While attending the Goodpasture versus Mitchell game, I was sitting next to a fan that was very upset because Mitchell was holding the ball, (smart coaching By Mitchell) he stated and I quote: Mitchell is scared, we are a small school this is our first year in AA we were A last year, if they are so good why are they holding the ball? (not so smart coaching by Goodpasture). This raises a good question. Are classifications overrated?
Over the last four years AA is the stronger class by far. I could use the same excuse as stated above for Humboldt or Grace Baptist, Humboldt was in the same district with Bolivar and Liberty last year, which happens to be a very strong district. Humboldt beat Liberty in the district tournament last year, but they dropped to A this year and for the exception of two players it was the same team, which happens to be very talented. Grace Baptist played a better game. Liberty defeated Raleigh Egypt, Woodale and Fairley all AAA schools. Fairley also defeated Mitchell (go figure). Union City A defeated a very good Haywood team AA. Any strong AA team could be AAA state champions. Bottom line is this(Goodpasture fan) stop crying and play basketball.
