This years team not quite as good as that team was. Tyreke was a man and he had a senior laden team around him. They had a better post game for sure and Tyreke got to the rim at will. That team probably beats this years team 6/10 times. Now having said that this Clay County team has only one senior and his last name is NOT Strong. This year Tyreke would have been the best player on the floor up until crunch time. To me that’s where the Strong kid really shows up. Tyreke never really wanted the ball when the game was on the line where as Strong does. Strong has a better perimeter game so he is extremely hard to guard. The Spivey kid is also a junior and at 6’4 he will only get better. Clays post players are sophomores and they are so well coached they get better every year.  Clay is the favorite again this year just like they were that year. IMO if it comes down to the last shot to win or lose like it did with the team Tyreke was on I’m putting my money on Strong to finish it with the win. Put Tyreke on this team and I still want the ball in the hands of Strong when the game is on the line. 

I've saw both teams play and Key was outstanding. Strong is outstanding too. Strong has a very nice touch around the rim. He seems to be harder to guard since he gets so much elevation on his shot. IMO, I believe Clay is set up better this year to win Class A ST than the 2017 team even with underclassmen. Coach Edwards is a class coach.

I agree with this!  CC supporting cast is overall better this year than that runner up team. Defensively it’s night and day , especially at the guard position! it’s not even close. I will say the post play isn’t as good but they are still young. You guys know Defense wins Championships! 
 

If NG doesn’t put schultz on the post in the half court they will get run out of the gym they will need to slow it down and use their size. They know they don’t have anyone that matches up with Strong so if coach doesn’t change up defensive schemes it will be a long morning for the Huskies.

No argument from me. I will pull just as hard for this team as I did that 17’ team.

    • Wanted to see if all of you would lift up Kyle James family in prayer. Kyle was one of the best wrestlers to ever come out of Soddy Daisy and as some of you know he lost his house a few weeks ago and now his family and friends mourns his passing. Not sure if any of you were around in early 2000’s when Kyle was wrestling at Soddy, but he was a 3 time state champ and a Fargo AA along with going to Colorado to train to make the Olympic team. That goal was never reached due to medical issues, but he was an amazing wrestler and his family is as good as gold. If you were around at that time and have any pictures of Kyle, please go onto Alexy Winesburgh FB page and post. Thanks, Doug Benton
    • My opinion the 8 teams will be-  Greenback, Wartburg, Gordonsville, Jo Byrns, Eagleville, Bruceton, Dresden, and South Fulton. Gordonsviile is probably the favorite but I wont say it will be an easy road. With the right draw any of the 8 could win it.
    • I understand Gibson Co. will be announced tomorrow with a familiar name. Not sure about So. Gibson.
    • A huge addition to the staff today! Former Hardin Valley legend and Richmond College running back Aaron Dykes was announced as the running backs coach. Rushed for over 3,000 yards at HVA, with 35 total touchdowns. I loved watching in Hardin Valley. I can’t believe he’s at Bearden now. I know he was trying to get a HVA job, I don’t know what happened there and how he ended up at Bearden, but I'm glad he’s here and believe he will be teaching art class as well! What a good get for the staff!!
    • Thoughts? Gordonsville won it last year with a sophomore pitcher and returned almost everybody. Can anyone beat them?
