You're obviously not aware of the juniors and seniors who's play the last few years has helped Meigs win state. They're a young team though this year with about 13 freshmen and sophomores of a 19 player roster. 
Sweetwater will have their best team in years.  Glad to see some other district teams getting better to make it more interesting.

well i did say i dont follow softball much, so yeah, im really not aware

That’s interesting Meigs played Sweetwater 5 times last year and beat them with a combined run total of 50 to 1. It looks like pitching did it’s job but to give up 50 runs in 5 games ether the defense is not very good or Meigs has some good hitters.

Don’t follow softball a whole lot, just went and watched Sweetwater at state and also watched meigs while I was there. I should have clarified myself. Meigs will definitely be a solid team, could probably beat Sweetwater, I’m just not sure who they have returning besides reed and the b-ball player (Kenny). If they make it to state, those two will have to carry them

Two nominations for men that I believe deserve it. 

Dominique Oggs from sweetwater. Averaged abt 22 ppg 11rpg which was before tourney play. Best pure athlete in our area without a doubt 

Brantley baker from meigs. Don’t know his stats, not a fan of his team. But he’s one of the best pure scorers around, no doubt in my mind

Fantastic season Sweetwater. Nothing but proud

Couldn’t catch a game tonight unfortunately. Flooding in my basement bad. All day cleaning it out. Sad for the chiefs but now to root on the wildcats!!

I don't think I did.  I said she would score 30!    

sorry i did not mean to put words into your mouth. Meant just as a compliment towards hampton. i agree 100% with your assessment of the game!

Pennington game plan was masterful. Ball just didn’t go in the hoop!! Congrats Sweetwater!!

The regional games will be at Bradley after first round.   I have seen all of the teams in both regions play.   Bradley definitely has the toughest bracket.  Cookeville has given stone all they wanted all 3 games they have played especially last night.  White county isn’t playing well but they have some ballers.  I expect WC to make a game of it.  But Bradley’s pressure could force WC into too many turnovers and blow them out.  Cookeville has beaten Cleveland twice this year.  I think we are playing well enough to make it 3 in a row.  Similar size teams but Cookeville has a deeper bench.   I believe it will be Cookeville vs Bradley in next round.

 On other side of bracket.  Stone should handle Mcminn with their size advantage.  I don’t see how this is too close.  Stone is playing great and just too big.   East Hamilton vs Rhea puzzles me.  How did Rhea win that game earlier this year?  I think Hayes scores 30 and Hampton scores 30.  If Rhea shoots the 3 like they did last night this will be a game. Ultimately,  I think 14 is just too good for a team as small as Rhea.  EH should win.    Stone vs EH will be a battle of the bigs.   Should be a close game.

Sequoyah beat Loudon...you never know what will happen after the regular season ends!!

Same thing happened at Red Bank tonight...E.Ridge upsets Red Bank on their home court and is now eliminated!! 

Yes!! The Chiefs with a HUGE win tonight. Whew!! Great game. 

my predictions remain the same for tonite. Loudon and sweetwater as the winners. should be a good night of basketball. cant wait!

Big win for polk. Came to watch. Baker and Burrows played pretty evenly, both defenses had good gameplans for them. Polk role players outplayed meigs by a lot outside of newman. If you were there, you got a glimpse of what meigs would be like without baker at the end. It was ugly

After last match-up, I seen this as a potential upset.  For whatever reason, Seq. created a match up problem defensively for my boys in blue.  Good Luck to the rest on the way.

thought  u guys played great. was just a really good game. congrats on a great season logcabinman

Well we didn’t start out to good on our picks. We are both 0-1

One of us will get in the win column tomorrow as you have meigs and I am sticking with my polk pick. Anything can happen tho!!

The CHIEFS with a big win over the chargers. Wiggins was a beast!!

Congrats to the all district team. 

Wiggins and grant from seq. Burrows and lairmore from polk. Thacker from central. Baker and newman from meigs. Small thaxton and Blankenship from loudon. Billinngsley and Kyle from Sweetwater. Congrats to Oggs for winning MVP. Best player on best team

Baker is a really good Baseball player.

Interesting. Not often do good basketball players play anything else, especially baseball considering it cuts into aau season. Wiggins from seq also plays but he’s the only other one I kno of

If I remember correctly they played man to man. Polk tried to box and one him Thursday night but it didn’t work to will. Polk doesn’t have anymore that can match up with Newman. Should be some good games.

I agree. No one matches well with the big guy. But with baker working so hard to get the ball, one would think he is going to try to score when he gets some of his limited touches. That’s why I believe the others will have to get newman the ball. Do these two play any other sports? I kno newman plays football

Last match-up the Chiefs had a descent lead going in to the 4th qtr.  The wheels fell off and the Chargers got hot.  We shall see.

If chiefs shoot well they can keep it close. Just not the year I expected them to have. Central by 15+

You could be right, but if Baker plays like he did Friday night against McMinn County, I think Meigs wins vs Polk, he had 39 points. But I think Meigs and Central will be playing for 3rd and 4th.

Question. Did McMinn co just play a man to man? If so, that is where they lost. You cannot play a man against meigs or Baker will tear u apart. I would say polk will box and one him forcing the others to feed newman and beat them. Watching meigs this year, Baker is the only one who consistently can feed newman. That is why I am taking Polk. Just my opinion tho

Loudon will be a tough game at home.  There is no telling how this one could shape up!!

I still see Sweetwater and Loudon as the favorites, but with some of the inconstancy with the rest of the teams, who knows??? 

I expect you’re chargers to handle the chiefs with ease on Wednesday my friend. No worries for you

not sure about a full 10.. but sweetwater should be pretty good. they have a really nice pitcher coming back. meigs lost rogers and reed so not expecting much from the defending champs

I agree with everything but I think Meigs over Polk, Meigs beat Polk Pretty good Thursday and McMinn County last night. But I wouldn’t be surprised if Loudon gets upset. Just a feeling.

You could be right but polk shooters are prob too much in my opinion. I was on meigs train all year thinking they would get it together but just seems like they never could

Consolation games start this week. Taking central over sequoyah and Polk over meigs. Loudon and Sweetwater meet in finals. Prediction for that will come later

Sweetwater vs Polk and then meigs vs central. Thinking abt traveling to meigs tonite because I don’t think the other game will be too good
