Clarkrange comes to Jackson Co on Friday for round 1

[UCSportsFan]

Well we've been waiting a little while on this match up of these two perennial Class A powers and come Friday night we will see how these two teams are going to match up against each other this year. Should be a great game and a great atmosphere for a high school ball game. I've got Jackson County winning at home by 7. I know thats a real shocker to everyone !!!

Jim brown and Lamar Rogers are possibly the two best coaches in the state. I'm sure it will be a great battle. JC can shoot the lights out in their gym. Good luck to both teams.

I'll go JC by 3. This one is a tough one to call, so I would imagine that everyone there is in for a treat.

The top 2 Class A teams in the state go head to head tonight, should be a great game. I don't care what the polls say these two teams have won a combined 16 state championships between them and District 7A owns Murfreesboro. I predict this will be the first of 5 meetings between these two teams with the last one being for the state championship. Can't wait to see this game! Safe travels to all the Clarkrange visitors to and from the game.

Top 2 programs...yes. They are 2 of top 3 teams this year. It's hard to say Union City is not the best team in class A right now. This game will make both teams better for sure.

Until UC can find a way to make a shot above the foul line they won't beat a Jim Brown coached team and with Lamar having reloaded this year i don't see UC making it past the semi's because they will have to face one of these teams. Every year about this time UC is always "ranked" #1 in the polls because of their weak scheduling. Yes they are a very good team i am not saying they aren't but they are not a threat to win it this year imo.

Their win over LA says they are pretty good. They beat CR in semis last year...and got to title game.

Yes it most certainly does say they are a good team but i don't put a lot of stock into a regular season game that doesn't mean much. The same tournament last year saw UC come within 5 points of beating an Ensworth team that wore out Jackson County and everyone jumped on that bandwagon. I said the same thing then that i am saying now, until UC can hit an outside shot they won't score enough to beat Jackson County and at one point during the state championship game they were down by 29 points until Coach Brown called the dogs off and subbed in and then they cut it back to 15 using their starters against our bench. UC is a quality team but i don't feel they can beat this Jackson County team with JayCee Coe on it and Clarkrange is loaded for sure so for UC to win the state they will have to beat both of these teams in a span of two or three days and thats not likely. However this is just my opinion and i'm basing it off of what has happened every time Union City has faced a team from Jackson County. The results are not good but this year is another year so we shall see.
