Middleton has new gym not as hot as the old one.

Before anyone gets upset I am not writing this to say the refs cause the loss. MASE has a very good team and they deserved to win the game. My question is does anyone know if the substate refs are usually that lax in calling fouls. There seemed to be many times fouls should have been called on both teams that weren't. I realize that you don't want every little touch or push called but to be fair to shooters it seems a foul should be called if your arm or hand is hit when shooting. Is this the norm at substste to just let everything go. Just wanted everyone's opinion.

Congratulations Tigers. Great win! Tournaments are going to be exciting.

Who takes the second game?

Thoughts on who gets this win,

Keep it up Middleton Lady Tigers!! Showing why you are undefeated. We will be there tomorrow to support you if this keeps up.

You heard you didn't see. The calls were that way because Dresden couldn't keep up with our players and were hacking and reaching. They couldn't keep the ball long enough for us to foul them.

I am so tired of hearing how we need a new gym. We would love to have one and when any of you that complain can send money to our county to pay for it we will be glad to build one. Our girls fought hard tonight and using our gym and officials as an excuse is taking away from the talent and heart these girls give each game they play. Go Lady Tigers!!!

They beat Haywood County and Lausanne. Haywood is playing in substate in AA and Lausanne played in substate for Div. II. I guess Haywood doesn't count since they are from West Tennessee.

Who goes to Murfreesboro? Any ideas from someone who has seen both teams play?

Middleton won 81 to 65 over Carver.

Very proud for Coach Burkley and the Lady Tigers. Coach Burkley knows from experience how special it is to win this tournament. He won it when he played in high school for Middleton under Coach Day and now to have been able to win it as a Coach. He is a great coach and person. He has really brought the girl's basketball to a higher level at Middleton. Congratulations to Middleton.

I guess Middleton messed up the finals being two 7A schools. Go Lady Tigers!

They have three seniors, but they will still have Perry next year. She is a 6 ft. sophomore. She had to fill in for Faulkner when she went down and has done a great job. May not be as strong as this year but you never know.

I agree Middleton will not back down. Their Coach wouldn't allow them too. Wish all the teams good luck, but pulling for the Lady Tigers to get the win.
