A - McKenzie AA - Westview (Unanimous) AAA - South Side (Unanimous) AAAA - None

I saw the score from what to South Side did to that team from Alabama. I will say no one around here will give them a game. I'll be looking for them in Murfreesboro. From scores, it looks like South Gibson is struggling right now vs good teams. Chester and McNairy will battle in their district. I think Crockett and Dyersburg battle in their district.

I see where Westview and South Side won big and USJ and McKenzie had some tight ones.

So I see the South Gibson vs Gibson Co. score. Who went and what happened to their outstanding defense that was posted about on other post?

Hear Davis for McKenzie is out for a long while. Still McKenzie?

I believe right now all we're doing is waiting to see if the bracket will be set for a Upperman vs South Side rematch

South Side just knocked off Gibson Co and Trinity Christian Academy convincingly. I hear they are on a mission. Their schedule looks a little better than past years with McKenzie, Trussville from Alabama and Ritter Prep from Missouri. Could we see a rematch of last years championship game?

West - Jackson South Side Middle - Upperman East - Greeneville

Bartlett is definitely a huge team and maybe Sims makes them better. I saw South Side best them in 2OT game this summer at Covington. They were fouling a lot and the post that's going to NC State could not keep up. They were a very cocky bunch. Not that great to me, very undisciplined. I don't think they can beat Bradley Central, Blackman or Bearden.

Definitely agree Upperman is the favorite. That's a well coached bunch of girls. Down here in West Tn, Coach McNeal over at South Side always runs a good program and I was happy to see them make a deep run last season. He returns a good group so I couldn't talk AAA without them.

This is a good post, but I am confused. Is this a Middle Tn comment or a AAA comment? How do you mention all those middle tn/upper cumberland teams, add South Gibson, and not mention the runner up from the past season who only loss by 5 and returned 5 of their top 7 or 8? Heard they could have easily beaten Munford by 50, but one official had a say in that.

Interested to see all these teams that have been mentioned. Upperman is the defending champ, but I know they lost the PG, but return the post player. South Gibson returns everybody, South Side returns a lot also. What about the others that made it to MBoro last March, Page, Dyer Co, Greeneville, Fayette Ware? I believe Hall of Champions/Fame games start this coming week, so we will see some action soon.

Let's here it. What do you guys think?

South Side has 3 silvers and a gold in the last 11yrs. and i believe one other state tournament appearance. So I guess everybody turned the ball over until the those 3 state championship games and one semifinal game. *shrugs

Yes this was mentioned earlier in the thread, but you are right.

When people get into talking about scheduling, I think they forget to figure in the budget for travel and other things.

I am ready for Tuesday and Friday Nights! I think they both will be the premier AAA teams from West Tn no matter who is on their schedules. I am predicting deep runs and good 4 good battles between the two.

Schedules are posted on here and TSSAA website

I read similar post like this last year. But both made pretty deep runs. South Gibson losing in region semifinals and South Side state runner-up and from the looks of it the schedules aren't much different.

TSSAA rules are a bit over the top if you ask me. In the past. there was summer dead period and then a no practice period once schools starts. What's the point?

Rumor is they've made an hire. Haven't heard a name yet.

@pioneer42 So who's your top 5 west tn teams?

Hear it was another situation similar to JCM, irreconcilable differences.

I heard Trenton girls won the tournament in Dexter, MO. That's huge for them. Any more updates or reviews from different camps?

I saw 3 kids from Fayette Ware playing with Rossville today. Does anybody know what happened at Fayette Ware?
