District 9-AA 2019-2020

[Beamerball]

So much for turning the season around,White House just lost to Westmoreland in 1st round. Season over. Nobody in this district can win the region imo, Sycamore might win 1 game but I just don’t see them winning more than that.

That is insane. Gotta give Westmoreland credit. I agree it’ll be hard for Sycamore or any other 9-AA team to win more than a game in region but just like we saw tonight anything can happen come tournament time! Good luck to the rest of the teams in the district tourney!

WH PG was trying to dribble out the clock, tied 42-42 and he got rippppppped at half court. Westmoreland took the ball and scored on an and1. 
WH had the play on Instagram but pulled it 

Tough loss

Yep heck of a play by 13. They kind of slowed the pace down and WH had a off night.

Right. Any of us who played high school basketball I am sure feel bad for a team full of seniors to have their season cut "short."  Give all the credit to Westmoreland, Only winning what like 4 games all year to this point. Big win for their program.  Keeping it real, Sycamore now the only team left that has a chance to win a region game. I highly doubt the other side will allow games to be in the high 30's and low 40's. If this district ever wants to compete in the region, they need to open up the game, shoot the three, and be able to survive up tempo game styles and pressure.  This district continues to just play slow old school basketball, which allows them to beat each other in the district. Sadly that's where district 9AA's train ends. The District Tournament.

^^ This right here! Coaching isn’t good enough to overcome the overall talent discrepancy between 9AA and 10AA. Talent isn’t good enough to force a change.

I agree 100 percent and it’s boring. Cheatham had a few teams that could compete and actually made sectionals 2 yrs in a row but since then nothing. 
  If 10aa sweeps I wouldn’t be surprised. Sycamore still has Point guard issues to me, and increased tempo and pressure will make it worse.

Cheatham upset the 3 seed Heritage tonight by 3 in overtime! This tournament is already off to an interesting yet crazy start!

Those were GREAT Cheatham teams. Had some athleticism, and a GREAT shooter. And one of the hardest working, hard nosed kids I seen play around here in a young Douglas back then. I also believe they had a quick as a cat point guard on those teams.

Cheatham is well coached. Always dangerous in tournament. Now opportunity to make championship with the westmoreland upset, and possibly win with home court, and if you don’t know, you should know. When those Cheatham schools get together it is a war.

Refs called a 2nd delay of game with 20sec left after a made Heritage bucket to put WHH up by 2. Cheatham made both FT's to tie the game and also got the ball. They were unable to score, but fouled Heritage on the rebound with .01 seconds left.

Heritage post player at the line... 1 and 1 for the win! Clank.

Game went to overtime. Cheatham closed the deal with a corner 3 with about a minute left.
