1 State Championship for McMinn Central

[bigbearsfan]

Of course, that is more than Tellico has, and I wish we had the one championship. But why don't they have multiple championships like other power houses over the last 15 years? (Livingston, Jackson County, etc,,)? Honestly, I thought the teams from 97 - 00 were probably some of Central's best teams. That was when they started their dynasty.

 

This is not to knock anyone, but it is something that a lot of people notice.

Agreed..... Probably one of less talented teams out of all those years is the team that won it all.

I am from Gibson County and we had some undefeated, great basketball teams that for some reason couldn't put three games together for years in M'boro until 2009 and 2010. We played Central for the title in 2010 and we were very fortunate to win that game. AA is tough. 1 Gold and how many Silvers? 2 or 3. Not to bad. And there almost every year. Central is not through either.

I think you answered your question in your orgional post. They have had to play the powerhouses of LA, JC, CC, Upperman.GC. And several of those time have been just to get into the tourny and usually have to face another of the mentioned teams once there. Central is either in the substate or state tourny about every year. I would be willing to bet they have won far more state tournement games than they have lost. They just cant seam to get a break in that last game and win the big one. And as a LA fan i'm not sure why I keep defending them, I must be losing my sanity.

I believe it's because the Chargerettes are rarely battle tested during the season. LA, Cannon, Gibson,CPA etc....are all tested during season, districts and regions. It makes them tough, both mentally and physically. Chargerettes have 0 competition in District 5AA and Region 3AA. Sequoyah, Polk, Meigs, Sweetwater, and Chattanooga teams are usually terrible year in and year out (there have been some exceptions though). Knox Webb, Alcoa and McMinn may have been the only time CHS has "battled" this season. Girl's basketball is down and has been down in our area. (For OP:Tellico used to be great but have dropped off to getting beat every year by 1A schools in tournaments. Question should be: What happened to Tellico Girls Basketball that used to compete in AA?)

 

I just believe these other power house schools are tested all season. McMinn Central is not tested until sub-state. jmo

I would love to see a home and home game between Jackson County and McMinn Central as it would be a great test and character builder for both teams during the season. Jackson County has played 3 of the 8 teams in the AA state tournament and has beaten them all and split with LA. I think if MC came up to the Upper Cumberland and played some teams up here it would help everyone and there would be some great games for us fans to watch!

Agree 100%, This would be beneficial for both teams and the fans. Win or lose, Central needs to schedule more teams from that area

Chargerettes have 1 Gold and 3 Silvers since the mid-90's. 2 silvers and the gold have come within the last 10 years. On at least two occasions, they played in a 1st round game that pitted the #1 v #2 ranked team.

 

With that said, the year we won the gold we played in a holiday tournament at Cannon County, and another one at Macon County.

1 is better than none. And I guarantee that not one of those crazy fans in that little round house would trade any of their girls or their coach for another title.
