Macon Co. vs. McMinn Central

[tssaafan]

What does everyone think?  Macon pulled a huge upset last year but did it with little to no expectations.  This year, that is not the case.  Macon is coming off what may have been their worst performance of the year in the Region 4AA final and McMinn seems to have been playing well as of late.  Either way, hoping for a great game, no injuries, and safe travels for all.

I'm going with McMinn Central. They have 3 players that can score and create their own shot. And the other 2 can score if you leave them open. and they have a good defense. They are well coached. Not very deep. and that might hurt them. but the starting 5 are solid players 1 seniors 4 juniors.

It may be a hard road for a young Meigs County team going to Upperman. But you never know.

You play Macon not Meigs.  If depth is an issue, that could be a problem.  Macon will look to push the tempo.  Macon's guard play is strong, if McMinn presses the entire game, Macon will make them pay.    Macon has 1 senior and no juniors on the team, so they will be around for years to come.  Macon came to Central last year and pulled the upset.  I think this year Macon may be a slight favorite.  With that being said, it is hard to win on the road in substate games.  I will go with McMinn by 3, as they seem to be playing their best ball right now.

I will take Macon by 5. They handle press well and have 4 to 5 girls that can score depending on what the line up is. Their defense is solid. They have a sophomore that can flat play. I think it will be a good game to watch.

I know that Central plays Macon. I was referring to Meigs going on the road to play Upperman at the bottom of my comment. And I am a Meigs fan. Just staying what Central has. Should be a good game.

The edit makes the post make sense now.  No worries.  Unfortunately for Meigs, they have little chance at Upperman.  I can't stand Upperman, so I will be pulling for Meigs but the deck is definitely stacked against you all.  If you can slow down Levy and Hurst, you have a chance.  That is easier said than done.

No chance for Meigs County to win. Upperman by 42. It’s hard to win a substate game in the round house but I’m pulling hard for Coach White and Macon County.

An underrated Macon Co. team strolled into the Round House and beat a highly regarded McMinn Central team in substate last year. The roles are reversed this year, but the location will be the same.  McMinn Central graduated 7 Seniors from last season's team, including POY finalist who's a freshman at UT Chattanooga now.  Macon is well coached and a much improved team this year.

If McMinn Central shoots the ball well and plays solid defense, they have a chance tonight.
Good luck to the Lady Tigers.

Macon beat Central in all aspects. Probably Central's worst game of the year...no defense, little offense, just terrible. Congrats to Macon.

Meigs within 10 2:00 minutes to go in the 3rd

Very impressed with Macon Co. tonight.  Once they got the double-digit lead in the first half they didn't give it up. I'm not sure of the names, but I think it was Bullington and King that controlled the boards. Thankful they didn't play the whole game together.  I wouldn't be surprised if they made it to the state championship game this year.
