Independence did not immediately advance to play Hillsboro following the district last year. A quick glance at their schedule from last season on here shows they played Brentwood and then Nolensville in the quarterfinals and semifinals of the regional tournament before playing Hillsboro.

Have no idea what you mean by a single district champ moved on to sub-state last year? Only the region winner and runner ups move on to sub state and it’s been that way for years.

I don’t know the rules on it for sure, but definitely unethical. If they frequently do that I’m amazed that other teams fans don’t just go stand in front of them constantly.

I would agree with him on the “boy” thing. The part about Harlan just makes him sound like an upset toddler though. The refs didn't give South Shore a fair whistle in my opinion, but the coach from Harlan choosing to be overly friendly with the refs when he sees another coach who is irate, is just smart coaching. South Shore isn’t 50 times better than Harlan in any world either. I saw them twice before the Arby’s. They played sloppy and undisciplined both times. I don’t think they beat Harlan even with a fair whistle. Closer game sure, but they didn’t execute and couldn’t make shots. That whole part makes taking anything else he said seriously difficult.

Congrats to Kell 2023 Arby’s Champion. A lot of fun games this year.

I’ll give you that. I saw the thing with Independence and I don’t think Noah intentionally fouled the kid either, he just went for the ball and got the arm instead. Then the walking off the court and not shaking hands doesn’t help the appearance for SS either.

Appreciate the break down I went to the bathroom between quarters and came back to the end of the technical involving the fan. Can’t blame the SS coach if he doesn’t wanna come back after this.

This crew sucks and I don’t care to say it. This is embarrassing for the area.

Start of OT Dorman player drove and finished, foul called. Idk what was said between coach and ref, it did look like the ref went over and warned him, I thought it was just about the being in the box but maybe it was that and the complaint. They line up at the free throw line and something was said and ref gives him a T. Ended up being a 5 point swing to start OT.

Man, OR coach must of been ready to go home. You just can’t put yourself in a position to get a technical right there.

What a game! That’s why you play to win instead of not to lose. Don’t get me wrong, I understand it, it’s within the rules here, but trying to hold the basketball for over 2 minutes of game time just stinks, and really shouldn’t be an option. Congrats to Mentor and hats off to GW they’re super impressive, Kritner was unreal.

He put up 37 against Oak Ridge in game one. Should be a step in competition up later today against Kell. Can’t wait to see it.

Dorman over SE Oak Ridge over Greeneville Independence over TN High Maryville over DB Mentor over GW Kell over Harlan County Jackson-Reed over South Shore Imhotep over Mater Lakes

Stuck around. It was almost unreal. It wasn’t like he was just attacking the rim and finishing. He just kept drilling deep shots, contested, falling down, didn’t matter. I kept thinking okay, he can’t keep this up and Maryville has enough cushion that when he cools off they can hang on. Nope, never happened, he just refused to be denied.
