District 8AA

[springhollar]

Murfreesboro Central Magnet will be playing in District 8AA next year. This year as a new school they are playing as a JV team. The girls team already has some impressive wins like an overtime win against Murfreesboro Riverdale JV, and an overtime win against a quality Alcorn, Mississipi Team in Alcorn Central's Christmas Tourny. I know the parents players and Coaches are looking forward to playing and competing in such a quality District with teams like York Institute, Cannon County, Smith County, Upperman, DeKalb County, and Livingston Academy. I also know that we are going to be taking our lumps as a new School in a district known for great girls basketball for awhile. We are mostly 8th graders playing up and several freshmen and only two sophmores. MCM's record is currently 4-11 with most of the losses against Varsity Teams. One of our sophmores played varsity last year so she can only play in the scheduled JV games this year. The team is 4 and 1 in those games. I wanted to start a thread to get some discussion going as we are in our inagural season and the excitement of making the leap into the Region 4, 8AA powerhouse. Good luck Central Magnet Lady Tigers and congratulations on some early success.

Tough district...you are guaranteed to improve as a ball team playing in 8AA

They were not bad. They'd already be favored to beat several Class A, a couple of Class AA teams around the Chattanooga area, where the competition is not as strong on the average. A couple could shoot and they rebound hard though they don't have a lot of height at least this year. They had a good following at their game Saturday, impressive since it was a 2-hour drive to watch them play a jv team (Sequatchie's).

 

Getting their results out there is a wise move, even if it's against jv opponents, since they will be competing against the Murfreesboro Class AAA teams for talent.

Thanks for the last post! Now here is the bad with the good from last nights game, and the last non JV game for us this season. Claudia Smith (eighth grader) actually had seven points, and our Sophmore Ashley Brewer was not allowed to play varsity (TSSAA Rule.)We play Cannon County JV tonight at Central Magnet.

 

From the Daily News Journal:

 

LA VERGNE 43, CENTRAL MAGNET 23

Three La Vergne players finished in double figures to lead the Lady Wolverines to the win. Marissa Brimm scored 13, Asia Shelton had 12 and Alex Swope tallied 10.

Claudia Smith led Central Magnet with five.
