.

Pioneer42, I usually agree with most everything you say.  It was a good game tonight.  But I don't think UC or Huntingdon will be in the ballgame with yall.  

I think Huntingdon will.. that's if Lillie Kee or Sophie singleton gets a touch each possession. Sophie Singleton matches up well with Madison Hart, but I think Huntingdon's guards are outmatched. 

Great win last night against a scrappy Gleason ball club 70 to 60. Davis with 21 with 4 others in double figures. Carrington Lifsey had a nice game with 22 but when Anderson went out with 4 fouls in the 3rd quarter that was it for Gleason. Not sure why their big post didn't play the second half for Gleason ( she wasn't injured or anything). Impressive win by our girls. Got another big game on Thursday against TCA.

Big win today over 4a Clarksville 63 to 50. Savannah Davis 25 points today and good balance throughout the supporting cast. Back at it again tomorrow against Stewart County.

We beat Henry County by 15 but led by 20 plus or so a lot of the game on opening weekend. I think y’all will beat them by 10-15. I was really impressed at how good McKenzie shot the three ball in transition. Obviously both teams are better since last year. The Davis kid really impressed me as well. McKenzie shoots the three with as much confidence as you will see. Gibson County played really well in the 4th I thought and that was the difference. Thought Gibson County played well in the first but their rebounding was bad. They rebounded better in the fourth and didn’t lose their man near as much.

When I saw that Henry county score I was like no way... Henry county is better then most thought, their Gleason win looks even more impressive now. We play them next Monday at their place really looking forward to that game. 

Sorry been mia today.. crazy day at work. My biggest question was why did we press for the either 4 quarters with only six players? Our girls just completely ran out of gas in the 4th quarter, which led to a lot of missed shots and turnovers. Our players and coaching staff will learn from this and work to get better. On the bright side I am very proud of our girls for competing hard and battling back after being down double digits in the first half. Both teams were very physical with each other which was expected and in the end GC just out played us.

GC by 10+ at home, high scoring game imo. Davis will get her points but the Hart girls will be too much to handle.

we put 83 on the board tonight without the starters playing the last 4 minutes of the 3rd and entire 4th quarter. I think the game will be in the high 60's to low 70's as well.

Good list. If Brooklyn Anderson comes back keep an eye on North Green. She is a game changer and they have enough players around her to make a serious run if she comes back. Pickett County has done some good things as well. It wouldn’t suprise me to see McKenzie and Clay County for the Gold Ball, but Wayne County and Clarkrange are not to be looked over either.

I forgot about Pickett County, we have a girl at Bethel that starred there, really good program. Hearing good things about Clarkrange even after the twins graduated. Haven't caught film on Clay County but saw Wayne county play Summertown earlier this year. Baugus for Wayne is a player and very aggressive, also some very high basketball IQ guards on that team. Houston County in our district will be a challenge. 

games to watch this week in single A: 

Summertown at Fayetteville (Monday)

McKenzie at Gibson county (Tuesday)

van buren county at Clarkrange (Tuesday)

Scotts Hill at west Carroll (Tuesday)

clay county at york institute (Thursday)

Pickett County at Livingston Academy (Thursday)

Houston County at Stewart County (Friday)

Huntingdon at McKenzie (Friday)

If am Gibson County I get out on the three point line and try to take away the three. They go around me that’s fine but they are not going to beat me shooting three’s  Same with South Gibson. Now that may be easier said than done.And yes I remember y’all beating us well last year. McKenzie a great team and GC will have their hands full. McKenzie likely top two or three team in state when rankings come out. I don’t make predictions any more but I do like how GC is playing right now. 

