Congrats to Ricky Norris and his Oak Ridge team. I think the turnover that lead to the go ahead lay up was probally the play of the game. Even after Jackson back to back 3's OR was still up 2, then came the turnover.

I believe Dowdell should have called timeout.

However, great game and good luck to all players. The East can play with the West.

My hat is also tipped to Joe Jackson. A Sophmore? UT better come callin'

Great poise down the stretch to hit back to back 3's and nail his free throws at the end.

This probally was the Championship game played in the 1st round..........

 

How well did Hall play for WS

BigBoi20,

 

I think that you're being WAAAAAY to presumptious!

 

What about the other 6 teams--what makes you so sure that WS and OR are better than them, as your statement implies?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Sure, I'm pulling for WS and Ridgeway (I know nothing about the remaining other 5 teams); but I'm not so sure that WS (and Oak Ridge) is the best team left in the tournament. Afterall, Ridgeway did actually beat White Station 3 strait times, this season. In addition, I seem to recall that Antioch defeated WS as well... These 2 facts alone, give me reason to pause, before crowning OR and WS as the two best teams in the AAA tournament.

 

There's a lot of basketball to be played. No outcome is gonna surprise me-- because I honestly do not think that there is ONE dominant team (at least, on PAPER). I can tell you for a FACT that White Station and Ridgeway are both solid teams (Ridgeway being slightly better, IMO), yet NEITHER is dominant.

My observations:

 

White Station:

Jackson is the real deal, very good player.

Hall is overrated. He is not 6-8. However, he is very athletic.

 

Oak Ridge:

Jared Stephens is highly underrated. Jackson not all that much better.

Quinche Dowdell played better than Hall. Not saying that he is better, but he played better today. His foul trouble really hurt.

Demarcus Rogers stepped up huge.

 

Congrats to O.R. on a great season they have a lot to be proud of. White Station will have to play better to win.

 

 

P.S. Tyler Clark is a really nice guy.

I am not a Hall fan at all. If he is not 6'8" then, Shaq must not be 7'....Did you stan beside the young man. I refereed to games of their JV when he was ineligible and he is 4 to 5 inches taller than me and I am over 6'4",

 

I agree he may be overrated but he is solid...

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
