04-05 Season was the last time. And before that...It would be sometime in the 90's because from 98-99 to 03-04. Jackson County won it all 4 times and LA won it all twice.

 

We will be back.

Sorry for the tough losses!! Congrats Cannon and Upperman on a great season. 8aa refs can take alot of the blame for Uppermans demise. They let the lady bees get away with reaching, moving screens, and heaven forbid them call a foul on Dyer! These young ladys get acustomed to that style of play, then get a curve thrown when the calls are made. Hearld Citizen reported today that the fouls were 22 to 2, in favor of Polk 17 of 19 free throws made, and it reported that it was odd for a team that normally doesnt have foul trouble.(thanks again to 8aa refs)!! Two times this year the fouls were that lop sided in LA/Upperman games in favor of Upperman(the two they won) Cannon and Upperman had very good teams and made a good run, the seniors will be missed by all our district!! Hopefuly we will have a fair competitive district next year and send two teams to the borro!!

The article also mentioned 11 of Polk's FT came in the last half of the fourth quarter. Up until then they'd had 8 attempts by no means out of the ordinary.

 

I agree on the moving screens, the bad thing is in the region games you're supposed to see referees from outside the immediate area and they still weren't called.

The article in the Herald-Citizen is obsurd. Ridiculous. But anyway, congrats to 3AA on their wins. I thought that Cannon County played really well, but when Taylor King fouled out things went away for them. She is a PLAYER, and I love watching her play. For Upperman, I'm glad to see Dyer had a good offensive output, finally. I hate that she didn't see more of the ball all year, but when she got the looks she needed, she made them. Great player that seemed to be undervalued. Onto boys action and AAU for me. Good luck.

 

BTW: Polk isn't weak. McMinn is not what they were, but they win. Good luck, but the champions are still the champions until someone proves otherwise, GIBSON COUNTY.
