excellent tournament

excellent tournament

 

It definately sets up another Obion Co./Westview showdown in the finals. There will be some good boys teams in this tournament as well.

This is always an excellent, well-run tournament. I always try to come up for at least one day of tournament play. I will probably come up on Wednesday, that way I can watch Obion and Westview in the Championship Game (major shocker if they don't meet up on Wednesday).

ptguard12,

Looking forward to your Class A rankings. Are you planning to do that again this year?

not surprised by the Westview vs Obion Co final at 7pm tomorrow, but surprised by the point differentials

 

Westview will be anxious to redeem the 25 point defeat to Obion Co last week in what amounts to a non-district game between district opponents - I look for it to be a nail-biter as our girls will not let down on their home court

 

I am away for the holidays so can't comment on how the Lions Club games went but just going by scores mustve been impressive:

 

Westview smokes last year's Class A silver-ball winner Madison by 30 (Madison have a bad night? - Westview starting to prepare for another state tourney run? - and/or is the A to AA talent gap simply getting larger?)

 

Obion beats a 10-2 triple-A team Dyer Co. by 34 (Coaching change at Dyer Co not what people thought i.e. DC girls glad to be in AAA where their record looks better than they really are? - and/or Obion continuing to put up Gibson-County-like margin-of-victory streak over good teams since Gibson loss a sign of steady improvement?

 

also, Liberty over single-A state qualifier Lake Co and AAA powerhouse Northside this week (Liberty or Bolivar or another 14AA team ready to upset the 13AA apple cart in region play?)

 

and we haven't even mentioned the unparalleled Lady Pioneers who are a step (or three) above these teams

 

shouldn't be any doubt that double-A basketball is still king in West TN

I went to the Dyersburg tournament today. I must admit, Liberty is playing some good basketball right now. I really thought North Side would beat Liberty by about 10 points, but Liberty pulled it out in the end. Bolivar and Liberty are both very dangerous teams for any of the 13AA teams. Those 2 14AA schools have something that the 13AA schools don't have and that's athleticism in the 1-5 spots on the floor!

Westview defeated Obion Co. tonight to win the championship! I believe the final score was 65-64, Westview! Congrats to Westview!

Good Job Chargers and Lady Chargers!!!

I agree totally - when the Northside game began I thought they would win but that didn't happen.

I also agree with the athleticism of the 14AA schools. However, I thought there was no way Poplar Bluff or Dyersburg could have defended the Liberty inside game to win the championship of the tournament but PBluff won by 5 or so. Didn't see the championship game so I don't know how either team played, but if Poplar Bluff defeated Liberty - it makes me think the 13AA teams should be able to do it also. Haven't seen Bolivar play, so I don't know about them. Should be a great region tourney!!
