First off you play with what you’ve got.   But yes GC is better than westview even if westview was full strength.  They beat them the first time they played by 20+ with full strength.  It’s hard to beat a good team 4 times.  Look at the district championship last year when GC knocked off westview.  

I remember that! Good point! I believe GC is having the season WV had last year

Gibson Female Pioneers are just plain better than Westview Female Chargers. I guarantee it. Do you want to bet me? I am Captain Guru and I approve this message.

Do u think they’re plain better if WV is at full strength?

I know Westview lost, but I think they fought and hung in pretty well! Hope to see both teams in Murfreesboro!

I want to see Dresden win..won’t be surprised if UC pulls it off

Well if you go to the grind in Martin to eat you’ll be joined by some deer. A young buck paid a visit last night while guests were eating.

No doubt Graham will take over next year. Have you seen the kid play?! He’s going to be better than Ty imo! With most receivers returning next year, he will have a hay day throwing to them. Westview will only lose a few players but is gaining a pretty solid 8th grade group that has been in back to back TMSAA state championship games

Yes Westview is about to be very dangerous next season, those kids are gonna be in the weight room all summer. Graham is better than what Ty was at this point.

I said Westview would lose with honor! Good team they have coming up! Ready to see Simpson at the helm!

Westview will lose with honor. Go into the offseason and have Simpson 2 at QB next season.

Westview looked better than people anticipated. Those young boys are gonna be GOOD in about a year or two, I’m in no way upset about that. Dresden just had more experience and more seasoned players.

Westview is blessed to have the middle school feeder program that they do. That middle school coach has been there for like 10 years and is from Martin. She played ball for the McMillans and Stephenson so learned from some of the best. I don’t remember them having a losing season or more than 7-8 losses in any of her years. They have been at the middle school state tournament 4 out of the last 5 years that they have had the tournament and always seem to add talent to the high school program each year. They added Jada’s sister, Tasia Jones to the coaching staff this year which just adds more championship knowledge and gives those kids a championship mindset at a young age. I wouldn’t be surprised if she didn’t move up to a high school coaching job soon but Martin needs to keep her around as long as they can!

Agreed! I know one of the middle school coaches he said the girls got TWO good players coming replacing jada and Jillian and one girl shoot better than jada averaging 25-30 a game. Idk how far you go back but do you remember amber rechis?

We don’t rebuild….we reload!

I’ve heard of a star player or two we are getting from the middle school. We lose a star gain another. Jadas sister is on the coaching staff there.

A college town skews the population for sure…just ask Martin! That’s why they go by the high school enrollment and that’s it

A lot of people ask me about that. Martin has approx. 11K as a city, the campus is approx 7K from what I was told. We’ve always had a pretty good size student body and school mainly being in 3A or a big 2A. If Martin was listed at 17K by including college population and not going by school student count we’d easily be 4 or 5A.

No. We will have one Tomorrow. Then a parade to follow so. Our mayor is a South Side alumni so we will have a “Hawk Day” in Jackson very soon!
 

Trey Smith is from Jackson & plays with the Kansas City Chiefs and won the Super Bowl so the mayor gave him “Trey Day” 

I saw him in longhorn in Jackson with his family a couple weeks ago. My grandparents know his people.

Respectively, I don't know if that's the case. A few years ago, Westview was playing Cheatham County in their championship game, and the officials had 3 huge blunders in their game.

#1: (score was 42-40 CC with 25-30 seconds remaining) an offensive foul against Westview while the defender on CC was already falling down prior to the contact being made. 

#2 (same 42-40 score) CC was shooting 2 free throws and Westview (and the clock operator) got confused thinking it was a 1-and-1. While Westview went and grabbed the rebound after the first free throw, half a second went off the clock on TV (I don't know if it went off the clock inside the Murphy Center or not), and the officials didn't correct it back to the actual time.

#3 (same 42-40 score) Cheatham County missed the second free throw as well and there was a CC player who gave Westview an extended arm bar to the Westview's players back. It's pretty obvious if you find a way to look at it on film. No loose ball foul was called on CC.

It's always a topic, I'm sure not letting things get too "physical" was a point of emphasis during the state tournament. Calling over 100 fouls during the 16 quarterfinal games than last year is a point of concern and it's something that has got to be addressed immediately.

This year, was that a foul on York against Westview? No way. However, when High School officials see an arm swipe going down on an offensive player, they're going to call in 8-9 times out of 10, regardless if the defensive player got "all ball" which see did. To me, it's not a foul in any level, and I think college/NBA officials would likely let that play go. In that play, it was tied at 42 all with 6 seconds to go. If the officials didn't call a foul, York would've got the rebound on that same play. So yes, I do think it cost York a chance to win the game.

Again, a few years ago, I thought the officials cost Westview a chance to win the game. This year, I thought they helped Westview and ended up costing York a chance to make a game winning shot in regulation in a tied game.

What happened with South Side should be more of a concern because (In my opinion) the officials were calling the game a certain way, and then there was a technical foul against South Side, and then the game was called a different way. The box score doesn't take much to see what happened and how that game was officiated between halves. I do believe the officials just caved in to South Side in that half, and gave them a lot of whistles and free throws, way more than Elizabethton. It was more of "let's just please South Side than officiate the game." Feelings are real, my friend. 

If I told you, if the officials didn't give South Side that technical foul on (I think) McNeal, does South Side still win the game? And you answered yes, I would told you that you're crazier than a Huntingdon football fan having optimism in November...

And as a Westview fan and alumni that game still burns me up. And people think we don’t know what it’s like to be on the bad side of the whistle.

.....sounds like a back-to-back state tournament loser to WV with that stupid post. Good luck next year. If WV doesn't beat you, then GC, Huntingdon, Loretto or Summertown probably will. 

We’ve been to the state tournament 11 straight years. If only people knew how many games we’ve lost due to the same thing he just said, need I remind some people of the cheatham county game? We’ve also been on the bad side of the whistle too.

I like our defense more than anything we need to keep that up. Halftime 25-16 WV

One of the best for sure. 4A has had some great games. York/Westview was very good as well. 

Double overtime will make you lose weight from the stress alone, York/Westview was the expected classic.

Will I be wrong if I said that was probably the best game in this entire tournament thus far?

I said it..big game experience! But hats off to York man! I gotta give them they flowers they are GOOD

This game will be decided by who is more disciplined, big game experience will pay dividends. 

After this weeks games what’s the new order?
