Makenzie Hensley sets TSSAA record

Teams like Lee and Cumberland could put it to quite a few Division I, NCAA teams. Lee played OVC runner up Tennessee Tech even in an exhibition and for a half, hung with Chattanooga. In women's basketball especially the division often doesn't mean a lot when it comes to a player's ability. When you start comparing to the Baylors and Tennessee's now there is a clear difference, before anyone mentions those type teams, but not so much in a lot of the mid major types.

Agreed!

I agree, major D-1 is a totally different ball game. As good as the Upper Cumberland girls basketball has been over the years, I can only think of two players that I think COULD have played at that level that I saw. Upperman's Emily Christian and Jackson County's Andrea Davidson. They ended playing at Tn Tech and UNC Charlotte respectively. Beyond that level, I agree, it really does not matter. As long as you are happy with where you end up, that is all that matters.

LA's Beechboard could be included on that list.---- I agree, the education and self satisfaction is what it's all about. I don't think anyone has to worry about this young lady, she'll do well with whichever choice she makes!

I could care less who is after this young lady. Just let the facts speak for themselves. 65.1% career field goal percentage for her entire career. If I read it correctly, that is 5th nationally all-time, not just this year. Wow, congrats to Bob77 on this young ladies outstanding career. I wish her well at the next level. Don't understand how anyone could take this thread and put any negativity into it. Again, Congrats to this outstanding young lady! That is my 2 cents from 5AA. Go Chargerettes.

I think if your gonna add Beechboard, you would need to add Marissa Hensley from Jackson Co (makenzie's older sister) She had some major programs looking at her before she chose Tech. They had similar stats, and had some great battles against each other.

 

As for negativity, you would have to ask sportslover88 about that. Seems like a jealous Westview fan that still isn't over the fact that we beat Westview in the state finals about 10 years ago. I'm over it though.

Darn, I'm still mad at Westview from 1996, when they beat LA from the free throw line with no time left on the clock! I don't happen to agree with 'sportslover88' but he is entitled to his opinion. It may be hard for you to believe, but everyone is not jealous of Jackson Co.

I never said everyone was. I just looked at his past posts and noticed he talked about Westview. Just trying to come up with a reason for why he would come on a post congratulating my little sister for setting a state record, and talk about why he thinks she was not a D-1 player. Honestly at this point I could care less. I just did not like the way he choose to put down the young lady the way he did. It was uncalled for. But just go ahead and pile on.

All of this garbage makes me not want my children to play sports at the high school level. Good or bad, the kids play the game and NO ONE has the right to say ANYTHING about them. Suck it up, let go of your past, and let these kids play without making them feel bad about some post where you hide behind your screen name. I KNOW that you would not say these things about her to MY face so dont try to say them behind a screen name either. You know exactly who i am talking about (Sportslover88).

Good post owl25!

 

Why anyone would come on this thread and talk like that about Makenzie is beyond me. Congrats to Makenzie for being named First Team All UpperCumberland today.

 

On another note who came up with the Class A TSWA All state team? How was Makenzie not one of the top 13 players in Class A? She made the team last year, and her stats were better across the board this year. Just baffled by that. Thought the Reedy girl from Union City and the two sophomores from Clarkrange got robbed two. Just a surprising all state team.

    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say ..
