Well, if you are Whitehaven or East, you are happy that the other District 16 team will be placed on the opposite side of the bracket in AAA.

The same thing goes for Mitchell and Wooddale in AA. Both of those schools are District 16 as well.

Getting OUT of Memphis is so hard to do. I think it's great that both teams from the same district will have an opportunity to make it to the state championship game without having to play a team from its district in the preliminary stages.

What is Sevier County looking like this year? How do they match up with the Haven?

They don't match up man for man, they are very well coached and methodical. They beat a good Oak Ridge team, that only lost to Whiehaven by 4, to get to State. (SC beat OR by 5) They've won 8 straight and 14 of 15.

I have only seen them on video and not in person. Maryville beat them by 10 in our first game of the season. RW87 could answer that. Even though they are only 25 miles away, they play in District 2. They didn't get much press or hype because of Bearden, Oak Ridge, Maryville, Catholic, in our immediate area from Districts 3 and 4.

Sevier County to me is the most surprising team in the state tourney including all 3 levels of classification (A-AAA). I've seen them play twice in person this season. They won one game & lost the other one. To me, they are a team that's just well coached. They don't have a star even though PG Marvin Castro is probably their best player @ 5'10" & a light 130 lbs. They play true team basketball. They do have 2 players that go 6'5" in Wesley Maples & Camden McElhaney. Maples is the better of the 2 taller players.

They are just a well balanced team. They also play pretty good defense. They play mostly man-to-man but at times will throw a full court press & also a zone in the half court defense. I just don't see them matching up well with Whitehaven though. I am expecting more zone from Sevier County in this game. I still personally think Whitehaven is a much better team overall. I could see Whitehaven winning by 10+ points.

Sevier County will play a zone against Whitehaven. They are well coached and if Whitehaven doesn’t bring their A game it could be an upset. I do think Whithaven wins but could be closer than most think.

I agree. I think Sevier County will play mostly if not all zone against Whitehaven. They can't stop Whitehaven in a man-to-man defense. I also think with Sevier County & their quick guards they will throw some full court traps in the backcourt to try & get some steals & easy buckets.

    • The Girls Basketball team I am a part of played for a gold ball this season. One of the biggest differences in the sports is that there is no field prep/maintenance in basketball.   Our baseball is successful and play 30 games in the regular season as well. All of the teams dedicate A LOT of time in preparing for their next opponent. 
    • Im pretty excited about the new rules that NFHS voted to adopt. Does anyone know if this will take place in Tennessee starting this year? I think I heard/read somewhere that the TSSAA bi-laws say they have to mirror what the NFHS does, and when the NFHS offered the current weight classes as options, TSSAA didn’t adopt them until NFHS made them official. Did NFHS make these changes official starting next season or will it be similar to the weight classes where TSSAA doesn’t change what they are doing until it is  an officially official part of the NFHS rule book? It’ll be interesting to see if it is rolled out for the new TSSAA Middle School season and I saw a post where the youth wrestling in TN was going to vote on adopting it as well.  I’ll pray for all the youth coaches that will have to shoulder the confusion from all those crazy #### parents who already think they know the rules more than everyone else  . Imagine the first time their kid is taken down and a 3 goes up on the scoreboard or their kid gets pinned with only one point of contact in the cylinder. Their heads might explode. i kid, I kid. Sort of. I’m surprised ride time was brought down with all the other changes. I know some argue that it promotes stalling on top, but its been an official scoring method in college forever, so I figure it must be doing something right. Do any of you think that’ll ever be implemented? 
    • I understand I guess it depends on the school you are with and the time you want to put in.  It’s evident of the schools that don’t put in as much times.  I would say basketball players put in as much time as any sport in our school system and this is coming from a football town.  Bball is a longer season than other sports.
