9AA Tournament

Recommended Posts

The regular season is over, it is all about the tournament. I thought a new thread (instead of scrolling through 11 pages of posts from as far back as November) will be helpful to all the 9AA contingency.

 

I have not seen the brackets, but feel the top four seeds will go on to region. How they fall out in the top four will be interesting. Any of these teams can beat each other on any night...

 

CPA's wins over DL were by 3 or less.

 

FRA beat and and lost to DL

 

Hume-Fogg can beat anyone on a given night.

 

I think the darkhorses in the bottom of the bracket are East Lit and MLK. I know that FRA is glad they aren't facing MLK first round!

 

Ezell can still pull out a miracle if Earps and Eakes shoot the lights out of it, but FRA's defense will be just too much for them.

 

It all starts Monday night. I cannot wait to read everyone's perspectives on the games, players, coaching, and refs.

The Ezell-Harding Lady Eagles played well last night against MLK. They will have the opportunity to put the regular season behing them and start fresh next week in the district tournament. These girls have the potential to move on to the region tournament if they play to their potential. Eakes is an amazing player with a lot of heart! If the girls can play as a team the Lady Eagles should be able to beat FRA. FRA is well-coached and this gives them an advantage, but good solid team play by Ezell will give them the win.

I hope you are right! If Ezell wins tonight, they will have a pretty nice advantage with the semi's and finals on their home court. Good luck.

Congrats to Ezell on a great win. Callie Bobo stepped up and scored 11 pts. This was a player that was hurt when they played at FRA. I think this is a team that could be very dangerous playing the district tournament at home.

Did anyone see what happened in the FRA game? I am very suprised that EZ could beat them at home. I looked for them to go a good way into the tournament.

Ezell had a very good game. There were two main problems for FRA. First, they missed (my count) 8 layups. Second Ezell went to the line 27 times and made 23. FRA went 8 and made 4. Eight of Ezells freethrows were in the last minute, each time except the last, FRA (Wyatt) responded with a quick basket to keep it at two down.

 

Good luck to Ezell. Congratulations to FRA on a great season (22-6). No one likes one and done but 9AA is known for an upset or two in the first round.

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
