Bradley Bearettes - 2019 AAA State Champs

Congrats to Coach Reuter & the Bearettes. We didn’t shoot the ball too well in the Region Championship  through the first round of State, but our defense played extremely tough and kept us in games.

We shot the ball better yesterday and today. Blair was amazing and deserved Tourney MVP, Walker played like a Region MVP on both ends as well, but It took a team effort. Hughes made an early 3 in the semis & Championship game to give us huge momentum, Roberts played great defense & is deceptively quick. Mayo came off the bench & wore the other team down as well as making some key 3’s in both games. Jamia, Barnes & Amelia also gave quality minutes in all 3 games at State.  And of course ‘the Beast’ Hannah Lombard - the 5’7” senior post player played tough while in foul trouble and sank the game winning 3 pointer. 

Great job girls. 4 seniors graduating, but lots of good ball players waiting in the wings. I will be shocked if they don’t make it back to the glass house next year to go for #7.

Good luck to your guys next week. Nobody (including myself- LOL) thought Riverdale would go down, so I hope you guys shoot the lights out on Thursday! 

Would be awesome to have 2 golden Balls in Bradley County this year! 

I wanted to go over and watch today but unfortunately couldnt make it. I ended up watching online and was impressed by how composed the Bearettes were when they got behind. Heck of a game from Blair and a heck of a shot by Lombard. Well deserved championship for Bradley in a game not many thought they could win.

Blair was the best player on the court all week.   She carried them all day today.  They never stopped fighting and played a great game.  But that was a TERRIBLE call on the travel in the last possession before the 3.  It was a foul or no call.   As I have stated all year I hate when an official changes the outcome of the game.   That official just so happened to be the same guy that changed the outcome of the Cookeville vs Tullahoma game earlier this year.

Gary Ownby (voice of the Bears & Bearettes) told a great story after the Oak Ridge game last night & it was an amazing parallel. 

He said that when the greatest QB in Tennessee football history concluded his career, not many people thought they would get that close again. But Tee Martin & the 1998 team believed in themselves & won a National Championship. 

People knew Bradley would have a good team this year & win the District & maybe the Region this year, but nobody outside the program thought they would hoist Bradley’s 6th Gold Ball this year, after losing Rhyne Howard. 

Great lesson for all of us!

1, it was a walk

2. The official didn’t make the 3 point shot with 2 seconds left

Finally someone that agrees with me. No need to ask Hannah what the biggest shot of her year great career was? Lol. They proved in state tournament that defense DOES win championships

Replay showed seversl times that she moved her pivot foot, that'll get called every time. I love how the refs let them play physical after Alexis got called for player control foul then Houston did same thing and got away with it. Blair continues to impress. Good thing we get her for 2 more years

Houston will be a great team just because they dethroned Riverdale. I love watching them play. I hope they can play breadley in a Christmas or something. NOW may be Bradley will get the #1 in state ranking when final poll comes out Monday.  I wasnt too far pff on my score prediction either and I said Houston wouldn't score 50 on that defense but nobody believed me

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
