Clay Co vs Hampton

Ok yes Clay Co has had a great year and beat some good teams but the state tournament is totally different. Look at all of the great Clay Co teams. The 2006 team as far as overall talent spread through the starting 5 was the best to play at Clay besides maybe the Coe, Strong, and Spivey group from the 80s. In 2006 they still lost to Wayne County in the first round. There is something about playing in MTSU it makes it tougher to score and especially shooting.

 

Will I think Clay will win vs Hampton? Yes but it will be close with it being able to go either way.

 

If you are a fan like I am and you say they have played great the past 6 games then we must have watch different games. Clay has actually played pretty poorly the past few games. 16 turnovers vs JC in the region championship along with 12-14 vs Marion County. If that continues vs Hampton or Mitchell then it's game over. If they play like they did in the Smokey Mountain Classic and prior then Clay could win it all.

 

Can't believe you left Arms off that list! The Coe, Arms and Strong teams would beat this years team by 20 consistently.

Their team was good but egos was the downfall. They had the talent to win every game but there just wasn't enough ball to go around. Talented yes but calling them a great team is totally something different.

 

But yes Jeff Arms was the best player on that team but Coe got all of the glory. To compare the two is like the Bulls and Warriors comparison, apples and oranges. They never got a gold ball either so it's a moot point.

 

Atleast they get to break out their letterman jackets and relive the glory days at the alumni game every year.

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
