This game is a true SHOCKER! :thumb:

 

ALL WEST TN FINAL!!!!

 

Two Great teams battling it out for the championship.

 

I think Melrose has too much talent overall, but its hard to go against Joe Jackson!!!!

 

I'm pulling for White Station even though I think Melrose will win, but the underdog has taken over in College Basketball this year so anything can happen!!!!

 

 

Shocker?!?!?! Everyone knows that the best basketball in the state comes from Memphis and that's been going on for decades!!! In last year's championship my Pharaohs lost (not on their own but due to the striped shirts) to the Spartans. Where have you been at??? I hope those refs don't take this one away from Melrose too! They outplayed them up to this point and don't need to get involved like they did Raleigh-Egypt last year. But, when White Station plays for the title they'll do anything to get them the ring.

Sarcasm! Did you not see the :?:? I have been watching Memphis and West TN ball for years... I already know! You don't need to take what I say so seriously! Everyone else knew I wasn't being serious with the shocker statement. :lol:

Oh, well, didn't see that as sarcasm, my bad then dude! You know how some country folks like to deny that we have the best basketball.

Rucker does have a broken ankle. So he is definitely out for the championship game. The rest of the guys will have to pick up the slack. 6'9"sophomore Darius Moore can be a big boost if he can give some quality minutes. The White Station Bigs really stepped up in the semi-finals. Melrose can't let them get off like that.

 

If Wilkerson is out, Melrose gets a little smaller but can replace him in the starting lineup with McAfee.

 

Each of the previous games these teams have played have had different identities. One thing for sure is that the guys will leave it all on the floor. I'm pulling for my golden Wildcats to circle the wagons and bring the gold ball back to Orange Mound!

 

Ok....

 

After having thought about Melrose's injury situation -- especially the one to its most IMPORTANT player, Rucker-- I'm still gonna have to pick Melrose to defeat White Station for the AAA State Championship.

 

I agree with you, OMW.

 

Melrose's depth will be just enough to enable them to sufficiently off-set the loss of its physical big man, Rucker. Coach JJ will definitely need to play the 6'-9" Sophomore extended minutes, however. While he may be "green" offensively, his mere presence in the post will help Melrose significantly on the boards and defensively. This is where Adonis' post game will have to be utilized more frequently, IMO.

 

Adjustments are guaranteed to be the order of the day, for Melrose.

 

As many of you know....all season long, I've maintained that Melrose was around 8 to 13 points or so better better than White Station (despite Melrose's historic collapse in its February 2nd loss to White Station). Well, my position was predicated upon a full-strength Melrose team.

 

Melrose will NOT be full strength tonight. While that's relatively good news for White Station, it still won't change the net result:

--------------------------------------

 

Melrose by 3 to 7 points over White Station.

I honestly don't know what to say. Without Rucker Melrose has a problem. U just hate it for the kid. He proved and got the respect he deserved as one of the best big men in Tn. To most coaches he is a Joey Dorsey type player. He is the most important player on this team as someone else. Stated. That being said the most important player tonight is Adonis Thomas. If u going to be the man he has to be the man. Hollimon got to shoot better. Hopefully Jones is in that zone. Dang what a nightmare situation. Let's go Golden Wildcats

      And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

      Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

      Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.

      After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.

      Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
