Congrats to the Lady WildCats, that was a great game. Real Champions win those kind of games, and you deserve all the recognition you are about to receive.

 

I enjoyed all three games, all 6 teams played like champions, I can see why each team was there.

I salute Wilson Central on winning the State Championship.

 

I know from experience that this will be a memory you will NEVER forget.

 

My beloved Lady Bears had the Wildcats on the ropes in the Region semis but Central found a way to come back.

 

Its amazing how close Central came to not even getting to the Region Tournament when Gallatin was seconds away from knocking off the Lady Wildcats in the first round of the District Tournament playing on Central's home court.

 

Like I've always said.... You need a little luck sometimes to win a Championship.

 

No question Wilson Central will be the favorite to repeat next season.

Never have been a proponent of the shot clock for high school, but the last two games were snoozers! It looked like teams were playing not to lose rather than playing to win. The AAA game reminded me of an old Chuck Wepner boxing match, slow, plodding and boring. Neither team seemingly ran their offense consistently, I assume the defenses had something to do with it, plus you had two teams that play half-court sets. By the way, for my money, (And I think Tierney Jenkins is one of the sweetest girls around and a great player), Cameron Calhoun would have received my vote for MVP. She was the glue that held Wilson Central together and really the only guard they had to step up. Great job! Glad the Gold Ball stays in Wilson County and specifically District 9 where it belongs!

Any update on the new Lebanon coach?

Congratulations to Bud and his first state championship. With a young team, I possibly see a couple more out there for him. A great job of coaching a great group of girls.

 

Way to go Southside (feeder school out of Lebanon). The Lady Saints jr. high team was represented well on the Lady Wildcats team with 2 starters (Cameryn Calhoun and Jenny Hall) and several other key contributors (including Lauren Farmer and Elizabeth Martin.)
