Jalen Heard and Hillsboro on a similar path to championship game. Heard while with Cookeville Cavs last season took down Maryville, Bradley Central, and Bartlett on way to final. Hillsboro has beaten Maryville and Bradley Central on way to final. Had a chance to face Indy in final.

Lol. I forgot about that bozo calling that foul with 2 seconds left. You are correct. But I didn’t say he wouldn’t stay. A lot of great players coming back gives him a lot of reasons to stay. And he seems to have a cash cow with the play days and official training program going on. But the path to the gold ball is extremely tough where he is now. That being said it is more difficult for Cookeville with the district, region, and sectional challenges. And coach Gillies would be a GREAT hire but probably hard to pull roots up now with a senior. If they want a coach from Cookeville, other than Coach Gillies, that would be Coach Vann. There wouldn't be a better hire in the state. They would win immediately! Absolute best in the business.

After 3 straight trips to the glass house and a silver ball, he hasn’t been to glass house since being put in district with Cookeville. Heck he hasn’t won a district or region tourney in that time either. Something like 2-12 vs Cavs in that stretch (2 wins this year). Now he is in an “easy” district/region without Cookeville. Should win both but will have to face Cookeville, Bradley, Coffee, or Cleveland in the sectional. I would run far far away. Take the bag.

I actually picked Heritage before that LA game. I didn’t think LA would hang with them at home. But in the glass house this year the top two teams most of us would have picked as winners were knocked out in both 1A and 3A levels. You could say 2A also with McMinn getting knocked out earlier but it’s hard to argue that wasn’t the best two 2A teams in the final. Anything can happen when you put that many good teams on the court. Just making it there is hard enough. It takes a special run and team to come out on top on Saturday. You also need a decent whistle and a little luck along the way. This year just showed how hard it really is.

Kinda liked it happened. But I didn’t think both the top teams would go out.

Yeah I noticed the foul count was similar and that is with WC intentionally fouling late in the game. WC just didn’t have anyone make a bucket down the stretch. Should have pounded inside the entire second half.

It was a great game. Tough first round game. Very evenly matched teams.

No doubt. This one up for grabs. Hopefully foul trouble doesn’t play a part but both teams playing well.

😳 ohh my. I didn’t get to watch this game yet. I am sure he thought that was their best chance to win but wow. That is the worst case scenario when keeping them out there with 4.

You’ve seen them more than us. You are probably right.

At least you are smart enough to know part of the story. But obviously not all of it.

Pretty sure Cookeville beat MC and Loretto with a matchup zone. We played a lot of zone early this year. But Bystry was phenomenal.

One of them played 1 season for his AAU in 8th/9th grade then played at TN Pride. She rejoined his travel ball team again after transfer. The other senior joined his team this summer after transfer. I don’t think she played travel ball before this season but I could be wrong. Definitely not on his team. I believe the 9th grade player joined his team this summer. I don’t remember seeing her play before 8th grade (this year).

This is true. And I am tired of reading about recruiting. If you are starting on a team and you are one of the leading scorers and things were so bad that you are willing to sit out your Jr season just to change schools, that is NOT recruiting.

That’s a crazy stat. Wow.
