Upperman over GP by 17 59-42. On to the next round.

Kinda thought it would go that way after seeing a lot of the team from the East, did you know that Meigs has played in substate 4 years in a row and two of those years, the team they lost to has went on to win the state, so that could be a good omen for Upperman.

Happy for the Upperman girls representing region 3AA so well with the adversity they've been though after the F4 tornado.  I hope it it's a region 3AA final between Macon and Upperman.

I believe it's region 4AA!

You're correct. They beat region 3AA champ Meigs in a sectional game.

The girls from the East put up a valiant fight. No one thought all year Gatlinburg would make it out of their Region and definitely never a pick to make it to Murfreesboro. Their #30 was the best player on the floor in that game. No questions. 
 

Grainger will continue to be a favorite from this area to make it back down as they lose one starter and no one else who saw significant minutes. My pick for next year is Greeneville! I hope they’re team two from over here. Northview and Alcoa will definitely be in the mix though. 
 

Proud of all the East TN teams and will keep rooting on all of our girls!

I watched just over half of this game online. Not sure I agree with you on 30 being the best player on the floor. I do not even remember which one she was. What were her stats? I know Hurst from UHS had 21 points 3 rbs and 2 assist. Johnson from UHS freshman non starter had 16 points 9 rebounds. When you say best player. Did she have a bunch of assist and do a great job involving her team mates? Or did she have 2/3 of there total points? What does best player on the floor no question mean?

18 points and 11 rebounds from media on Twitter. Whole game ran through her. Struggled first half, was doubled, but still they didn’t get her enough touches and shots. Scored 18 in the second half. When I say best player I mean most talented, best player. Hurst is very good. She just does not have the same or near as good of skill set. Her team is better definitely. Taking nothing away from her. Bales from Gatlinburg, 30, was just extremely impressive to me in that second half and is a better overall player.

Everyone okay with just going ahead and giving Macon the gold ball here at halftime? Assuming tourney will be cancelled/postponed after today.

Spoke too soon. But I say we can still go ahead and give it to them.

LOL! If you think they have earned anything yet you sir do not know sports. Just sit back and watch Westview do their thing.
