White Co loses to Bradley . Led at the half by one . 7 out of ten from three 1st half . Bradley went on 17 point run starting the 3rd qt . We didn't get a shot for our first nine or ten trips down the floor . Wound up with 29 turnovers for the game . Team didn't seem prepared for their pressure . Best part of Bradley's team is their defense . Even leading at the half , never felt good about game . Can't shot 70 from three entire game . Even with all of our team back next year , if we don't learn to take care of the ball , we will be no better . Hope for the best .

To 85 Warrior - All of our district girls teams lose almost nothing . Cookeville loses Savage , Rhea loses none , Stone loses one . We need to play better teams to get used to pressure defense . We finished 3rd in the district this year and Cookeville beat us three times , Rhea twice , and Stone once . Won't get any better if our turnovers don't get better .

Us losing Savage is going to be tough to replace. There are some 8th graders that could step up.

White Co girls played right into Cookeville hands . Every time we trapped , they either got a lay up or open three .  Our girls are playing their worst ball of the season . Two points in the 3rd quarter . 1 and 6 last 7 games . Still have time to turn it around . Time will tell .

The trap really hurt you all. I believe we could’ve trapped a little more.

White County loses by 1 point. Close the entire way. Like I said.....toss a coin. Not much difference in these two teams. 

Not much difference at all. Fun game!

Cookeville 52. Warren 30

I thought it might be closer than this. Warren looked out of shape.

I feel good about next year. White County returns all 5 starters. Our leading scorer is a sophomore.

I still don’t believe you all will, but time will tell.

I went to the Clarkrange/Clay County game last night and Clay Co. was the better team on this occasion.  I have said all along that Clay County is no joke and they will be a tough out come tournament time. They match up well against Clarkrange and in my opinon they have the best player in the district on this team in #10 (Strong). She’s a tough matchup for Clarkrange because she’s bigger stronger and just as fast as the twins.  They also have the best post player #23 (Arms) in the district which once again hurts Clarkrange. Clay is well coached and they are getting better.  I look for them to beat Pickett at home and the only game left on their schedule where they won’t be the favorite is at Clarkrange.  Having said all of that the number two seed coming out of the district 6A tournament will have a cakewalk to the regional finals and a substate  appearance.   There is absolutely no team in district 5A that will win a game in the region tournament so the 1-3 matchup in the regional semi finals will be a loser go home type of game and a really good team will be sent home. 

Great post! This was a great game.

White County loses at DeKalb tonight. Maybe the loss of Reeves will hurt us worse than I thought? 

I believe it will. I think she plays both sides of the floor well.

Cookeville is going to be the surprise of this district IMO. I think they shock people and win the district. Stone second, White, Rhea and Warren. I honestly don't know that Warren can beat anyone in this district this year, even with a senior laden group that has played a bunch. Stone is going to have the most overall talent probably, but the speed at which they have to play due to their size will be a tough thing to overcome if Cookeville or White can ever get the lead on them. Rhea will be competitive most always too as they showed recently witht heir win over EH. 

Great post! I believe our Cavs will shock some folks.

I have been going to this tournament for the last 2 days. The bracket paper has Cleveland in one bracket, and Bradley in the other bracket. They both made it to play each other in the championship game. Then I find out that is not going to happen. They will each play the team that the other one beat, which was Siegel and Demopolis Alabama. All Cleveland, Bradley and Siegel fans that I spoke with did not like this. Neither did I because I have always liked watching Bradley play Cleveland for a championship of any kind. Does anyone know why they aren't going by the bracket and playing a championship game? The way they are doing it now, you will not even know who gets 3rd place. Another thing, last time I payed 10.00 to get in to a tournament game was at the Arby's Classic, there is alot of difference between that tournament and this one. Other teams should ask questions before getting in this tournament next year. I will not waste another 10.00 to go tomorrow since it will not be a championship game.

$10 for the 1 day? 

I’m not sure if this is a common thing or what, but at a tourney last week this happened. I feel like as a fan it’s disappointing. These coaches get into these knowing who is it in. Would’ve been a good game.

All coaches involved were aware of the change and agreed to it. 

I sat close to Sequatchie’s bench because I was there to watch the 12:30 game.  The bracket did not have Clarkrange and Sequatchie playing the day before. The bookkeeper told me the coach for Sequatchie did not know until Dunlap’s newspaper guy who was there about 2 hours before their tip off called. When Sequatchie coach walked in which was about a hour before game time she was then told by Sparta’s girls coach. If that’s true—that’s not all coaches agreeing. Maybe a poster from Sequatchie can clear this up. I do know if that’s the case and I was Dunlap’s anything—I would not attend a mule show even in Sparta.

Good game tonight. 52-50 Cavs. Came down to the wire.  I don't think either team shot it particularly well.  Congrats Cavaliers 

Fantastic game by both teams. Shooting % was low for Cavs, but thankful to pull out the win.

This just confuses me. Out of respect these coaches should have to agree with this. We didn’t come to this a couple of years. I would like to see us go more east to play in one next year. I imagine a few of these teams will not return. If clarkrange and clay would’ve made it to the finals—would they have changed then?

Kings beat W. Kentucky in game 6.  should have played Seq in game 10.  Have pic of bracket, not sure how to post it.

I never could figure the bracket out once they let Clarkrange or Clay change because they didn’t want to play each other. I’m kind of new to these forums and not sure how you post a picture.

WC was definitely the better team tonight.  Cookeville played like a bad Jr high team and they spanked us.   I guess I will have to shut up until we show something in district play.   Good luck until then.  

Our Cavs didn’t play like previous two games. Let’s get them in regular season! I felt our crowd could’ve been larger too.

Clarkrange and Clay Co.  Did not want to play each other because they play 4 games during the season.  If they didn't want to play then don't play.  Sequetache and Kings should have been able to play as the bracket showed

I agree, but why would they both enter knowing that could be a possibility. The bookkeeper said Seq didn’t know the opponent had changed until walking in. Just not a well run tourney and what I witnessed from the girls coach from Sparta was classless. Nice cops they called though and good job not harassing the coach. She had enough that entire game.

You'd have to ask the tournament director. 79-35 final. Sequatchie had some good moments here and there in the first half, actually led 10-5 to start, but wore down in the second. 

I didn’t know of the bracket change and neither did Seq Indians according to their bookkeeper. I’m not a Sparta fan first of all and lost a bunch of respect for them tonight. I sat behind Seq bench and was appalled at how the referees treated the young lady coach from Seq. Then to watch the Sparta coach nudge the guy beside him and laugh. I put 2 and 2 together. They were in to get the coach. A warning for not being in box and a technical for who knows what..even Clarkrange coach was confused. The younger ref met with Sparta coach at half and they high 5’d. Classless. Sparta owes Seq fans and all involved an apology. Referee needs to get out of profession. The cops were then called and one asked me what the coach was doing to be unruly. Classless bunch...wish my cavs wouldn’t return.

Bracket is completely messed up now. Requests shouldn’t be granted after play starts.

Yes, not as originally posted.
