I agree AA is too competitive to call this far away. This state tournament was phenomenal Even though most people didn't like the draws. 

I hope GC is back next year! Not familiar enough with their underclassmen to know if someone can fill Turners spot defensively but I think Riding can pull up offensively big time. 

Westview and Huntingdon should both be in as well. Just an easier route for WV

We lost three seniors this year everyone else is coming back, Ashlee will be back healthy and more good freshmen shooters coming next season along with a big post player. Ashlee is slated to be just as good as Jada if not better.

Key is getting there over and over. Westview and GC have done a great job of that. If you get there often enough, good things eventually  happen

It’s so hard to win up there. We felt so privileged and honored being lucky enough to win back to back. That’s why I don’t like to throw championships in other peoples faces cause of how hard it is to get that gold ball. I do feel having Gibson county in our district helps us. 

Let me find out Gibson county finna make it a 3 peat for division 7AA!!

Got a big 7th grade post player that is going to be tough! None in 8th grade though but some tough shooters/ball handler guards

Excellent! Middle school team is a little harder to keep up with. They got alumni and former players as coaches so when they get to the high school they are plug and play.

Being completely honest, I wasn't sure WV would make it this year (especially after Simpson & Brent went down), but the silver lining is I believe only 1 senior was on the floor today for them so I'd say they'll be pretty competitive next year again. I was also told that they have a couple of 8th graders coming up that are pretty decent players in their own right. I knew their only losses this year before State were to GC, Huntingdon, and S Gibson (all at State) and they had the #2 strength of schedule). WV has a good program and go about it very businesslike. 

Wait..we got more good players coming ? Any big post players?

Watching the AA games today....I'm pulling for GC to win it all, but I think that York is the favorite by a slim margin. I think this may have been the strongest AA tournament top to bottom in recent history. Great games. Go Pioneers. Congrats to WV on a great season. With the losses of the seniors from last year and the injuries this year... an impressive return.

For WV to make it back after graduating their big stars, then not being at full strength, plus having the target on their back for being back to back champions. They went down with honor, we will be back and better next season.

I’ve tried to tell everybody how good York was. McMinn Central was exceptional as well  I would like to say this should have been the championship game. We will see how it plays out but man everybody in AA is good.  I think we’re about to see another good game between Gibson and Huntington.  

I feel like York is out for blood this year..

From what I saw York made adjustments and McMinn kept doing what they did in the first half, gotta credit York for making plays too! 

This is why I value excellent coaching and being able to adjust in game

I’m watching it and Central is imposing their will. York is playing a lot of one on one ball which will not work

Score?

Give me York, Huntingdon, Gatlinburg Pittman, and Westview

I've got Westview and Huntingdon facing off in the finals. West TN basketball reigns supreme. (Side Note: is 2A easily the best overall classification of girls basketball in the state? I think you would be hard pressed to find as many quality teams across the board in any other classification in the state. Each of these teams has handled much larger schools and private schools throughout the year)

I think Gibson county will beat Huntingdon. I will feel better about us making the championship if we were at full strength. Our first game will be how the game with York was last year. Hope we come out on winning side

First round jitters..who can overcome them first is the main thing. More experienced teams and coaches have the advantage. Whose shots will fall and what team can make the least mistakes. Those are your first round winners

Any games in the top half of the bracket. 1st and 2nd rounds. I mean Gatlinburg Pittman better be thankful. The blind draw is a joke. 

Agreed, state tournament time everyone hopes luck is on their side regardless of talent.

York and McMinn

 

I was thinking Gibson county and Huntingdon. Kinda remind me of York WV last season

Which team has the toughest draw in the first round?

AA tournament is set! Predictions?

Westview back to state!

Who wins their games tonight in AA?

In AA I’d have to say WV. Not expected to do anything with a young team and their stars graduating. But will be paid attention to after winning 2 straight and still having the great coach Haskins…naw now I think about it no one a dark horse in AA, they’re all good!!

If it's Loretto, that would be a rematch from 2 years ago.  I think it'd be a really good game.  Two well coached team with plenty of talent.

 

We played Loretto a couple years back at substate and our girls said that was one of their hardest games of the year!

Not sure. I was commenting on AAA. But Gibson County/Huntingdon in the AA Quarters will be solid.

Gotcha, agreed!

How will Loretto/Cheatham Co be vs possible WV?

That is debatable about the Westview Female Chargers and the Gibson Female Pioneers. Westview Female Chargers are a good team but Gibson Female Pioneers have a much more storied history in female basketball. I guarantee it. I am Captain Guru and I approve this message.

Idk I think history wise GC and WV are right there together..both got 3 gold balls Westview has 2 silver Gibson county has one. WV has 18 state tournament appearances Gibson county as of now has 17. As a Westview alumni and fan I admit Gibson county is right up there with us in terms of history and tradition in girls basketball.

Humboldt and Union City may end up in the state championship this year.
