Preseason favorites in single A ( Which districts are strong this year)

[bobcatfan#1]

Pickett Co has everyone back and was less than 2 minutes from beating unbeaten Union City last year in the state tournament. They were also up by 6 at the end of 3. They have 3 All State players plus another who as a freshman was as good as the others. No one else has 3 All State players coming back.

Moore 43 Jackson Co 34 - Jackson Co. will struggle when Allen is matched against a strong athletic defender. Just not enough scorers at Jackson in my opinion. Also Moore should finish anywhere from second to fifth in district 9A. Jackson should take second behind Pickett in their district with Meadows out.

Who does people think the 8 teams will be at the state tournament this year?

Not sure about being a state contender but Red Boiling Springs.did not look bad in the game I saw them, close win over DeKalb.

Indian, Moore plays RBS in HOF game at Webb this upcoming Saturday. We should know a lot more about both teams then. Moore and RBS both looked good in one game yesterday and then lost bad on their second game. White co didn't let RBS run the pick and roll that they love to run on that drag play. Once they shut the drag play down, there wasn't much offense from RBS.

Bobcat, I live in East Tn and I saw where Pickett Co is coming up this weekend for 2 games. Apparently from reading this they are a really good team. If I saw it correctly they are playing Dobyns Bennett and Daniel Boone. How should they compete in those games?

And? ...so what does that mean? I have no idea of what you are asking.

 

As for this weekend. They will be playing two AAA teams. It looks like Daniel Boone wasn't that good last year but Dobyns Bennett was very good. It will be two good games I think since PC is just single A.

DB middle of the pack and Daniel Boone the favorite to win the district this year.

Miss Allen didn't struggle too much again Bouldin tonight. I don't see why any other team will be that big of a struggle. Van Buren tried it with those fake falls but luckily they didn't work that many times. I suspect Pickett co will try that fake falling/foul stuff as well.

You can add Dresden to the list for tough outs in West TN. Gibson County beat Dresden in OT last night and Dresden more than held their own. They led by 8 with 2 minutes left and GC made a late charge and hit a 3 at the end of regulation to tie the game. GC missed tons of FT's throughout the game which didn't help their cause. But great game early and I expect these two will battle it out again in the region. Two good teams.

I think that Allen herself silenced you last night. 17 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 steals. She was the main target of Van Buren defense, and it didn't work. Also, we should be talking about how she shut Bouldin down in the first two quarters, keeping her to 6 points i believe. I saw a nasty push in the back by Bouldin to Allen, and I was highly disappointed, but no matter, in roughly three quarters of play, Allen led a great scoring team. Sherrill had 17, and three others were in double digits I believe!
