Macon is very well coached and strong but not deep. They could contend for a State Championship this season. The loss to Upperman was unexpected to me. Upperman is another team that’s very well coached but not as strong as they have been in years past. When it gets tournament time they will be in the mix. I didn’t see them beating Macon but they did. Dekalb in my opinion is playing a little better than to be expected. I think they are talented but not as well as other teams in the district. Hopefully They didn’t peak to early. Livingston is another team that’s coached well but the talent level at this time is not as strong as it has been. They could definitely be a spoiler in the district to someone by years end. York has two of the top players in the district but continue to lay egg after egg. I feel like the caliber of coaching is a lot of the problem there. Cannon unfortunately is the biggest disappointment in the district. This team is very talented and at the same time very inconsistent from one game to the next. Which falls on the shoulders of the coaching staff. Smith isn’t as talented as years past. They also have a new coach which I feel will have them headed in the right direction very soon. Especially after the game against Dekalb. Watertown is probably the youngest team in the district along with their coach. It will take them a couple years to get things headed in the right direction in a very competitive 8AA district. Where they could pull an upset any given night. Nice summary. My 2 cents is that Upperman has more players than Macon. Macon probably has the better player(s). Larry and Dana both do good job. If Macon gets lead upperman cant dictate pace like they did at Baxter. Only 2 teams in district that can win sub state game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UTRok Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 21/21 at the foul line pretty impressive and does wonders for your free throw %. UHS freshman point guard did this last night against YI plus another 15 points to go with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo44 Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 According to the Herald-Citizen. The Watertown- Upperman games have been moved to Monday 28. The weather forecast looks nasty. Roads could be bad in middle Tennessee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I can see both getting back to state this year. If that happens, Dana might want to stay a little closer to the coaching box this year. MC really needs to win the rematch, simply to get that monkey off their backs. Current roster has been on the floor for at least 8 of those last 15 losses to Upperman. That weighs on a young athlete's mind, no matter what anyone tells you. Shooting as poorly as they did at Baxter and keeping within eight tells me that round two might be a little different. MC needs that secondary scoring and when they get it, they're tough to beat. It's when they have nights like they did at Upperman that they are especially vulnerable. As competitive as 8AA is at the top, AA as a whole is still wide open. At least 12-14 teams have a very realistic chance to get to Murfreesboro and most of them can win it. The tourney is shaping up to be a great one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
