8-AA 2016-17

Hoopshype you are correct on the paint drying but a losing record just by numbers. To take into consideration that this team had 1 returning starter from last season and then playing a bunch of kids that got hardly any to no minutes last season and ask to duplicate last year record without all the home school teams is a far fetched idea. This team was 1 win off last years regular season district totals and the same as the previous 5 and more than the previous 10. Oh and the last losing season was 5 years ago. I believe the team is just young and inexperienced. As far as Cope he was a good tactician and good scheduler. I am fan of D.C. And have been my entire life. I read these post all the time so I decided to jump and add my 2 cents. I believe they are on the right track considering all the adversity these kids have had to deal with this season.

On the right track, are you serious. The lady tigers have only won 2 games since dec 15. That is 2 months ago and against the weakest 8aa district in 30 years and when Dekalb came to warren last year Robinson, Hedge and Panter all 3 started, and Robinson and Hedge were 8aa all freshman team last season. As far as scheduling Cope didn't make the schedule in his first season ( science hill, Franklin co, ) and I think he took that team to region semi-finals. Dekalb didn't play for over 3 weeks from dec15 until Jan 5. That is unheard of in the middle of a season. If they are on the right track then I want on a different train.

Last years staff made this schedule. I agree too much game time off during Christmas hurt their rythmn. Last years district was pretty weak also. 3 teams in the district top 12 this year in AA....makes for a pretty solid as usually 8AA. Hedge been out for 2 weeks and others have been hampered by injury also. Hard to win when your not healthy and a very short bench. As far as the region for this years that is yet to be determined and I think Cope inherited a older more experience group that year... I think Woodword was on that team.... I like what I see but they need to learn how to finish games. At best this teams record should be flip flopped. Just my opinion though.

Cope inherited a team that was 11-64 the previous 3 seasons - OMG cheer up anyway its almost softball time, no other school in 8aa cares about that so you will win in that sport.

Bump

Last I checked 8AA sent two teams to final 8 so good call on that.

Upperman is #1. I believe Smith and Macon will have to flip a coin for #2 as they split in the regular season. LA is more than likely #4. All district games will be completed Thu. the 9th.  The  district meeting is scheduled for Fri. 10 Feb. The brackets will be established then.   

 

no coin flip,macon won it out-right. Macon is on the rise.started 3 freshman most of the sesason and only played one senior,plus got some good fresman coming next season

Now the second season begins. This what the teams have worked for since November. Good luck to all.

Can anyone post the All District superlatives on here? I have not seen a full and complete list of who got what...Thanks.

Have not seen a comprehensive list, but Upperman and Macon County both have posted their school's representatives on their Facebook pages.  Would like to see a complete list as well if anyone has a link to it.
