GLEASON VS JACKSON COUNTY!

[goo goo cluster]

QUOTE(Greenfieldfan @ Mar 8 2007 - 12:45 PM) 826404585[/snapback]Gleason will have the best player on the floor in Kayla and they also play the best defense of any team in the state. Gleason wont be outcoached in any game, not even against Jackson County. Gleason will not beat themselves and if they get a lead in the 4th quarter the game is over. Good luck to Gleason, bring Weakley County back home a Gold Ball.

I assure you Coaching is a huge advantage for Jackson Co. Gleason seems to have more talent. I expect this to be a really good game. It's a tossup but I am for the Lady Blue Devils.

I can assure you that Randy Frazier can coach with anybody in the state.

If you look at the stats, we have other players that can score. Gleason has one player(20) that is talented. Shut her down, gleason will go home.

haha Shut her down? good luck

This could be the best single A game of the week.

[SemperFi10]

Agreed, this should be a great game.

 

Looks like Jackson County is going to have their hands full tomorrow. Gleason finished the regular season ranked #2 in the AP poll, #1 on CoachT.com. Their record is an impressive 34-1, the only loss being in their district tournament semifinal to Lake County, a team they had already swept in the regular season. They went on to avenge that loss with a win over Lake County in the Region championship. Jackson County has a record of 22-15, easily the worst of any team, Boys or Girls, that made it to the 'Boro this year. They were unranked in the AP poll, and CoachT.com has them ranked as the 16th best single A team. In a pick the winners poll on CoachT.com poll 89% of the participants are picking Gleason to win tomorrow's semifinal game.

 

Looks bad for the Lady Blue Devils, right?

 

Here's what that 11% know......

 

5 of Jackson County's 15 losses were against Livingston and Upperman, easily the best two AA teams in the state (both still alive and headed towards a showdown in the AA final) 2 losses were against AAA rival Cookeville, 1 was to fellow district powerhouse and state tourney team Clarkrange, and 5 were district losses in 7-A, arguably the toughest in the state. Their only other loss was by 2 points to a good Moore County team from 11-A. In a CoachT.com strength of schedule poll, which ranks teams according to the combined winning percentage of their opponents, guess who has the #1 ranking?..........Jackson County. Guess what ranking Gleason has in that same poll?.......65th. Guess what Jim Brown's overall state tournament record is?........17-2. That's right, 17 wins and 2 losses. That's a Murfreesboro winning percentage of 89%. Would you want to be coaching against him? Jackson county lost in the finals last year, (by one point, no less) Do you think those same girls who played last year and lost by one point want to win it, and win it bad this year? Last time the year after Jackson county lost in the finals, they went on to hoist 4 straight gold balls.

I wish this were the state final....good luck to both squads!

 

The man with 4 gold balls versus the man with 2 gold balls!

[coach15]

Excellent post SemperFi10...everyone in the Upper Cumberland knows as long as Jim Brown has 5 players, that team is dangerous.

Since we're talkin about coaches, tell me what all these names have in common:

 

Red Auerbach (.662)

Pat Riley (.703)

Bobby Knight (.712)

Dean Smith (.733)

Mike Krkyzewki(.742)

Pat Summit (.837)

 

The correct answer is: All of these people have lower career winning percentages than Gleason's coach Randy Frazier (.845) 568-104 over 20 years. He might know a thing or two.

[coach15]

I do not know Coach Frazier, he has an impressive record, but you cannot compare is winning percentage to those of college and pro coaches.

[samah]

I was just using the names of some well known coaches in the history of basketball to illustrate how dominant Coach Frazier has been at his level of competion.

[coach15]

There is no doubt that Coach Frazier has directed a great at Gleason.
