Class A State Tournament

[swanson71]

I've been a little out of the loop this year, which is why I've been a bit quieter than usual, but I've still done my best to keep up with the teams in the area. Of the 16 teams in the AA and A tournament 5 are from around here in this area: Macon County, Jackson County, Clarkrange, Cannon County, and Livingston. There's not better basketball played than that around here in upper cumberland area. I'm hoping I make it down to be able to support Lafayette at some point in the tournament. As far as they A bracket goes I don't like Clarkrange coming out of that side, I believe it'll either be UC or Stown. If JC comes to play they should cruise to their second straight championship game. Good luck and I hope to see an all 7a championship again this year.

thats what i'm saying this game will be won or lost by the guards.Man you seem to not like anything i say,remember were on the same side.Quit trying to drop all this knowledge (more to the game than who scores the most)i'm pretty sure that who scores the most wins.

To be honest, I don't like you. You're a drama queen. Its best if you don't reply to me.

At least they still playing.Lol

Does Jackson County still have Hensley, the big post from last year?

 

As for Summertown v Clarkrange-if we come out flat against Crange like we did in the first quarter against Nashville Christian I cant see us recovering. Clarkrange is just too good to recover like we did Saturday night. If we come out focused, it is going to be a battle. One concern I have is we are relatively young despite having 2 senior starters signed with Trevecca. We have 2 freshmen that get quite alot of playing time and a 3rd that has also seen alot. They cant be afraid of the moment. If they handle it well, I think we win. One good story out of Summertown is of the Sanders girl-Stowneagle, if you can you can explain that. I would love to see here get in the game and score-that would definitely be a special moment for her and our fans.

Yes Makenzie Hensley is a senior this year.

It seemed to me that against Clay in the finals last year she got winded a bit....not criticizing her because I think she is a force in the middle, only observing that if a team can gert out and run could it be a weakness?

[bob77]

Makenzie did not have a good championship game last year, that is true. When Clay jumped out to the big lead it kind of tool her out of the game. That was last year... Hensley and Coe are both much improved this year. With the addition of a couple of super freshman, JC has a stronger bench, and Makenzie doesn't have to play every second of the game like she had the past two seasons.

Looks like Clarkrange has a tough road to the championship game but they have a great coach and lots of talent and have won it more than any other A team. jackson is looking to tie them with their 8th state championship (both in A and AA) Good luck to both our 7A teams!

I thought the last 2 years JC didn't play as well as they had leading up the state tournament...
