AAA Region Tournament

Recommended Posts

Talent in Tennessee is not evenly distributed. There are pockets of strength, and pockets of mediocrity. Thus, there will be districts where strong teams get eliminated, and districts where mediocre teams will advance. As play advances towards regionals, the same thing gets repeated. Some have the misfortune to be in lopsided regions, where it??™s unlikely teams from one side ever advance; others seem to have a cakewalk.

 

Is there any solution, maybe, maybe not. Maybe the answer is not just to measure success in the usual fashion (wins), but also in those intangible things that team sports try to teach -- working as a team, coming together, dealing with adversity, not giving up even in the face of insurmountable odds, losing with class and dignity, etc. Also, some teams can justly be proud of their accomplishments, especially those that work with little school support, few (if any) club players, etc. Success can also be measured in terms of beating that cross town rival, etc.

 

 

Great post. Very true

    • Im asking everyone to keep roy whited and his family in your prayers. Coach whited won back to back state championships at white county in 98-99. He is very well liked and respected in this area. For those of you that dont know he went missing 3 days ago. No one knows where he is. His truck was found in a rural part of the county. Thanks again. We are all very concerned. 
    • West would be a good team to get behind if they can pull it off again like last year. That championship game last year was awesome. 
    • I say that because he stepped out of a MUCH better situation on his own than he would see at least his first 3 years at DCA and it would take at least that much to bring him back to coaching. There are other fish in the sea, but again money talks. Need to fix the girls hoops too. Now I'll try again. Who has Pierce locked in for his staff? Hearing a McGavock man but not the Iceman.
    • I’ve heard mostly good things from the gridiron. Lots of optimism. It sounds like the portal has mostly helped, though there are a few expected defections. Comeback year!
    • Rudesell 1 year at Crockett. Coach Tate 2 weeks a Bradford. South Gibson supposedly going with jcs middle school coach. Which isn’t who I thought would get it, I know the top 2 was between him and Obion girls head coach.
