Class AA State Tournament Thread

Let's not crown Upperman just yet. They will have a VERY tough time against East. 2016 state champs vs. 2017 champs. 2016 State MVP Kia Upton vs. 2017 MVP Akira Levy. Let's put it this way.

• 4:30 game
• Upton WILL match up with Levy & limit what she does.
• This will be the first time this season Levy/Upperman will play a more athletic team
• Both teams are young and lack Glass House experience!   

Upperman MIGHT win, but Levy and Hurst will have to come to play.

They didn’t have too much trouble against East this summer.

East didn't have any trouble with Upperman two years ago. Can't really compare something from the past to right now. I think most will pick Upperman and deservingly so. If EN can stay out of foul trouble and make their free throws it will be a game.

Upperman beat east by 20 or so last state tournament.  When they played them in June Upton was not 100%.  I know it will be a different game.  I still pick Upperman.

Correct and two years ago EN beat Upperman. Just saying you really can't compare. I hope EN keeps it close but most will pick Upperman.

I’ll take that bet for as much as you want to lay down brother.  Upperman is 10 miles from my home they are the best team in AA by a wide margin. Macon County wins the silver yet again 

You ever watched Westview play?

Don’t count out MC just yet. Young team that has a lot of speed and can break the press very well. If Carter and Gregory  both score 15+, MC is very hard to beat. Along with other great scores. Don’t be surprised to see MC win

I have not seen Macon County play, but will be going to the games on Thursday. What numbers are the two players you referenced in your post?

Alcoa vs Westview is going down to the wire.

Westview is going to pull it out.

[sportslover88]

Westview played without their senior leader point guard for three quarters who went out with a knee injury in same knee she tore and missed her junior year with. She is the heart of the team but the others stepped up big and they pulled it out. Hopefully she will be okay but it didn’t look promising

Macon Co up 62-42 with 1:00 to go in the 3rd
