uk you know me from last year. I am always logical in my reasoning. I support my home team but who doesn't? i have never EVER claimed Clay would win or even make it to the finals but when you have a kid averaging 40 ppg that team is hard to beat in A.

 

He hit his average last year vs Hampton but can he do it again? He will need help to win so we shall see. If the guy doesn't make a heckuva shot to tie then who knows what Clay would have done vs Mitchell.

 

I do think they matched up vs them better than Hampton did but that's a mute point at this point.

I guess with your expertise on correctly picking games nobody should show up against Clay right?! I can't wait to hear your excuses when something goes south in the tournament. It's State and there ar

Ole OnB was just giving ya a hard time in his post.

We needed strong post play to take Mitchell to the wire last season and just didn't have it....We had the guards and small forward just not the bruiser down low....You all did.

We hung with Mitchell or UC the last three years with an all out, physical D...IMO we wore Clay down a bit with that D that allowed us to win in OT after that buzzer beater in reg. You got to say, it was one of the best games down there.

Mitchell is just a different animal that's hard to prepare for

The main "Key" to winning a state tournament is making it to halftime with your best players not in foul trouble .....get ready for the TSSAA referees annual But pucker whistlefeat

 

Just glad to be back folks Hanpton is lights out at that cracker-box

And almost got us. I will say I was very satisfied with the officialting at Hampton. Yea they missed some but they were consistent and let them play some that is the part that always worries me at state

No argument here....Hampton is still one of the best gyms in TN 12thman.

And you are correct, last year the whistle happy (look at me) refs had mine and 2 other starters in foul trouble in the first qtr against Mitchell....If that happens to a team that needs it's best on the floor for four, they are in T R O U B L E

You make a good point here. Some of these refs want to be noticed and are sitting on "go" to call a foul. That is the most frustrating part of the early games at the tournament.

I agree

There were actually a few no calls that got me fired up last night...And I'm sure GCA could say the same...But then some calls that should have not been made...All in all a "let em play" game.

At state, it doesn't seem to be that way

The "small town" ball is what makes high school the BEST in my opinion.Football or Basketball it just don't matter.We cannot let these type atmospheres go!It makes it worth while.I have Been to Hampton,Oliver springs the old Midway gym (just like the one in Hoosiers) these place are (were) great venues.Would like he to see a small school win it all.

I've seen a lot of basketball over the years in the UC. Key is probably the most impressive athlete on the court, but it is a legit argument if he is a better athlete than Arms. Can key hit a softball..??..lol Coe scored almost 3,000 points with another D1 player on his team, and a 3rd player (which we all know was an ok HS player that loved to shoot), and NO 3 point line. So there is a real debate if Ty is even the best to come out of Clay Co.

And Shozen, as far as the other players from the UC you compared him to...he isn't in the same league as Amonett was in HS. Not even close. I saw that kid dominate us (3 times that year) while we had 2 people hanging on him the entire game & we had a really good team that year. Davis, Westmorland, Weaver, etc

College career is TBD...I think Ty will be great at ISU & have an excellent career. Which is also the highest offer he had, those other schools did not offer. But he won't be playing in the ACC...

I agree with the other posters, start another thread or end this topic on this thread.

Go Dawgs!!

Can't wait to play next week.

Shozen....I hate to give you such bad news but Clay County will not win the state, unless the west Tennessee teams are just awful. They do not have a great team around Key. And since we are talking about Tyreke , he is great player with a great attitude but he is not the best to come out of the Upper Cumberland and I don't know if he is even the best player to come out of Clay County . But he maybe one the more athletic players . Clay County's shot was last year imho.

I've only been back in this area for just over 20 yrs. but in my humble opinion, Key is the best to come out of the Upper Cumberland area during this time. I closely followed Indiana high school BB for many years, while I lived there, and this young man could have started on any of the great teams there during that time. The only thing I've ever seen that I disagreed with in his game was, he was too UNselfish!

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that.

      The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.

      I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
