Region 5-AAA girls final has national poll implications

Posted on February 29, 2012 by Maurice Patton

 

Clarksville is one of five Tennessee girls basketball teams ranked in this week’s ESPN Fab 50 nationwide poll.

 

The Lady Wildcats, in fact, are the No. 7 team in the rankings — a spot behind Riverdale, but ahead of Science Hill (20), Memphis Overton (47) and defending Class AAA state champion Memphis Central (48).

 

Mt. Juliet is unranked, unmentioned and unlisted in said poll.

 

So Wednesday night’s Region 5-AAA championship clash between the two shouldn’t be much of a clash, right?

 

After all, Clarksville’s got five Division I signees, three of which are Southeastern Conference-bound — including Bashaara Graves, a Miss Basketball finalist who’s set to go to UT, and 3-point shooter Chandler Cooper, who will play at Florida.

 

Mt. Juliet counters with post Caya Williams, who has signed with Middle Tennessee State, and reserve post Barianne Taylor (UT-Martin).

 

But …

 

Don’t be surprised when the Lady Bears grab home court for Saturday’s Class AAA sectional round — and put highly ranked, highly touted Clarksville on the road — with a win tonight.

 

At 31-3, Mt. Juliet’s losses have been by 19 total points, twice to Riverdale (62-57 at home, 62-58 in Murfreesboro on Feb. 13) and to Science Hill on a neutral floor.

 

Clarksville, unbeaten at 34-0, hasn’t had a closer game than a 48-34 win over Hillsboro in December, and the Lady Wildcats opened the region tourney with a 59-35 win over Wilson Central before defeating Station Camp 66-27 in Monday’s semifinal.

 

Tonight will be a close game, and it’s tough for a team that hasn’t had the experience of those type situations to find itself in the middle of one — and to react favorably to such a setting.

 

Mt. Juliet 56, Clarksville 51.

 

And while it may be a national stunner, locally it won’t be nearly as surprising.

Looks like Clarksville handled the pressure pretty well...

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      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.
