Gracie Dodgen Hit 15 3s And the team had 24 3s in a 101-42 win over Kingston. There were some school records broken. maybe state for a single game.

White County now holds the STATE record with the most made 3's in a girls game(24) AND a boys game with 31. Awesome for White County !!!

Gracie had 15 by the 3rd quarter.

There is an article in the Tennessean on Gracie's record. The previous State record was 14 3's made in a game. Gracie was 15 of 26 from 3 point range last night. She scored 45 points breaking a White County record of 42 points in a single girls game back in 72-73. Congrats on her record setting night.

She definitely shot it really well.  Not sure what the Kingston “defense” was thinking.  They were helping off her and left her open all night.  She didn’t have anyone within 6 ft of her for 75% of her shots.  It was crazy.  But I am not a fan of chasing records like that.  It’s not respectful to the other team at all.  Starters in the entire 3rd quarter up 45-50 pts in the third?  Seriously?  But to be honest that’s on Kingston.  I don’t think they got close to touching her all night.  I have said it several times. Gracie is the best shooter in middle TN and probably the state.  But that wasn’t real basketball.    That was more like a shooting drill.

Please allow my edit." is the best set-shooter in middle TN and probably the state". more fair statement.

No I feel my statement is accurate.  She is very good on a catch and shoot.  She is even better on a catch and shoot with 6ft space.  But she is really good on curls and pop outs.  That’s what’s crazy about last night.  She didn’t have to do anything else except stand there and wait for the ball!   But when they play teams like Cookeville, Clarkrange, and Stone, she won’t get those shots because they won’t leave her to help.   So WC will run her through 2-3 screens and she will have to shoot off the move.  She had 26 OPEN looks last night.   I don’t remember one forced shot!  That’s the crazy thing from last night.

    • From my understanding, Jay Graham pretty much took over HC responsibilities in that game, so you can thank him. Cute Andy didn’t need help, though. Cute Andy could’ve beaten us without any assistant coaches.
    • Tax payer dollars are paid for certified teachers to "teach" and then coach. The primary job is to teach.  There are some district that ay awesome supplements and others that don't. Dyersburg and Dyer County are pretty close if I remember correctly. I would imagine that Football and basketball are above $10,000 now.  I've heard that Milan is $20,000 for boys basketball. I would imagine that football is more than that in Milan.  Collierville has camps that coaches get paid extra for. 3 camps a year, 100 kids a camp, $30,000 right there.  There are places like Memphis-Shelby County schools where the supplements are garbage even for the head coaches. I made less than $3,000 as the head assistant at Germantown in 2015 when we were 26-4 and one of the best teams in the Southeast. As a head middle school coach next year I will make between $4-5,000 at a municipal in Shelby County.  Coaches should be compensated for the jobs that are required but lets keep in mind that they are educators first.  It's pretty frustrating to other teachers that work their tale off teaching 6-7 classes a day to watch someone roam campus, not teach (or have very minimal responsibilities), and get paid the same (more with supplements) as a person who has the some years of experience or sometimes less. 
    • This will get coaches leaving the profession very quickly if this kid wins this case. This is absurd...
