My post is intended to be a light-hearted post during a time when the board and news is filled with corona talk. On other threads, I've discussed how much this situation stinks. What stinks the most is that unless something changes quickly, some deserving teams are going to be robbed of the opportunity to rightfully claim a state championship. I don't think their accomplishments should go unnoticed in the record books. 

I understand. This is just very disappointing for everyone. 

This post is just perfect to piss a bunch of people off and  start arguments. As a a parent of a senior who is affected by this, I just want to saw I am sorry for each and everyone of these heartbroken athletes who lost their chance to go and shine at what they love.

He’s definitely 5th best in this league. That being said great win for the Monterey Wildcats good luck Monday. 

So Coach West is the 5th best coach. Peyton West isn’t good enough to be district MVP. Only two Monterey players made the all district team. Somebody somewhere is wrong. I’ll let y’all figure out who while we go hang out with our brothers from Clay County next week in Murfreesboro.

Actually the last 3 years

for Clay Co 

16-17 District and Region champs State Runner up

17-18 State tournament 

18-19 District and Region champs sub state

this is the last 3 years but this year which is still to be determined 

19-20 District Champ sub state rest to be determined

but yes know one else close to Clay and Monterey over this time. 
 

not downing any coaches just giving my opinion on how they rank. 

Just curious who is the better team this season Monterey or Clay in your opinion?

I would love to hear your reasoning behind this?

Monterey record last three years 73-36 if you count this year 96-41 Strength of schedule average over this time 18.25 schedule rank 28.5

Clay Co record last three years 85-21 if you count this year 109-24 strength of schedule average over this time 6.25 schedule rank 8

I did not add Jackson or Gordonsville  Coach Bibb first year Coach Thomas second year  so to use the past 3-4 years with them not there makes no sense  

I would rank Coach West 5th

 

Region Champs. Not bad for the “5th best coach”!!

4 best teams made it to the semis. I predict Gordonsville vs Clay Co in the championship game. 

I believe the two best teams made it to the regional championship. It should be an exciting game Thursday night on a neutral floor. Clay will be the favorite but I look for an upset.

I was counting this season  and the previous 2 seasons. My point is no one has done any better than Monterey in the last two seasons. No doubt Clay has been a powerhouse for a long time and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.

I didn’t say 1/2 of Clay was sick. Regular season only good for seeding. When this tournament starts it should be a great one. 

one of the biggest things that changes when tournament play starts is coaching means a lot more. The good coaches usually rise to the top, make the adjustments needed to win games.  District 6A has several great coaches and several ok coaches.  Coach Edwards at Clay Coach Bibb GVille Coach Thomas JC Coach Pile at Crange  my opinion best 4 coaches in league, all the others are average, definitely bottom 4 of this league. 
Tournament teams hopefully will be full strength, I heard Coach Edwards on the Cookeville radio show Saturday and said he was fully healthy for the first time in about 4 weeks, heard Monterey, Jackson andClarkrange would be player down to start tournament anyone have information. Clarkrange player suspended fight vs Stone Jackson Co play suspended Vandalism Monterey Player suspended for going after refs after game. 
 

 

 

I believe Coach West has more wins in the last three seasons than any coach listed?

Doesn’t matter who you’ve almost beat, good teams find ways to win. District tournament will be one of the best in years.  Teams better bring their A game or they will get beat. 1-6 could beat each other. Bad game in District could send a good team home. The only teams that can have a let down in the District are the #1and #2 seed because they get double bye and automatically go to Region. Looking forward to Tournament. 

I believe Clay and Monterey locked up the top two seeds last night.

1. Clay County--most talent overall, way deeper than anyone else in district.

2/3.  Monterey/RBS--Teams are very different but both rely on one player to get most of their offense.

4/5.  Gordonsville/Pickett Co--I could see either team filling in last spot to make the region.

6/7.  Jackson Co./Trousdale--Both have guys that can play.  Consistent play just not there for either yet.

8.  Clarkrange--least talented team but wouldn't surprise me if they beat someone in district tournament.

 

I don't believe the district to be a toss up.  I think Clay has the best team.  It would not shock me if they get beat again in district but only if they don't play to potential. 

  MVP race will be interesting.  Probably a 2 horse race with Marsh(RBS) and West(MHS).  Strong kid from Clay will likely be next choice but other 2 are more valuable to their team IMO.  I do think Strong kid will be great player before he is done but would not make him MVP this year. Anyway, my 2 cents worth.

Monterey is just as good as Clay. I do believe either team could win on a given night. So I think it is a toss up. Some really great young men on both teams. 

I also believe Peyton should be the MVP. He is the most talented and a difference maker. Marsh is an excellent player but Peyton wins games. His record as a starter is unmatched in the district over the last three years. IMO.

1. Monterey - can play with most anyone 

2. Pickett County - underestimated

3.  Clay/ Gordonsville - toss up

4. Jackson County- improving

5.  RBS- two players shy of being a real threat

How you got them ranked now?

As long as Rob Edwards is the coach Clay County will be the favorite IMO. 

I think he is one of the best coaches in the state. But I also believe he is losing some really special players.  Clay and Monterey should make for some great games next year. But don’t count Monterey out this year.  We don’t win pretty sometimes but we win.

Clay will be the favorite again next year. 

Monterey should be the favorite next year. We will lose only one player. 

I believe Monterey will surprise a lot of fans and Peyton West will be first team all district. Woodcock is definitely the favorite for MVP.
