Great analysis! Bolton, Bartlett and Cordova all beat Brighton this season. Arlington didn't have a game against Brighton. I truly believe it's going to be a battle regardless of who we play. All the teams are talented and well coached in my opinion. If we play our best basketball it will still be a tough task but I like our chances better when my team has been switched on me before jump ball. lol

Thank you. Indeed it's gonna be a battle in the region tournament. Very good coaches and teams.

Taélyr Gatlin of Brighton as of 2/6/17

18.6 PPG

5.0 APG

4.1 RPG

4.0 SPG

He was awarded, by a committee, two Most Outstanding Player awards this season in the Larry Ransom Classic and the Hotbed Classic. He currently maintains a 3.5 GPA on a 4.0 scale.

Taelyr Gatlin of Brighton High had an outstanding district game last night with 19 points, 13 Steals, 4 rebounds and 4 assists to lead his team to lock up 1st place in the district. This title has been owned for 11 straight years by Dyer County. He averages 17.1 points, 5.3 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 4.3 steals.

Conrad has unbelievable shooting range! Very accurate shooter from that far out! Their entire team shoots it deep though. Guards are super quick!!!

They are my favorite to win it all in A. Extremely talented and their coach's style of play is up in your face and running and gunning. Very fun to watch.

Great update! I saw Tim last week while visiting my brother and he is doing great! He wrote a book and has graduated with his Master's in sports management. He is currently a fireman (which he loves) and he goes around speaking to middle and high school kids. He plans to use his degree that he just earned but he loves being a fireman. Here is a link to his page with his book on it! He is in excellent shape too! https://www.facebook.com/TheBattleOffTheCourtTKCH/

@kwc Taelyr Gatlin had a good match up vs Brentwood and Garland. He had 25 against them after we had a very poor 1st half offensively. We took a 41-35 lead with about 2 min to play and then we went brain dead against their press and forgot how to run our press break. We shot terribly that day as a team missing about 15 free throws and several layups. Made a ton of young mistakes as a team and loss 48-41. Brentwood is too good of a team to make those mistakes and think u will win. Well coached and seasoned talent.

Exactly! I don't get caught up in that. I realized early that it's all political. A few of them deserve their ranking but a lot are ranked mostly on their size. Some of those kids can't play their way out of a wet paper bag but have 3 stars on their profile. Lol. Hopefully they won't continue to be set up for failure like that.

Good to hear from you too wingman! It's been a long time my friend.

Yep that's him. Time flies! Lol. Just wasn't in God's plan at the time but I do appreciate the offer then.

Naw it's a bunch of great players in west TN... Matt McMillian at Westview is another one of my favorites. He has more range than GE! Flat out scoring machine with a high IQ. It's another guard on their team that is a pretty nice shooter too.

It's a few on Dyersburg too that I can't remember their names right off.

In memphis, whew where do I start? Ryan Boyce at Houston. Mark Freeman at Southwind. Man I quit I'm gonna be here all day! Lol

TonyG I know... Just giving him grief... He shouldn't have checked my video editing skills lol. I know how long it was. He could have just said hey that was a nice pass he made or a nice dunk in transition towards the end lol. Also, thank you for the compliments. I'm a fan of both of those guys.

Simma down homeboy, I didn't say that. I laughed at your statement. Your observation in the 2 wins we had don't compare to the 200 plus games I've seen this kid play. You see how I did that? That's a jab... You basically did that. I have the utmost respect for your coach and what he is doing at Germantown and we have been helpful to each other since he has been here. I completely know what the standard 1 min or 4 min highlight reel looks like. If I wanted to I will make it 20 mins. I actually left a lot of stuff off. At the end of it all I'm just thankful that he is healthy and playing again after tearing his LCL his freshman year. Come watch us this season and I will put you on the pass list. Go cards.

Lol... You realize he led his team in assists right? Lol only passed it 10 times in 2 games? Gonna go watch those two games and get back with you on that. However, I did tell him to shoot it more. Maybe you should check out his highlight reel of him passing. It's probably on the second page of this blog under Brighton High's PG.

Who is we? What team was this?

Yes Parker is the real deal... Love that kid. Great attitude and well mannered too.

Taelyr Gatlin of Brighton led all scorers with 144 points in the 6 games at MUS. He was also tied for 2nd for three's made with 17 with Parker Stewart out of Union City. He also was on the leader board for assists, and was 1st in free throws made leading his team vs some good competition. Not bad considering he played 9 games that week.

It was also good to see Famous Jones at the top with 140 points from Ripley. He is one of my favorites to watch that doesn't get enough publicity.

Both Famous Jones of Ripley and Jordan Mosley of Dyersburg were tied for 3rd with 15 three's. These kids have worked on their games and deserve the recognition.

Yes sir just a sophomore coming off of an LCL tear he suffered 6 games in last year. No sir, Brighton is in west TN, near Memphis. Thanks!

Highlight reel from this season after coming back from an LCL tear last year.

Thanks Wingman!!! He is doing great!!! He has started back dunking yesterday...
