What Haywood did a year ago is of no concern because well, it was a year ago! They're a one woman team ( Jamirah Schutes ) and will struggle mightily this season. I'm sure that Jamirah scored most of those 35 points. The other girls need more work on fundamentals. CC should have scheduled a team like Memphis Central or Martin Westview if they were looking for better competition out west. I'm sure the CC coaches didn't know at the time of scheduling that this would be a down year for Haywood. 

Agreed, and they also lost their head coach, Baird (I think that's how you spell it) to Independence over the summer.

Cumberland County defeated Haywood 88-35 Saturday. Haywood was in the substate a year ago and has a girl that's signed with Memphis. Junior Gracee Dishman scored 44 for the Lady Jets

McMinn Central is at Comberland County tonight. Could be a rematch for a substate game if both teams make it that far. Anyone at that game?

Dyersburg probably pulled the biggest upset of this season, knocking off AAA Memphis Central 65-60, a team most project to get to state. Was anyone there???

Congrats to D'burg but I wouldn't take too from this. Central is missing two of their main players ( brianna cooks and kynadi kuykendoll ) because of injuries. Cooks is a offensive threat while Kuykendoll is the team's defensive specialist. This is a good early season win for D'burg, but come time for the post season Central ( HEALTHY ) will roll over the Trojans if there's a rematch.

Cooks is no longer playing basketball for Memphis Central.

That's a big blow for the Lady Warriors.

I don't know about Central rolling over the Lady Trojans if there is a late season rematch due to the fact ... We played Central before their entire student body on their court with some of the staff officiating (my conclusion based off some of the "Ghost" fouls/violations) we had to overcome to only win by 5..... Hopefully, we will get another shot to confirm your projection. Here's hoping you're wrong.

Cheatham beat Beech last night 66-43.  I think Beech played Cumberland Co close.  2 pt game if I read right.  Cheatham’s crew is going to be a problem for lots of teams this year.

If you had ever played or watched a game at Cheatham co gym, then you know it's good for a 15 to 20 point advantage for the home team.   Cumberland co and beech played on a neutral court.  I think that there are about a dozen teams in AA that could be the last team standing.

Both teams are young but talented. McMinn I think has one senior and Meigs has three. I think they will finish 1-2 in district and region. Don't know who came out on top. McMinn lost a lot more than Meigs. But will still be good. Meigs lost one senior and will be deeper than McMinn. They have some good sophomores and freshmen. But yes I agree wining a substate game will be difficult especially for the team that has to travel. But there's always a chance if the young one develop.

 

McMinn Central girls are 2-5 and lost a couple of those games by double digit blowouts. It's a good thing they play in a weak district.