The thing with us is that our offense is drive and kick and pass and cut. We have played great defensive teams such as Greenfield and Union City and they were unable to stop the drive. But Gibson county will be the best all around team we have played so far. Post play is my obvious concern Tuesday and defending Madison will be the toughest tasks for me personally. We have played two quality posts so far in Lillie kee and Sophie Singleton and we did a decent job defending those two, but Madison Hart is another level (especially given her improvement shooting the 3 and driving to the basket). Of course we have a short bench and staying out of foul trouble will be a must.  On the other side Gibson County must do like you said and be to able to keep us in front defensively which will be a tough task but I think yall have the guard play  and are disciplined enough to be able to do that. The team that doesn't turn the ball over the most will win the game. 

my rankings so far in single A: 1. McKenzie 2. Clay county 3. Clarkrange  4. Wayne county 5. Gleason 6. Houston County

Gibson county is definitely the heavy favorite at home in this matchup. They didn’t lose anyone from last year and have one of the best post players in the state surrounded by multiple battle tested guards who have a high basketball IQ and can all shoot it. Mckenzie’s pressure won’t bother Gibson County. Wilkins will have them ready to roll. I’m not sure McKenzie will score much more than 40 against their defense. GC is a lot further along than McKenzie. I say GC by 15 +. 

Heavy favorite? it be will a lot closer ball game than you think.  We have one of the best players in class A who is surrounded by quick feisty guards that love to turn teams over. Remember We beat Gibson county at GC last year 63 to 60. Our girls are fired up to play this game and it has been circled on the schedule before the season started. It will be a fast paced high scoring game. Our last two games we have scored 76 and 63 points. The lady rebels average 62 points a game while we are giving up 40 points a game. Gibson county and McKenzie are two top dogs in the area right now and it will be a great matchup.

I think Gleason needs to be put in the conversion in being one of the top teams in West TN. Alayna Anderson and Carrington Lifsey are playing red hot for them right now and they are dominating every team on their schedule. I will say this about McKenzie... yes we don't have a true post and yes our bench is very thin, but we make up our size difference with speed and smarts. We force a lot of steals and will press you to death for 4 full quarters.  The supporting cast around Savannah Davis has played well and  those girls are scoring at  a more efficient clip than last year. Big game against Henry County this Friday for both of our squads.

McKenzie picks up the win over the  Huntingdon Fillies tonight 76 to 55. Briley Auvenshine 19 and Katie Chesser 14 to lead a balanced scoring attack for the lady rebels.

McKenzie 41 South Pitt 28 (Revenge game!)

Westview 35 Hampton 20

Yeah the Fillies are probably fighting for 3rd in the district. Fillies are still a young team, no seniors. Got some talent, our young post had 34 against Camden Tues night. I think shes going to be special. Very long. If we can play a little more disciplined we are capable of upsetting some good teams. We are very deep squad with a lot of fouls to give. Got McKenzie Tues night at home. Going to be interesting.

Very impressed with the balanced post combo yall have with Singleton and Kee.. Sophie has shown this year that she is more aggressive in driving to the basket which makes her a even dangerous player. I think the score will be closer on Tuesday than most people expect.

Big week for us this week.... arch rival Huntingdon on Tuesday and then was supposed to be Westview on Friday. Since our football team will be playing for the ship that day, not sure if this game will be moved to another day or canceled. Really hope the latter isnt true, would be an awesome game to watch!

K. sneed. Family moved to Lebanon. Don't know if she is playing there or not?

It’s been interesting to hear Huntingdon fans expectations for the season.  I have heard 2-8 and I have heard 8-2.  I think 6-4 is probably realistic.  This team can make some noise in the postseason if they stay healthy.  This will be the first year in a few years where the starters will have to play four quarters most games.  
They scrimmage liberty tomorrow night.

I agree with 6-4 or maybe even 7-3. Yall have a really tough schedule and I would be totally satisfied with a 6-4 record or better.

Have you heard anything about the McNairy-McKenzie scrimmage and/or the Hardin Co.-Riverside scrimmage?

McKenzie beat McNairy don't remember the score exactly, wasn't close. McKenzie moved the ball really well all night. Excited for this season!
