Clay County loses to Trousdale County by 8 for a play in game. That's the beauty of tournament play, you can throw out records and have a new beginning. Clay had just beaten Clarkrange a few weeks ago. Eagleville upset them last year in the sub-state as well. You have to bring it every night.

So is it the Pickett County Clarkrange show now? I had Clay County as a sleeper especially after they beat Clarkrange. I had Clarkrange and Pickett both making the state.

It's tournament time. I hope Clarkrange makes it thru but you just don't ever know. I think everyone can be beat. I think everyone has a shot. All it takes is one bad game by a team and the whole tournament gets turned around. Clay is a very good team and well coached. Hate to see them go home. Congrats to Trousdale girls. They played hard and deserved the win the game. Good luck to everyone left in the tournament. We will see how it shakes out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope and pray for all girls to stay healthy and be at full strength moving forward. That has been a big challenge for us since state last year. Clarkrange and Pickett County have had solid years though from just looking at schedules. I agree basketball is a crazy game. An underdog hits two or three threes, favorites misses a few and best player gets a couple of fouls and it’s a dogfight. Other than Greenfield, I expect every game to be wide open and most games very likely to go to the wire in West TN.

Too many variables to predict a straight up winner most of the time. I know we have had our share of unexpected losses. Gotta play every game every minute. Can't take anything for granted. We have Red Boiling tomorrow night and I expect them to give us all we want. As you, I am praying for injury free tournaments for all players. Be safe and good luck to you Pioneer. Hope we both end up watching our teams at Murphy Center Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. We haVe been saying all year the District Champion had an easier route to Murfreesboro. Summertown will have it tougher. Huntingdon game will be interesting. That one will go to the wire, IMO. Edited February 23, 2020 by pioneer42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are right, that will be a great matchup. Huntingdon has good size and speed, but their shooting has been up and down. Summertown is as solid as any team in the state and their shooting is always solid. If that matchup happens, Huntingdon will need to win it with defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huntingdon actually had a four or five point lead late and let it get away. I agree Fuller and Co. have to step their defense up to another level and handle the ball to play with Summertown. I will give Summertown a slight edge because it is close to home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mas1821 Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Summertown is much better this year. Tourney time is tricky. It could definitely be a close game, but I see Summertown winning by 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
