History suggests it isn't. Show me a great SC team and I'll show you a program that gets bumped in the playoffs against an athletically superior team. You can't coach speed

Unless you’re from Trousdale County where they believe coaching magically gives them superior team speed over most of the teams in 2A lol.

Yes but if you chose to play up in football then you could play 2a in the other sports. Which is very doable.

If yo have  1100 kids you will not have a choice to play 2A in other sports.  You will be 3a in all other sports. You can choose to play 5A football right now as a 3A football school, but playing up in football has nothing to do with where  you play in other sports. Enrollment controls everything.

not denying this at all. however if you had the combined teams of gville and sc as discussed previously, then you would have a very good amount of speed on that team and could play with people

A consolidated school would only have 900-950 students. That would put them at 2A in the other sports.

The fact that you can't coach speed is obvious, but I've seen slow, disciplined, and well-coached teams beat teams that were loaded with speed.

I agree but teams that are loaded with speed AND well coached with discipline is what we eventually run into. Alcoa, Catholic, Fulton, Greenville, etc just to name a few.

    • Worst thing SC could do is get rid of Dyer. I agree with everything said above.
    • Jada Hart, Jasmine Bailey and Kaitlyn Patterson the first two being PG's are all good guards and can handle ball pressure and are good players. Raven Wells will be a good post. There were games this summer where any one of the one's I mentioned were in double figures. Gibson County will control TO's much better this year and they will press more and get back to playing faster. AA is down across the board. I have been all over watching ball. Alcoa jumped to AAA and Jackson County moved down. to A. No telling who wins it this year. I agree Union City, Westview and Gibson County will be a dogfight and must see basketball. Poster insuated that Gibson County has a mental block against Westview. Well give me Maddie Gray and we line up last year and they wouldn't have won a game. Let's see how Westview does this year. Their starting five last year had three transfers in it. Rogers from Obion, Trevathon from Greenfield and Gray from South Fulton. Looks like they swung and missed with the girl from Florida this year so let's see how they do playing with kids from Westview. Gibson County has a really good 7th grade class this year.I have done learned you play with what you got and work them hard and develop them and see what happens. Just keep battling and see what happens. I like our team this year. Very athletic. Every year is the same with injuries and can be catistrophic to any. I watched GC all summer long. South Side and GC was very evenly matched and was a classic war. Hope all stays healthy. 
    • I think Gibson County is a top five team this next season but I do agree they will drop off a lot after this year.  Westview lost a ton and will be down this season and hopes of returning to glass house again is slim.  The run they have had is super impressive!
    • My take on GC for this year: Based on what I saw last year and heard this summer, I’m not sure GC could surprise me next year with any outcome. Wilkins is a great coach - they could win the district and region and go to Murfreesboro. They could also come in third in the district and not get out of region. The two returning starters are very talented but Guru is right that they didn’t always play hard last year. The other three starters are good enough in their roles for GC to be successful. There is no depth. Foul trouble could be a problem - Wilkins may avoid it by playing a lot of zone. An injury would be catastrophic. I hope they have a big year and Wilkins rides off into the sunset in Murfreesboro because, without some significant transfers, there are some tough years coming in the next few.
    • Daniel Boone coming down to 3A makes this much tougher. They added a couple transfers to the Flores girl. Cocke Co, Northview, Greeneville, and Daniel Boone - only two headed to Murfreesboro.
