Several ridiculous cross court passes  by huntingdon led to 3 turnovers in the last 2 min, they give up 5 unanswered points and they lose.  55-54 Summertown advances. 

Summertown probably led majority of the game, until Huntingsons run late 3rd, early 4th.... give Summertown some credit.... great game

Fillies had Summertown on the ropes just couldnt close the deal. The better coached team usually wins at crunch time. McKenzie played the best I've seen them play. Had Loretto a little worried for a minute.

Never know what will happen in these games. Greenfield and GC both had a scare Saturday Night. When you get this far you can be beat on any given night. 

Well good games at Bethel. Huntingdon should have won. The Fillies were playing like they were down 5 instead of up by 5 at the end. They kept trying to score instead of pulling the ball out and making Summertown foul them. Also Lowery had a timeout he should have called at the end. If you call a timeout and set up a play for Fuller to drive to the basket you likely win the game. Nasty injury to Reed at the end of the game. I noticed she had to be  carried to the bus when the Fillies left. Really hope that she is ok. 

McKenzie shocked me on how well we came out and took a 10 point lead in the first quarter. I am proud of our girls on how well we played. We shut down Weathers and made other teammates score it. If McKenzie stayed aggressive at the end, we wind up winning the game. I am just very proud on how well we played tonight.

7A Region Championship

Gibson County vs Greenfield

UTMartin gym 7:00 pm

Gibson County is the #1 team in the state and beat AA Westview twice and AA Southside, the two best AA teams in west Tennessee. Can the Lady Jackets pull the upset?  

 

I am calling it @Greenfieldfan y’all pulls the upset of the year! I only say upset because everyone has been talking about Gibson County like they won the gold ball last year! Don’t get me wrong we(South Side) played both Greenfield & Gibson County. I feel like Greenfield is better even without the shooter from last year. Don’t get me wrong Gibson County is a very tough team! Their coach made great adjustments against us & beat us by 5. We beat greenfield twice, but I feel in a close game greenfield will get the ball in one of their 2 superstar hands! Gibson County has at least 12 girls that can play! If GC wins it will come down to depth! I have Greenfield 45 Gibson County 43!! Both will advance to Murfreesboro

Let me first congratulate  Mckenzie  for their effort and physical play tonight.  They gave Loretto everything they wanted.  Loretto knew they were in for a game.  Other girls did step up for Loretto and their defense kicked in the 2nd half.   You not quite right on totally shutting down Weathers, she had 27 points, but you did take her out of her comfort zone at times.  She has had a tough weekend with having to bury her grandfather.  Mr Davis was a really fine man too.   I do think McKenzie had a good game plan for her.  Well,  it's round 5 with Summertown and Loretto !  May the odds be ever in Loretto's favor !

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy.
