QUOTE(toinemac @ Mar 1 2007 - 09:07 PM) 826396014[/snapback]out west im takin westside and middleton to win there games middleton has already beat humboldt this year and peabody i just dont think they will be able to play with westside

 

 

Humboldt also lost to UC twice this year by the scores of 13 and 18...They lost to Bradford by 23 and lost to Gibson Co. by around 20 also...Believe me when I say that this Humboldt team is completely different...They're capable of running with everyone still playing, they're the best post team left, and they've been to the state tourney the past two years so they're very experienced in these situations...Your glorified win over Humboldt at the beginning of the season was against a team without Chauncey Hunt, EJ Epperson, and Cordero Wade...That's two starters, and Humboldt's best three point threat...They also play defense much differently now and they make you work for a good shot...Beating UC, in my opinion, was the only thing keeping these guys from believing they could win it all...Now that they've done that, and with UC and LC out of the picture, the rest of the state now has to deal with a team with all the talent in the world and a very strong belief that they can win it all...Add to that the motivation of falling short of the state championship the past two years and you have a very dangerous team that is extremely capable of running the table..

Red, also Middleton played lights out that night in M-Town. I will say this though, I don't think the M-town big man played that night and that should help their case if he doesn't play lazy. I know how good of a team Humbolt has and on paper there is no doubt they should win expecially at home, but M-town has a tendency to show up in big games and with an aggressive style of offense that could pose problems for a bigger Humbolt team. IF M-towns guards and forwards shoot like they did when they beat Humbolt earlier in the season- Look for the same result. However ,I think with the home court advantage and slowing the tempo to play the post will ill effect M-town.

 

pick- Humbolt- 70

M-town - 65

I don't know much about the west tennessee teams and for that matter not a hole lot about east tennessee either. But I know its hard to walk into another team's gym and win. Pickett co. has never lost a substate game at home(9-0). I think Moore co. and Cloudland will be the only two road teams to win, and I don't necessarily think that if they do win that they will be upsets. My big interest is in the Westside/Trenton Peabody game, what are these two teams like, size, speed, and what not?

    • I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"
    • TSSAA will let them all go to Mase.
    • Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
    • I would not put too much stock into the UH over Eagleville. From what I understand they were pretty banged up in that tourney. Catcher was out, they were throwing pretty deep in their bullpen and a few key players were beat up in their infield. Sounds like they are pretty healthy heading into the district tournament. Look at their schedule, they played some really good teams.
