That one foul didn't decide the whole game. Hart only had about 6 pts? Cantrell was struggling tonight too but still highest scorer. The little freshman did her part and #30 held mcminns #5 very well. Gc just didn't play their best all around. But hopefully someone will step up next year in Cantrell place and they'll be back next year. Good luck to WV in the champs!

I don't think either gc or mcminn played their full potential today. It will be interesting to See who shows up tomorrow!

It's very close right now. Peabody has 4 charges already. It's been close but I think turning in mckenzie direction now.

I'm not familiar with mcminn/GP at all. What are chances of a GC/Westview rematch in the finals?

No way Peabody can compete with Mckenzie! Sad draw for them!

Agree there for sure! Will be interesting to See how the players adjust/step up once she's gone.

Loretto (maybe lol) Westview GP Alcoa (I hope) York And I'm not familiar enough with the rest. Good luck to all

Not about making anyone happy. And I'm sure she's a great kid. The only kid I know personally on GC right now sits the bench. I just know as a coach, I'm not changing the formula I had that won the only game against a team I played. Its what coaching and developing your best should be about. Good luck to the girls the rest of the way through. I haven't seen Loretto play since Karly left so I'm outta the loop. I'm sure it will be a tough game.

She had some huge rebounds and deflections in the first quarter and the few min played in 2. Even the two broadcasts were very complimentary of her. If he wasn't happy with that effort, then he's expecting way more of her than Again...I think the formula last game was it to beat westview and he got it wrong tonight.

I am definitely not Daddy Wilkins biggest fan, but I wouldn't call him tacky. He knows how to work the refs to his teams advantage. He has pretty high basketball iq and appears to be a good guy, BUT He does make questionable decisions that I think cost him games at times...just like tonight... Sitting behind the bench tonight, his son Wilkins from Huntingdon suggested he put back in #30 to guard Jada, assist coach agreed and Wilkins shot it down. The little #2 was doing a decent job but fouled out. Last time #30 matched up with Jada, she barely had a foul called the whole game. She's the best defensive player on that team imo. If Wilkins doesn't want to play her, she shouldn't be a starter. Good ole boy system going on or he really couldn't see how it worked last game? The announcer said GC plays Loretto but did I see someone else say Summertown?

Respectfully disagree with that. Kee is a great player but she can't guard every person on the floor. Cantrell is good at making last second looks in the drive too. So if Kee would've picked her up, she would've gotten the ball to someone else last second. And from what I've seen their post #14 rarely leaves from under the goal or shoots from outside so she would've been there. No secret that I'm not the biggest fan of wilkins either. Just calling it how I see it.

Agreed. Cantrell did the job! And huntingdon did a great job defending hart and holding her back.

That was a good game. Didn't think GC was gonna pull it out at first. Cantrell was shining bright tonight tho while Hdon held Hart with some good defense. Refs weren't so great but unfortunately I've seen worse this season. GC and WV should be a fun game to watch Wed!

Hart only had 18 ppg in the season but scored 24 this game. My point being that players to that caliber turn it up even more in the post season, especially in such a close game. If she hadn't have been limited as well as she was, that 19 could have very well been closer to 30...would've made a huge difference. Of course they will come back strong. No one expects less of such a great team.

A coach told me that the only thing WV beat GC in was blocks and 3 pt %. But they didn't shoot as many 3s because like you said...Jada was limited on kicking it out. There were points in the broadcast you could see Jada getting frustrated because she was covered up. I was also told they limited her to 19 points total, mostly in 2nd half. I was shocked hardly no fouls called on her and the GC player guarding her. (#30 i think majority of game.) They were really tangled up and playing tough! I'm not familiar with all the teams in the region but I hope to see these two teams battle it out again.

No do or die but odds of them being in regional championship game?

Been summer since I saw Dyersburg. Sounds like they have improved alot since I saw them last. Do they still have the Jordan girl who moved from Trenton? And the big post? Jasmine I think is her name? His granddaughter KK will be a beast like her mama!

Seemed like alot of fouls called in 1st half too. It was definitely a different match up from last time yall played. Congrats.

I was able to watch online. Huntingdon was more scrappy than usual with the pushing or were the refs making bad calls? People look tiny on NFHS. I think that helped GC alot. I will say that I think everyone on GC did their part. Idk all their names but #30, #1 and the other girl with braids had the best defense on the team imo. Good team win for you guys.

How long ago was that though? Totally different situation. To say she was snubbed would mean you are thinking she was a better choice than the three chosen. I don't think that's it here in 2023. Just not enough spots and the overall stats per person and team were higher for these other girls. Hart has another shot at it next year without Jada in the picture. I am definitely ready to see how it all plays out in the glass house this year. Good luck to all!

I don't really think anyone was snubbed. Jada Harrison by far is #1 choice for this award hands down. When you look at Beaty with 15 D1 offers and her consistency with the same AAU team, York and Beaty also had a better performance in the glass house last year. I'm not as familiar with Newman, but looking at stats, hers were higher too. Unfortunately there just aren't enough spots for everyone to become a finalist.

Is there a bracket out there somewhere? I heard the huntingdon game may possibly be on the 15th.

Agree with the statement about pressing vs 1st and 4th qtr. Big difference. And like letsgobrandon said, just a personal opinion and play style/sportsmanship choice. Just because someone offers up constructive criticism of a team or instance, doesn't mean they have "something against" anyone. No need to feel so defensive when we are all just stating opinions. I love to see JV be aggressive but at the same time, utilize that 20+ lead to work on other things. You can still be aggressive without pressing. I'm sure they play plenty of JV games where they can focus on that.

Definitely agree about pressing when such a big lead!

Milan, union city, henry co, greenfield? Not beating any of those teams by 30? Definitely not jealous of GC. Esp after all ive heard. I've had two family members on that team. I've also had friends or family on trenton, humboldt, dyer Co, westview and union city. I follow west tn closely due to that and because I'm an assistant coach (aau) and always looking for untapped talent. Everyone just calls it as we see it and obviously some can't take the conversation. It's all good man. I wish GC the best of luck. Hopefully won't be a repeat of the last couple years and lose the first game at state when faced with some tough competition. WV in my opinion will take the gold ball again but it would be nice to see some other teams from the west do more this year
