Region 7A Tourney.

Your exactly right. Coach Wilkins is throwing lots of looks. Riverside is very physical from what I hear. Will be a tough game, but I say we prevail. After we fought through adversity tonight, I feel good about it. Our defense looks like the 85 Bears. Very stingy.

Riverside is in no way going to be an easy game. They're very physical. They're extremely well coachedas well. They're led by 5'10 guard Bree Linton. They also have another solid guard in Sha Scott. They don't have much size in the post, but their guards don't mind pushing the other team around. When I've seen Riverside, they've struggled against the press. I do think Gibson Co. is the better team, but they must come out and play like the better team. I will take Gibson by 10.

GC does Riverside press?

GC does Riverside press?

Yes, they did a little against Middleton. Nothing too crazy, but it was full court pressure.

I bet you got as good of a knowledge of them as we have around here. I will pass this info along. I hope you do as well.

Who will the winner of the Dresden/Middleton game play in the state.

[pioneer42]

Think they will play winner of Pickett County and Van Buren Greenfield.

[Greenfieldfan]

Good deal, Pickett County will be the winner of that matchup. We will get to see how west Tennessee stacks up with 7A in the first game.  Pickett is about as good as Clark Range looks like, they beat them once and only lost by one last night.  I hope Gibson County gets to play Clark Range.

Man I hope GC gets by Riverside. GC will be a tough out if we make it up there. GC playing Greenfield, Bradford twice, Dresden and now Riverside is not an easy task. GC plays a nasty defense and I will say this if they get beat the other team will have earned it because they play hard. GC showed a lot of character being down in the first half against Dresden. I think this team is peaking at the right time and it would not surprise me at all if they won it all after watching last nights game.

I think if Gibson makes it to state, they have as good a chance at winning it as anyone. I guarantee their starting 5 is as good as any in Single A. Depth, of course, will be an issue. Three games in three days will be pretty rough...

[pioneer42]

GC Dresden pressed the entire game last night. We hardly even pressed and the 2nd half they were winded. They were turning the ball over left and right. We started in man and got behind and went to the 1-3-1 and mixxed in a little 2-3 zone and it gave Dresden major problems. I believe this bunch is poised enough and conditioned enough to do it. I got worried last night when we got behind but the showed some composure. We get by Riverside it's going to take a good performance to knock us out.

Yeah our girls looked like they wore down Dresden in the region championship. And that was the second game in 2 days. But it's still very hard to do. And you always have to worry about foul trouble as well. I'm feeling better and better about our team though. Bo Booth gymnasium will be ELECTRIC Monday night. Hopefully they can help the girls get to the boro.
