West is a very talented team..Hall is a great player and she has a solid Pg and 3 pt shooters to go with her. Very dangerous and difficult team to contented with. They also play really good defense. CCHS can beat West if they cut down on the turnovers, hit their easy shots beside the basket, and act like they know how to play offense without Buda or Alex trying to drive it in. CCHS has three solid post players who need to step it up if this team is going to make noise in the conference tournament and possibly the state tournament. West is going to beat CCHS a majority of the times because they are just simply more talented and athletic. IF CCHS executed we could beat them though.

Officiating is terrible in the IMAC. It's been bad in basically every game I've watched. Nothing is going to change about that apparently, so teams will just have to outplay the other team and the refs to make sure they win games.

Cocke County - 59

Grainger - 35

 

I did'nt attend the game tonight, listened to it on the radio. Im sure PTSportsWriter will be on later to add stat's & analysis.

I'm surprised, in a good way. /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

 

The overall talent in the IMAC has went to another level this year, as some of the teams have been competing with some of the state powerhouses. Seems like such a difference in just one year.

 

Are many of the kids involved in Summer Programs? If so which kids are with which programs?

What are everybody's thoughts on the games this Friday?

 

Morristown West hosts Greeneville

First time was exciting, down to the wire at Greeneville. This time, with the game at West, it's not as close. The Lady Trojans are playing terrific basketball right now, and Taylor Hall has stepped her game up since their only loss of the season. Nicole Dickson gets her points every time out, and Friday will be no exception. I just don't think that she has enough help on the road to get Greeneville a win. MoWest by 10.

 

Cherokee at Jefferson County

The Lady Chiefs are still struggling to find their identity with a young squad. JCHS has been a streaky team thus far, but Haley Nelson seems to be putting together a solid run going towards the tournament. Cherokee has struggled all season on the road, and the Lady Pats are tough at home. JCHS by 14.

 

Cocke County at East

The Lady Red rebounded from the home loss to West with a lopsided win at home over Grainger. East has to be the most difficult team to predict. With the game in Morristown, can East come up with enough magic like they have lately to win a game they probably shouldn't? I say no, but it will be close. CCHS by 7.

 

How does everybody else see these games turning out?

I'd have to go with West over Greeneville by a 5-12 range, Jeff over Cherokee, and CCHS over East. CCHS may play sloppy and just win by several points though.

[toughnut]

I'm going to go out on a real limb here and say West by at least 15. Everybody on the team has picked up their game and everybody wants to make a better showing than the last time.

 

Jeff over Cherokee and CCHS big over East.

West wins over Greeneville. Hall and Dickson will cancel each other's points out mostly, although I suspect Hall will score more.

 

The other four players will make the difference - and West has more offensive firepower.

 

Jefferson County over Cherokee.

 

Cocke County over East. Cocke County hasn't won at Isenberg-Siler since 2004-05 season however.

You didn't go out on that limb far enough! How about West by 33 over Greeneville--70 to 37. The officials had to put the mercy rule into effect the 4th qtr. I had never seen this done until tonight, the clock ran continuously the last 4 min. West absolutely outplayed Greeneville in every way possible. They led by 16 at the half. Dixon was held to 1 field goal, that coming in the first qtr. She also had 7 free throws. Taylor Hall had 21, Sidney Goins 18, and Megan Fanney 14. Fanney was the difference early as Greeneville had no answer for her. She drove time and time again to the basket. The pressure defense of the Lady Trojans caused many turnovers. Congratulations Lady Trojans on a great win!
