let's look at the surrounding states number of classes Missouri 6 + privates multiplier Arkansas 6 (fb7) (privates forced to "play up" in a formula based on past success) Mississippi 6 + 2 private Alabama 7 + privates multiplier Georgia 6 + privates multiplier North Carolina 8 just expanded to Virginia 6 (privates +2 vague?) Kentucky 6fb other sports 1 (plus singleA has their own tourney) + has a separate state org that runs some of their private school sports and you guys say watered down when we are next to last in number of classes above Kentucky with our 4+2 We should expand to 6 like our neighbors and do away with districts and just be regions like football and the other states

sorry option76, it is basically just a dig at folks on here who claim their region/district is better than everyone else and let everyone know about that all the time when it actually isn't true not naming names but the last couple years has been rough on these posters and I don't wanna let them off the hook

A teenager at their ninth summer camp game in a row on their phone 99% of the time running both the clock and the fouls at the same time would have done a better job trying to keep both the book and the clock during the Dburg/JaxSS girls game than the people they used. It was so bad it was laughable. Scoring errors three different times, once not fixed for 30minutes in realtime. Coaches were told their players have five fouls when they didn't but making the coach sub them out at crucial times in the game. Only later to be told they could sub that girl back in she only had four. This is in a one-possession game mid 4th quarter, and then you give the coach a tech when he is frustrated by that so it was the refs too not just score/clockkeepers. Or at least it was one of the refs. He was probably in over his head. He called both techs and gave each coach a bench warning and made over half of the foul calls it seems. Some leeway needs to be given to coaches especially when the scorekeepers making mistakes all game long and refs are kicking calls. When you kick a call, just sit there and take your tongue-lashing for a bit and move on, don't double down and follow up your error by then adding a tech to the situation as long as your are not getting cussed out. Dyersburg was awarded two FTs on a shooting foul that was a made basket and missed the first one and made the second. When the refs figured out their error they made Dyersburg use the incorrect "And Two" free-throw as actually their first tech FT. Then about 3 minutes later they shoot the second tech FT but likely wanted their D1 signee shooting them but she wasn't allowed to because the girl that got fouled shooting got the extra. There were other things happen too but this post is already too long. It is a shame that what was probably the state championship game between the best two teams in the state had people working the game that were not ready for prime time. Both coaches and teams were frustrated most of the night.

last year 3 golds also

What do you mean what happened? Chalk wins out, West TN always the favorite amirite? Were folks really surprised? Had Westview's pointguard been playing it woulda been an all West TN final

.

Congrats to USJ, Gibson Co, and Dyersburg for bringing the Gold Balls back to West TN and congrats to Bartlett silver ain't too shabby either. all chalk, the pre-tournament favorites won this year ... (Actually had Wayne/Pickett as co-faves because I just didn't know who would win that game) Was a good week - especially Thursday every game was fun to watch that day

congrats to Gibson Co girls and Coach Wilkins, another gold ball for the best region in the state West TN

really didn't think this one would be that close so congrats to UHS for a good gameplan, congrats to DBurg and coach Strayhorn, another gold ball for the best region in the state once again West TN

I believe if a WestTN team played a MiddleTN team in a substate or state game tonight it was a 5-1 record for the west with Clarksville being the lone MiddleTN survivor in those matchups. Congrats to USJ state champs in A Private.

no one knows, they just post who you play. But they said because of Covid we can't do that anymore?! Also said because of Covid we can't have physical state tourney programs anymore they have to be digital. I was told that by a TSSAA official last year. It takes one person in a printing room gathering info on email from all the teams to make a physical program. ahh the good ole days of ping-pong ball machine draw of brackets and a program you can hold in your hand and flip through. Are those days gone forever?

West also well represented by (and congrats to) Scotts Hill, Riverside, and Dyer County. And Bartlett too out of Shelby County. West TN was undefeated vs Middle TN teams in sectionals.

Dyer County started 16-2 so far
