I posted this in the CF/GB thread and wanted to post it here as well. Well boys it officially game day. Congrats to all the players, coaches, communities and fans involved. It's a great honor to be where you all are and both teams deserve to be there. Support those dang kids win or lose. Because at the end of the day dangit, it's about the kids and not us old has beens bickering back and forth. Good luck to both teams and here's to player and fan safety during travel and the game.

If I aint said it in a while.  GO COUGARS!! Is it cannibalistic for a Cougar to eat a Wildcat?  I hope the Cougars come down out of the mountains and unleash a pounding on the Wildcats.  We got one of them Wildcat infestations back home in Polk County already. We're proud of you boys, now go get em.  Talk about a cat fight!  WOOO LETS GO RED! WOOO

Don't know if I will get to post again today so  I want to say this before the game tonight.  I am proud of these boys.  I appreciate the effort they have given this season.  I am as nervous as a cat with two tails in a room full of rocking chairs too. I may have to eat crow, but it wont be the first time, and besides its packed with protein and believe it or not, it tastes nothing like chicken.  The thing about football at Basin is its not about having the best equipment, cause we don't.  Its not about fancy locker rooms or an exquisite field house.  We have not ever been given those kinds of things.  Its about heart.  Its always been about heart.  We stand together as a team, individuals united under one cause, each other  These boys get that.  They don't quit. The community is proud of them and you can hear the talk around town. No we aint got the best that money can buy, and most people look down their nose at the boys from the mountains, but its good to see we still like to play smashmouth football. So look down your nose while lying on your back, and if you beat us, well by George youll remember the punishment it took to do it. Shoot Im fired up now! Cant wait till tonight!

Good Post, sounds sorta like Monterey. In Putnam County they are considered the "people from the Mountain." I will guarantee you this, CB may not have much but they got more than Monterey. Those boys have had to fight through it all no field, no school, no locker room, and they just keep the course. Sounds like tonight will be a great game between two deserving teams that will battle the whole game and not give up. Go Wildcats!!

It's great to see two small towns make it this far. Actually all of the east left is from small towns. All public schools too. Not sure about west

Yes sounds like both teams are very deserving! Nothing better than small town Friday night football.

    • Worst thing SC could do is get rid of Dyer. I agree with everything said above.
    • Jada Hart, Jasmine Bailey and Kaitlyn Patterson the first two being PG's are all good guards and can handle ball pressure and are good players. Raven Wells will be a good post. There were games this summer where any one of the one's I mentioned were in double figures. Gibson County will control TO's much better this year and they will press more and get back to playing faster. AA is down across the board. I have been all over watching ball. Alcoa jumped to AAA and Jackson County moved down. to A. No telling who wins it this year. I agree Union City, Westview and Gibson County will be a dogfight and must see basketball. Poster insuated that Gibson County has a mental block against Westview. Well give me Maddie Gray and we line up last year and they wouldn't have won a game. Let's see how Westview does this year. Their starting five last year had three transfers in it. Rogers from Obion, Trevathon from Greenfield and Gray from South Fulton. Looks like they swung and missed with the girl from Florida this year so let's see how they do playing with kids from Westview. Gibson County has a really good 7th grade class this year.I have done learned you play with what you got and work them hard and develop them and see what happens. Just keep battling and see what happens. I like our team this year. Very athletic. Every year is the same with injuries and can be catistrophic to any. I watched GC all summer long. South Side and GC was very evenly matched and was a classic war.We had some quality wins this summer. Beat Huntingdon, Henry County, Bowling Green, Liitle Rock Central as well as a couple other quality Kentucky Teams. Westview's talent pool may not be what it has been without transfers the next few.  
    • I think Gibson County is a top five team this next season but I do agree they will drop off a lot after this year.  Westview lost a ton and will be down this season and hopes of returning to glass house again is slim.  The run they have had is super impressive!
    • My take on GC for this year: Based on what I saw last year and heard this summer, I’m not sure GC could surprise me next year with any outcome. Wilkins is a great coach - they could win the district and region and go to Murfreesboro. They could also come in third in the district and not get out of region. The two returning starters are very talented but Guru is right that they didn’t always play hard last year. The other three starters are good enough in their roles for GC to be successful. There is no depth. Foul trouble could be a problem - Wilkins may avoid it by playing a lot of zone. An injury would be catastrophic. I hope they have a big year and Wilkins rides off into the sunset in Murfreesboro because, without some significant transfers, there are some tough years coming in the next few.
    • Daniel Boone coming down to 3A makes this much tougher. They added a couple transfers to the Flores girl. Cocke Co, Northview, Greeneville, and Daniel Boone - only two headed to Murfreesboro.
