Things You Don't Know About Riverdale Girls Basketball

I got to see Riverdale and Smyrna tonight. Fun game to watch. Alexa might be the most complete player I've ever seen personally at the high school level.

Thanks for coming GCPioneer!  Alexa had a great game for sure.  Tough game all the way to the end.  Looking forward to seeing her play for my Lady Vols next year.

Smyrna is going to be really good with that freshman post and those sophomore guards. They have the potential to be really good for the next few years. It's unreal how much talent there is in the Murfreesboro area when it comes to girls basketball. Much like Memphis on the men's side.

Riverdale's student section has some great kids as well. This was posted by another team's player after a game:

The words were kind and shows the respect the kids at the schools have for each other. It appears many students and athletes as well as fans get along well between the Murfreesboro teams/schools.. At least it appears that way on the court. The game is played hard but it is left in the gym and they get along afterwards. Im sure many of these families have known each other a long time.

Just read your mid season 7-AAA All District teams. Good selections overall.  Had to be a hard list to put together!

It was. Some really good players were left off the list, and tried for the most part to get at least somebody from every program on the team, but hard to do in a 7- team league.

Well, Rutherford Co. is obviously the hot spot for big time recruits and the best teams in the state in general. Smyrna would beat the best Triple A over here in west Tennessee by 25 and that's just the truth.

I have heard thru AAU coaches and HS coaches that the Memphis area is down this year.

Memphis area is down this year. I don't know who the front runner is in AAA now that Craigmont is in AA this year. Dyer Co. seems to be the best AAA team around here this year, but like I said, I think that Smyrna team is 20-25 points better than Dyer Co. AAA in the west is way down this year. Memphis Central is not what they usually are. Coach Bray has left there so Central might not be heard of again on the girls side for a long time to come.

Agreed. It's not like Riverdale has been winning like this for decades. White County dominated district 7-AAA throughout the 90's.
