Best draw you could have gotten.

Best draw you could have gotten.

 

It really was. The two teams have played twice and split the series. Hillsboro seems to be on a hot streak and MJ seems to be playing just above average to get job done against teams they are suppose to beat. Should be a good game.

coach Allen is best coach in aaa. He will win this game.

Mount Juliet is a decent team with a few pieces but they are on a short leash.  The only player that plays loosely is Faulkenberry.  Austin Brown looks about 85% and Bell doesn't get enough shots.  They sub every 5 seconds.  how will they handle the pressure from Hillsboro?

Coach Allen is horrible. He never tried to win the district and region championship games. He just tried to not get beat by 40.

I think Hillsboro's style of play is more to Mt. Juliet's liking than Independence's would have been.  Hillsboro is more methodical and easier to prepare for because they run sets.  Whereas Independence is more helter skelter and fluid, which makes them more unpredictable.  I think if the matchups had been reversed with Hillsboro vs Station Camp and Independence vs Mt. Juliet, both the region 6 teams would have won.  But, now I am not so confident.

 

I still think both Independence and Hillsboro win.

Good luck to 9AAA! Get the job done. Also, I don't think anybody tried to lose much less by 40. That is just silly.

It is ridiculous for someone to say a coach just tried to lose by a reasonable number. They lost to Station Camp twice this year by 6 so I do not think that was the goal.

 

I am going to go out on a limb and say both 9AAA teams win.

 

I think Station Camp is a great team and will come out ready for that game.

 

MJ and Hillsboro will be close the entire game but see MJ winning this one with free throws down the stretch.

People that continue to bash Troy obviously give themselves way too much credit. How many other coaches at MJ have been to 3 sub-states and also done it back to back?The correct answer is none.  Previously had only been done once, and that team got beat by 30 as well against Pearl.  Talk about his methods all you want, but results don't lie. 

 

And also, how many other teams had success against Camp this year? One......

Camp is a tough match-up. Should it have been 20+ both games? probably not, but when Camp shoots it at 60+% in the District Championship and your two best shooters go 1-11 in the Region Championship, they are a tough beat.
