Class A - State Championship Teams

[SuperFan14A]

GC is thankful to get there. It's been a wild year, but up there...anything can happen. We know from experience. Hope the Boro is a packed house, everyone has safe travels, and every player comes out of it healthy. At the end of the day, it's a game played by teenagers who will never forget these types of moments in their life. Go Lady Pioneers!

What time is the drawing. If Huntingdon vs Gibson Co matchup happens has a father vs son game ever happened in the tourney.

Looking forward to the draw. I think the single A tourney will be the most entertaining classification to watch this year. I bet money at least 1 of the “favorites” will be sent him on day 1 due to the draw. As a long time ‘Boro resident, I hope everyone has safe travels.

Draw is at 2:00. Usually by 3:00-3:30 everyone knows what is up? Father son matchup I doubt it.

Pickett County is no joke neither is Gibson County and as we all know once you get to the glass house anything can happen. Good luck to all the teams!

Gibson County is playing well right now and is very thankful and blessed to be there. Gibson County has lost 8 players since November of 2018 that would be in the rotation or starting right now so Coach Wilkins ought to be the coach of the year for developing his talent and getting his girls to play at a high level. He has dealt with four major injuries to his kids since March 2019.  IMO all the pressure is on Greenfield and in a sense Loretto. They have been the talk of the year and very deserving as they are two outstanding teams. Clarkrange will be tough as nails as well. The rest of the field can get hot as well. North Green has beaten South Green and Gatlinburg Pittman this year as well. Looks like 8 pretty good teams to me. Summertown is a team that could have won it too. Very good team that got knocked out by a good Huntingdon team.

Agreed.  Very impressive what GC has been able to accomplish with what all you've lost.

 

True fans realize that anyone can lose.  A soft draw will help a team's cause...  there are a lot of good (pressure) teams in this tournament.  And while a favored team may win a battle in their first round....  They could be pitted against a team they're favored against in round 2, but that team could be fresher because they blew out their first round team and sat their starters in the 3rd period.

Anyone that's a true fan is cautious from being too confident with their words on a message board.  I for one, will not put any Joe Boo on my team! 

Good luck to everyone.  I hope every player makes it through the Tournament healthy!

Ole Bullshark must be living right. I can’t remember any thing in my life that is great or makes you feel good that is a “cakewalk”. Will be interesting to see how everything pans out.  One thing is for sure. There will be 8 pretty good basketball teams for sure. May God bless all players, coaches and fans with good travel and good health. Good luck to you guys and all the teams!!

That looks like a great draw to me. Should be a tournament.

The Cinderella team is Gibson County. Not saying they will but there is 1 game on their schedule (earlier this year) that stands out. The rest will go as expected.

Greenfield 30+

Clarkrange 10+

Loretto 20+

Gibson County is a pick em but if they win it sets up a rematch of last year’s final. I think GC matches up better with Loretto than PC does.

GC has played Loretto the last two years. We played them in Huntingdon in a Christmas Tournament two years ago and played them last year in the finals. So we know them. But Pickett County will be a handful I will assure you. Very fundamental and handle the ball well and always shoote well. Have some good wins this year. Blew Oneida out twice and was a solid number two in their region. Very good team and a great tradition.

Bullshark may be right.

Anyone have a scouting report on Clarkrange? Are they that much better than the rest, other than Greenfield? 

Beat us by 24 and 12 the 2 meetings we had. They’re tough.
