I was there last night as well.    Was a great game.   Darby is as skilled with the ball as anyone I’ve seen in a while.  Thought the Thompson girl did as good of a job at making it difficult on her as you can.  But she still got her points.   And the supporting cast is better than expected. The guards for GC are as good of a 1-2 punch from a freshman and sophomore as you are going to see.  Athletic, fast and don’t turn it over.    And Madison Hart is as dominant in the post as anyone you will see.  Just got to get ball to her.  I’m gonna go ahead and say we will see these 2 in region championship for third year in a row.   UC will be tough but not sure they will be there.

I have watched girls basket for 50+ years. Weathers from Loretto is the best all around ball player from middle tennessé that I have ever seen. All she needs is for someone to inbound the ball for her. If Loretto has above average talent on the starting roster with her, I believe they will be a succesful candidate for Class A Champions for 2020-2021.

I donot live in Loretto.

Loretto is good but can they beat Summertown?? Summertown is loaded. I think they can but Summertown might be the best team in the state.

I did. Great game. Gibson County was up 10 at half and led by as many as 14 in the second half but Edie Darby is a beast. They cut it to two with a minute left but Gibson County hit FT’s to secure it.  Haley Thompson guarded her and did great but she still had 21 or so. Micah Hart didn’t turn the ball over not once which is fabulous. Thought Gibson County should have got the ball to Madison more. Credit to Greenfield’s defense but we have to get it to her quicker sometimes and more often. When she got the ball she was productive. Evyn Cantrell had a great night with 20 or so and hit money FT’s late. Regan McVay had a big 8 points or so and took a couple of big charges. But overall, I was a little worried about our young girls handling the pressure but they were fabulous handling it. Greenfield got into foul trouble early. Let’s keep in mind Gibson County attacks the rim whether it be with Madison Hart, Micah Hart or Evyn Cantrell while Greenfield was shooting the three mostly. Greenfield is going to be a handful late as is Gibson County. Greenfield is better than I thought they would be. Edie is a Division 1 player and showed it last night. Impossible to guard all night with 1 person. And their post play is better than I thought. I do think they are dangerous enough to make a deep run. Well coached as well. I sat behind their bench. I expect Gibson County and Greenfield will lose some because of tough schedules but will be tough outs late.

Who starts for the Jackets? Who guarded Madison? I know Biggs plays undersized in the post but she is a tough cookie.

Summertown loses to AAA Stewart’s Creek 75-62 - hopefully be learning experience 

It will. Heard last night Stewart’s Creek is really good. I am very proud of Gibson County right now. Beat a USJ team that is loaded with talent. They have as much talent in their program on paper as Gibson County did two years ago. They are loaded in HS and Jr. High. USJ played their hearts out last night. GC won by 4. GC’s big three along with great defensive play from role players and bench players have them ahead of schedule IMO as they are undefeated. They beat a Dyersburg team by 12 that will be a force later but are not playing their best ball right now. Madison Hart and Evyn Cantrell have been great but Micah Hart has hit the ground running as a freshman. Really special player. As we know Single A has some outstanding teams in Summertown, Loretto, Clarkrange, Gibson County, Pickett County, Union City and Greenfield that will all make a strong run at the Gold Ball. Thankful to the good Lord that we have seen some great basketball and have got to play and enjoy these games.

Went to see Gibson County Saturday and they are a very talented basketball team. Obviously Madison Hart is the engine that starts the car, but Micah Hart exceeded the expectations I had for her, she's gonna be the next great Gibson County guard. I think once the younger players get more experience, the shots start falling (Madison is gonna see double teams all year long) and continue to value taking care of the basketball, only a major snafu will keep them from Murfreesboro.

Guy from USJ was talking last night and said y’all lost 5 seniors last year and we didn’t beat you. I said it kinda helps when you have a point guard that is the best ball handler we have had since Heather Butler. Micah plays like a Freshman in college rather than a freshman in HS. She can jump out of the gym and super athletic. Unbelievable talent. She had 16 last night and 22 against Dyersburg. Evyn Cantrell, Micah and Madison Hart all had 40 point games in Jr. High. Wilkins is one of the best defensive coaches maybe ever in the state and he has a PG that don’t turn it over and a post that can put 40 on you in a heartbeat. I knew the formula would be a winning one but I even thought their would be some growing pains especially with Covid and still believe there will be some but obviously they have not let us down.

Gibson County is my pick! I hate we didn’t get to play Gibson County in their Thanksgiving tournament this year. I look forward to this game every year! Always a good game between Gibson County & Jackson South Side! It will be fun to watch for at least 4 or 5 more years! We are loaded with nothing but lower classmen. Both coaches are class acts & I love it. Gibson County we will see y’all in Murfreesboro! Hopefully we can finish this year! Prayers to everyone, hope all student athletes stay healthy!

    • 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
