I've followed Cheatham County a bit this season. In my opinion, their half-court game has significantly improved from last season. Last season most of their points seem to come from fast-breaks and turnovers. They would struggled offensively if you slowed them down. I haven't seen Macon County at all this season but the record shows them being a solid team. I think this will be a close game that could go either way.

Regardless of this season's outcome, next season is looking promising for the Cubs. They only have one senior on the team, and she comes off the bench. Having said that, since Cheatham County only goes six or seven deep in close games, she is a vital part of their success this season.

I too believe this could be a good game.  From my limited knowledge of Cheatham, I would guess our teams are more alike than they are different.  We have played common opponents, Westmoreland and Watertown, and have beaten them by similar margins.  I know you can't put a great deal of stock in that and more often than not it comes down to individual matchups, especially when a man-to-man defense is played.  I do know that Macon will press and play man-to-man.  How each team responds to the defensive pressure will be the key to the game, IMO.

I think the better common opponent is Hendersonville.  Talking with a person close to that program, the styles are very similar.  Constant pressure, crashing the boards and slashing to the basket.  Similar size wise, with both teams having a pretty good post player.  I think it comes down to who shoots the ball from outside better and conditioning.  Macon's #24 is their go to in the games that I have seen them play.  Cheatham has 2 players almost identical to her.  One lefty and one right.  If both teams stay in the press, it could be a high scoring affair, as it seems both teams handle 1-2-2 and 2-2-1 presses fairly easily.

      So much talk about an investigation about student record manipulation and then everything has went silent. Has anyone heard how the investigation is going?

      Basically what you're saying is schools can basically bully students around and get away with it because they are protected. I agree to a certain extent but when schools decisions to keep knuckleheads on staff starts costing kids careers and a college education there is a problem. Our school system last week had a teacher supposedly push a kid and the parents went to the law and the teacher is suspended. So I wouldn't say that they can just do what they want without liability. This case don't pass the smell test because the coach had already been fired before and she got fired after a year on the job. Sounds like the student was right in this case on the outside looking in because the coach gets fired after one year. How many coaches get fired after one year?? Not many.

      Problem with DB football goes beyond coaching. Like Waco said. Thr band is the main focus of their community and school. They have the resources to be a championship level team. Guarantee Ballard or Witten could have them nationally relevant at some point but everyone down to peewee would have to buy in and at DB we all know that would never happen.
