GCPioneer Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) I saw the TCA/Peabody game and TCA/Gibson game... difference was, TCA fell apart in the fourth quarter against Peabody and they stepped up in the fourth quarter against Gibson.... Gibson doesn’t need to take Peabody for granted... while they don’t quite have the length of TCA, they still get after it and play hard. Gibson is the better team, but I also said that going into the TCA game. Edited January 14, 2019 by GCPioneer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullShark Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 It is quite possible for there to be a two or three way tie in the district, What is the tiebreaker if two or three teams split and have the same record? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarkrange Pickett County Gibson County Summertown Greenfield Loretto Gleason TCA Trenton Clay County I understand 8 of these teams are out of 2 regions so 4 of the teams wont make it to state but I think these are the best 10 Class A teams. . I agree. Gleason is playing well now as is Peabody and TCA. I believe Clarkrange and Greenfield are the team's to beat in Single A right now and should be ranked 1 and 2 in the AP poll, IMO. GC is not playing consistent offensively. We beat Gleason and Westview in the Westview tournament but we are not playing well offensively. I don't now how they do the polls but Clarkrange and Greenfield are my top 2, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know but at this stage us playing Halls and Humboldt first two games of District Tournament as a 1 seed might not help us. Our district is so bad other than the first three it is basically like a game off. It may be better for us to play a tougher bracket. We have played our worse ball after playing stretches of teams that are bad. Edited January 14, 2019 by pioneer42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westtnsportsfan Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 TCA has a good team and made GC uncomfortable the other night. I think the problem was GC got a lead in the second half and just put in on cruise control and to there credit TCA never quit and came back and won. With that said. Was by far the worst game I’ve seen GC play this year and it still took overtime for TCA to beat them. Let’s see how they respond against Peabody Tuesday night. But there is a reason GC has only lost twice against the tough schedule they have played. IMO they were better off losing that game playing poorly than winning it.

It wasn't a well coached game either. The whole game was strange the way it was coached. We deserved to lose and I agree are better off losing it than winning it. I don't know if you have noticed it or not but when we play bad on offense we are just super slow passing the ball, taking shots, missing open posts, and cutters in the paint and getting the ball up court. It is like they are playing in mud. I don't know if it is just playing individual ball or just they play that slow on offense when they are having a bad night. Very strange. His offensive coaching is a lot more lenient than his defensive coaching. Edited January 14, 2019 by pioneer42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have played their best ball when playing three good teams in a row for some reason. Very strange. But keep in mind the 2 games he has lost he hasn't had his best offensive lineup in. The coach obviously has a concept some times that we will beat you playing an ugly game of no offense and a lot of defense and you seen it back fire twice this year. GC has got to get better play offensively and start working inside out to loosen up guards. GC has three good post players they have just been abandoned. It is time for GC to start coaching offense every day because GC's defense is probably best in the state as far as points per game. Trinity is a good team and well coached but we hold any team in the state to 30 points in regulation you have to like your chances. I had rather lose now than win ugly now and perhaps lose later and not address issues. GC is practicing today and I bet their whole practice is offense. The state better hope GC's offense don't get better because if their offense is OK they will beat most teams. I will credit TCA again, but I like GC's chances especially in the district tournament no matter where we are seeded. I don't like polls and I had rather lose now than be ranked number 1. I dont Understand that comment. Coach did not have his best offensive lineup in. The object is to score more than the other team. This is also the coach that has something like 900 wins???? You short change the two teams that beat you with that kind of comment. GC might very well beat TCA the next time. But TCA will still have their best offensive lineup in though.

Won him a lot of games but that is his philosophy. He tells girls all the time he don't care how many points you score. All about defense. Nick Saban is a defensive guy. Just the way he believes. No disrespect to Trinity. That is his philosophy. Edited January 14, 2019 by pioneer42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They played tough man to man defense all night long! For the most part they played great help defense against GC’s drivers.

When you got 10-12 players sometimes they get lost in the shuffle. Edited January 14, 2019 by pioneer42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense but Greenfield is probably the best defense we played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
