Triple A State Tournament Predictions

[Bearettesalltheway]

Reuter is a probably the best coach theyve had imo. Smiddy only went to state 2 times i believe and won national title back to back. Yeah its been 40 years and were due but thats something to be proud of. I expect a state title within the next 3-4 years.

O think cumberland going to aa could be good for them. Them and mcminn central should be great rivalry next 4 years. Bradley cant help the district their in is basically one sided.

Bradley has had superior coaching over the years. Smiddy was a master coach in the six on six days. Cretton went to state a couple of times. Jack Harlow, known as one of the best coaches in state, also took teams to state and substate. Brian Glasner took his Bearette squads to substate more than once and is now coaching in middle Tennessee. Now, Reuter is continuing the tradition. Bradley has a tradition of winning although no gold balls since the Smiddy era.

They can't help that the district is pathetic!! It saddens me that the district has sunk so low, because several years ago it was one of the toughest districts and not far behind Shelbyville's district and Riverdale's! What has happened to our area? If Cumberland is moving down, then BC will have literally no competition in district or region play. That's sad and ridiculous! Is it coaching or lack of talent? Yes, Reuter is a great coach. He was the boy's assistant for many years, including the team that went to state three state years and had a 100-10 record (playing the best competition in TN and surrounding states). He mentored under one of the best men's coaches in Tennessee. Bradley will do fine next year and will probably go undefeated again. I just hope they get through substate next year.

Their bad night shooting might have been a result of SC's defensive speed. As stated earlier the game wouldn't even have been close without the complete travesty of officiating.

if Bradley goes undefeated next season it will definitely be because of schedule. They got to play some teams from Middle TN. There is no reason that Riverdale shouldn't have been on BC's schedule. They weren't battle tested and it showed.

[Dadof23]

Let's examine what has happened to District 5AAA. Walker Valley, Bradley, and Cleveland have essentially three middle schools that feed all three high schools. For the past few years, Bradley has been getting the best players from all three schools while the other two get what's left. Couple that with the transfers of Howard (East Hamilton) and Carter (Clarksville) and it's easy to see why they are so dominant. One thing is for sure, if kids who transfer continue to push tradition filled Bradley kids to the sideline, their dominance will soon fade.

Or tssaa shoukd quit making middle tn play region 3 in sectionals and have region finals winners host one of the losers from another region. A blind draw just like they do with state. That woukd give west tn teams a chance to play east to get to state too and dadof23 your rhynes dad?? Too bad cretton is at wv now and will never get to go back to state unless he decides to be an assisstant to reuter or wv gets hreat players like bradley. District 5 boys have always been good and usually always send at least 1 team to state not so much girls recently except bradley...

[Bearettesalltheway]

As far as officiating goes i think the refs outside the regions actually draw to see who goes where. That would be the fair thing to do

[Bearettesalltheway]

I agree dadof23. Isnt howards cousin playing for eh too? And one of Bradleys players few years back transferred to morristown west and they ended up losing to blackman in state title game. Cant remember her name though. But any high school player that gets 20 d1 offers has to be a great player

[Bearettesalltheway]

And i agree that coach smith was one of the greatest boys coaches in state. Too bad he had to have knee surgery snd had to retire because their coach now isnt the greatest. Id rather have his assistant coach as head coach since he is a former player for bradley. But im not the a.d. and dont make those decisions

Jeez Their head coach now Clark IS A FORMER PLAYER for Bradley also. What difference would that make. You want a former Bearette then as their head Coach ? Man you are not making sense.
