The game will take place at the FedEx Forum in Memphis on Jan. 16 at 2:00 p.m for a Martin Luther King Jr. Tournament. Tickets will be $20.00 and will include a seat for the Grizzlies game later on that night.

 

Look for this to be a great and exciting game. Wayne Chism and Jeremy Williams will have a battle in the post. My prediction is Bolivar comes away with the victory 80-77.

btownballer07,

 

Newsflash: Chism is gonna have his hands full with BOTH Williams and Watkins, Hamilton's talented twin towers.

 

No doubt, Chism is a great player with lots of skill; it's his stamina that's gonna be severly tested vs. Hamilton. He's gonna have to expend more energy than usual on the defensive end of the court. This raises the key question: How will fatigue affect his offensive game?

 

Bolivar is a known commodity, statewide. It has a good coach and is a tested team, that has won plenty, plenty of big games... Hamilton is a big, fast, balanced and deep team, with loads of talent. While they an unknown commodity (statewide, anyway), Coaching is its only substantial weakness.

 

Caution: Do not underestimate Hamilton, btownballer. They are a bona-fide threat to win the AAA State Championship this year.

 

 

Prediction: Hamilton 81 Bolivar 73

Wayne had to guard Brandon Wright last week at the Arbys Classic and went most of the game and would have went 32 mins if he didnt get into foul trouble. Fatigue should not be that big of a problem for them. Im from east tenn and i havent had the opp. to see Hamilton (or Williams) so i dont know what they got. Bolivar is my fav team out west so ill pick them 74- 70. I would like to see it though might make the trip out there for the whole weekend.

Who else does Hamilton have besides the 2 big guys? Any guards that can stay with Willie just a little?

Another thing with the stamina issue is the fact that Hamilton is more of a run and gun team than Bolivar is. Hamilton can score 100 points easy. Also take in account that they will not be playing on a high school floor. I think that Hamilton is being underestimated on this post. They also have two D-1 players that are about 6-8 or 6-9.

no ones underestimated hamilton i know they're an excellent team. they're in the top 20 in the nation so its gonna be a tough test for bolivar but i still have to give my boys the win by less than 5.

What's up with Hamilton's guard play and what other high school teams are playing on that day?

Knowing Rick Rudesill, I doubt that he will underestimate Hamilton. That's just not in his way of thinking.

And I don't believe the guys on the floor will either.

 

Go Bolivar. I predict Bolivar wins. Of course I'm biased...but I beleive they will do it. In this type of game...I wouldn't even begin to guess a score.

Any info on where tickets can be purchased? Will the school be selling them?

no defense, and out man'd. Bolivar is no run and gun team so I really do not see them kind of points, and I really don't think they are out man'd. Bolivar will control the tempo of the game and make Hamilton play our still of ball and I think with that they will come out on top by3 pts. Hamilton is a good team and they will beat anyone that gets out there and play the type of ball that they want to play, but IF BOLIVAR can control that it's going to come down to the wire.

 

BOLIVAR IN A CLOSE ONE BY 3

    • A complete cultural change happened at Greeneville and the administration and community opened up their checkbooks.  What a lot of people don't know is Ballard was Zeller's OC for many years and stopped coaching for two years because Zeller and Ballard didn't see eye to eye on some things.  Zeller lead Greeneville to it's first ever Semi Final appearance in 2000 and lost 28-12 at Maryville and had them in the Quarter Finals in 2002 and 2003.  Z was a great coach but lost some control when it came to making workouts mandatory. (He learned from that Mistake and it was at LC when i coached with him.).  Z was let go going into my Senior Year and was replaced by Steve McCurry who was the one that turned the program around.  Steve had won a 4a state championship at AC Reynolds in Asheville and made the administration completely redo the weight room with new equipment, had a football period at the end of the school day to lift, started devil camp, and brought in coaches like Danny Bentley (Still the OL coach), Ballard as the OC, Cody Baugh (QB coach and still there), and even Spradlen who is Greeneville's head coach now as the DB's Coach.  McCurry only coached for two seasons at Greeneville and took a team that had a losing record the year before and finished my Senior Year making it to the Quarters and having a 10-3 record and then followed it up with a Semi Final appearance the next year with an 11-3 record and back to back conference championships.  Loved McCurry to death but the recession hit and the story i heard was he was still buying new equipment for the team that the Principal didn't authorize and his response was "I don't answer to you and only to Niswonger and Bewley" (Two huge donors).  That was it for him and they Promoted Ballard shortly after that.   Greeneville had always been relevant ever since the the late 70's under Coach Fred Sorrell's.  Since Sorrell's took over in 1977 Greeneville overall winning percentage is over 76%.  The biggest reason people might not have thought Greeneville was "Good" until Ballard was Greeneville always played up Classification wise and could never get over the hump. (When there were 3 classifications we played 3a, when it went to 5 we played 4a).  Greeneville is the largest its ever been with 953 students and where playing teams 2 or 3 times there size back in the day (I had a little over 800 kids in the school when i graduated in 2008).  Other teams always would know they would be sore after a game but depth took over and never won a Championship until Greeneville played in the classification the TSSAA actually assigned them. You had names like Dustin Moore (1993 Mr Football for 3a and who Phillip Fulmer said was one of the greatest athletes he ever recruited), James "Mud Turtle" Mayes, Brigham Lyons, Byron Gillespie, Frankie Debusk (National Champion Qb at Furman with GQ), Jasmine Lowery, Cody Baugh, The Greenway Brothers, Joe Watson (Furman), etc.  Now the cultural is from the Pee Wee league up and you grow up as a young kid wanting to wear the Greene and White.  Here is a really good link when it comes to anything Greeneville Football related. https://greenevillefootball.com/   I also don't coach anymore.  Z told me i was to smart with how the school systems are ran these days and ended up going into real estate in Knoxville which has been a great decision for my life.
    • Yes, they will. I'm wondering what kinds of strides Sale Creek will make heading into the second season under Coach Fitz.
    • No yellow stripes on the rug last night. Biggest crowd I’ve seen at 825 since the alco debacle. 
    • I know most Pirate starters were seniors last year. Im not sure how accurate it is but someone said we only have 3 seniors. That Prep team will probably make some noise this coming season too.
