CLay is definately a top contender this year. Four returning senior starters and Garrett who is most likely to be District MVP. A 6 '3 senior trnsfer from Florida who seems to be fiting into the roation nicely, I had a chance to see them play at TTU their fast break game is excellant. With Garrett and the new kid running the court almost every play. Dale and Edwards are definately improved. Plus a great shooter wo didnt get a chance to play last year. They are definately district champs and well see from there. Good things to come!

First of all Clay is terrible! Edwards i just a slow chunky kid who shoots way too much it'd be different if he hit em but he dont. Garrett is just fast if you can stick your fastest player on him even if he cant play D Garrett is done. If Edwards gets hurt Garrettis done PERIOD. That new transfer is sorry too. He can dunk... and? thats it hes a twig, weakest player in the district. Garrett is the worst basketball player i've everhadthe chance to watch. i went to the TTU camp and watched them play 3 times, they didnt impress me at ALL. Pickett is picked to be the worst team in their district and they will probaly beat Clay. Don't buy into the transfer hype hes terrible. Eventhe waterboy is terrible I watched him trip over his own feet running from Coach E. They are not a contender

Looks like you two joined at the same time! /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> Clay Co. is the favorite to win 7A this year and Shawn Garrett is a very good player and a fine young man so lets quit downing these individual players ok? /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

Although I haven't seen these kids I will go along with 7AFANATICS5432 because devilfanatic has a strong tendency to overrate players from his region and underrate players from other regions. /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> But seriously, I would want to see for myself before I took devifantics word on any player evaluation. I guess there is a slim chance he could be right./thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

I have chosen to edit my prior post and just say that I am not sure how Clay Co. will do this year, but i will consult my sources over there (Bobby W.) and i'm sure he will tell me how bad its going to be for us when we come to Celina this year! /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

i think they will be solid

 

you are correct they are a solid favorite especially early on in 7a the garrett kid is the real deal he's been young in the past but you can see the talent and he will mature and make you doubters believers WATCH out for the bulldogs especially is this district

Clay should be the best team in 7a, they are the oldest team in 7a. Garrett is one of the best players in 7a, no doubt, he is really good. But Upchurch should win district MVP, but he probably won't because some out there in 7a, think that district MVP should go to the best player on the best team. And we all saw that it was crazy two years ago for Cassetty to beat out Jacob Wright. Sure Jackson Co. had the best regular season, and they were rewarded by being the Tri-Lakes Conference Champions. Just because your the best team should have nothing to do with individual awards. I think it should in the 1st team all district, 2nd team all district and so forth, but not MVP. If your the best player in 7a, and you have the best numbers, then you should win MVP. Because you can be the greatest player in the state, and if you have no help then there is no way you can win district. Listen, most of the time the coaches get it right (other than two years ago) and if Garrett has better numbers than Upchurch, then he deserves the MVP, but if he doesn't, then no matter what Upchurch's team does, he should win MVP. Good luck to both.

    • Worst thing SC could do is get rid of Dyer. I agree with everything said above.
    • Jada Hart, Jasmine Bailey and Kaitlyn Patterson the first two being PG's are all good guards and can handle ball pressure and are good players. Raven Wells will be a good post. There were games this summer where any one of the one's I mentioned were in double figures. Gibson County will control TO's much better this year and they will press more and get back to playing faster. AA is down across the board. I have been all over watching ball. Alcoa jumped to AAA and Jackson County moved down. to A. No telling who wins it this year. I agree Union City, Westview and Gibson County will be a dogfight and must see basketball. Poster insuated that Gibson County has a mental block against Westview. Well give me Maddie Gray and we line up last year and they wouldn't have won a game. Let's see how Westview does this year. Their starting five last year had three transfers in it. Rogers from Obion, Trevathon from Greenfield and Gray from South Fulton. Looks like they swung and missed with the girl from Florida this year so let's see how they do playing with kids from Westview. Gibson County has a really good 7th grade class this year.I have done learned you play with what you got and work them hard and develop them and see what happens. Just keep battling and see what happens. I like our team this year. Very athletic. Every year is the same with injuries and can be catistrophic to any. I watched GC all summer long. South Side and GC was very evenly matched and was a classic war.We had some quality wins this summer. Beat Huntingdon, Henry County, Bowling Green, Liitle Rock Central as well as a couple other quality Kentucky Teams. Westview's talent pool may not be what it has been without transfers the next few. And as far as Wilkins riding off into the sunset, where do y'all seem to think he will leave?? Wilkins is a healthy dude and he loves basketball and loves coaching. I wouldn't be suprised if he coaches a few more years. He loves the game and loves every minute of coaching.   
    • I think Gibson County is a top five team this next season but I do agree they will drop off a lot after this year.  Westview lost a ton and will be down this season and hopes of returning to glass house again is slim.  The run they have had is super impressive!
    • My take on GC for this year: Based on what I saw last year and heard this summer, I’m not sure GC could surprise me next year with any outcome. Wilkins is a great coach - they could win the district and region and go to Murfreesboro. They could also come in third in the district and not get out of region. The two returning starters are very talented but Guru is right that they didn’t always play hard last year. The other three starters are good enough in their roles for GC to be successful. There is no depth. Foul trouble could be a problem - Wilkins may avoid it by playing a lot of zone. An injury would be catastrophic. I hope they have a big year and Wilkins rides off into the sunset in Murfreesboro because, without some significant transfers, there are some tough years coming in the next few.
    • Daniel Boone coming down to 3A makes this much tougher. They added a couple transfers to the Flores girl. Cocke Co, Northview, Greeneville, and Daniel Boone - only two headed to Murfreesboro.
