McKenzie played a great game yesterday. They were really scrappy and fought to the end. Cant wait for next season.

on Vol Nation, multiple people said that her family are Bama fans, so this is not a surprise. Belmont and Alabama were her first offers. Kellie Harper did recruit her but in the end Karly saw herself being at Alabama. The way that the transfer portal is dominating the college basketball scene, who knows? She may transfer after 1 or 2 years..... you never know

wow.. yes Greenfields press caused them problems the whole game and North Greene had no answer for Chloe.

Thats true. I wonder if they still have their post player from last year? She made some pretty good plays against Greenfield last year and pretty athletic at the 5.

Gotcha. Know they have a great boys program too as Bethel's best player this past year graduated from there. How is yalls first round matchup looking?

I will say this... When we had a long layoff between the regular season and district tournament, we were calling teams left and right trying to schedule a game. Since Greenfield played Arlington in the past, we reached out to coach shields to see if she wanted to play us. She was very complementary on our program and knew that we had a good team. The game was well played and everyone was on their best behavior. Both teams had great sportsmanship and even picked each opposing player up when they were down. After the game some of the players parents and fans went up to her and thanked her for a great game and we were very thankful that they drove 2 hours to play us on a school night. In turn she was very proud of our programs success and wished us luck in the postseason. Coach Shields is a great coach and she has a great relationship with her girls( even working with some one on one in the offseason). Her Facebook page is filled with positive energy and just her team having fun either in practice or during games. Its very unfortunate that this mess has happened to the Arlington and I hate it for her players.

I wonder how the Peabody/ Clay County matchup will go. Know a lot about Peabody but not much about Clay County....

Peabody lucky to be in the state tournament after a 69 to 64 ot win over MAHS. Game was back and forth.. MAHS had a chance to win it in regulation.

I agree but with if we had last years coach I dont think we win the district and only lose one game all year. He was a slow down the ball coach, and that's not what our girls need to play like. I agree on the talent but the coaching is a whole lot better than last year. Not sure who you mean with the sophomores but Auvenshine and K. Reynolds did a lot of minutes last year.

Madison and Jada Williams going at it will be a good matchup. Last years game was a fun one. who knows it might be a defensive battle once again. It will be a great game regardless but can Union City keep its turnovers down to stay in the ball game late? Which Union City team will show up? I am not sure. Gibson county's keys are to try to get Jada into foul trouble and let the supporting cast for UC try to do the scoring. We might have that Rocky type slugfest in McKenzie tomorrow.

Yes you are right. Man I would love to see a GC and McKenzie rematch at the glasshouse. Single A will be a lot easier for us next year with a good amount of teams moving up to AA. Loretto will come out with a good game plan against us and they think they will try a lot of what Huntingdon has a done the past two times they have played us.

We have been on fire the past 2 games. I think that carries over tomorrow night. Love the parity of scoring on our team this year.

Bennett and Callahan will be on her. IMO Callahan matches up with her physical wise but she will have to stay out of foul trouble. Bennett has done a great job all year staying out of foul trouble. I know you get this but others on this board dont.... This is the same McKenzie team that played Loretto last year. We were slow, turnover prone and couldn't hit a layup even if we were uncontested. Wilkins has done a great job developing players in the offseason and improving our fundamentals. That has led to improved play and a 27 and 1 season. We are probably the most physical team that Loretto will play all year.

McKenzie 67 Loretto 60. Loretto struggles with our press early but makes a push in the second half. McKenzie just too much to handle out on the perimeter. All attention will be on Karly and I think we hold her in check.

Coach Liggett was a great hire for y'all. She gets after the officials and really motivates her players ( reminds me a lot of Kellie Jolly Harper). The key to Peabody is you have to attack the basket either to draw the foul or kick it out for the 3. In the Gleason game, Peabody was able to get a lot of steals and forced turnovers because Gleason wasn't attacking their zone; they were just simply passing it around the perimeter which caused the Lady tide to get in the passing lanes which led to steals and easy layups. On the defensive end; Greenfield must be ready to take charges. Easley and CeCe Johnson love to drive to the basket. If you get those two, but Johnson in particular in foul trouble, then Greenfield has a chance to get the W.

I personally would to like to see a Greenfield/ Gibson County matchup in the region championship. I think Greenfield is playing much better as the season goes on and the supporting cast around Edie Darby are knocking down shots. The first meeting between Gibson and Greenfield was a very close game.

Greenfield has better guard play than Gleason and they can shoot the 3 better. Greenfield is very discipled and they don't panic when pressured. I think that Peabody/ Greenfield is a tossup rn... could see either team winning.

Best matchup tonight in West TN is Gleason and Peabody. I will say Peabody by 6.. 41 to 35. Sean will have a great game plan I think to slow down Peabody but the lady tide are just too quick for Gleason to handle. Heard that Wayne County and Huntingdon might be close?

The two sisters moved to Huntingdon. Mom got a job as a teacher at the middle school. #35 is a great player. Huntingdon has a great team with some young pieces that will be tough to handle when they get to be upper classmen. Brooklyn Williams is there best player this year and they will certainly miss her presence once she graduates.

I fell asleep watching the Gleason/ Greenfield game last night . Man i cant stand that slow ball but it works in Greenfields favor against their rivals. I would have loved to watch the Greenfield and Union City game tonight. Two very different teams on paper and two contrasting styles going at it. You can tell that Greenfield is improving and playing a lot better as the season is going along.

He deserves it! very proud of the job he has done for our boys and girls basketball programs. He has a brought a passion and love of basketball to our town that used to be just known as a football town.

Gleason and Peabody will be a tough matchup for both squads. Peabody wants to play fast and up tempo while Gleason wants to slow it down and get a good shot. Anderson will definitely need some help in region play.

McKenzie beats Huntingdon tonight 68 to 47. Bennett 18 and Katie Chesser 16 for the Lady Rebels. Tonight was our First district title since 1966! Really impressed with our ability to hit the long ball and creating our own drives to the basket. Tonight was probably Lilly Bennett's best game all year.

It will be interesting how each team plays considering the lengthy layoff between games. McKenzie tough matchup traveling to Huntingdon for the semifinal.

Yes I saw your post and read it...... I just reported the announcement on here for folks that didn't know.
