I would bet they will win their Region unless I am missing something and will host the sub-state. We played them last year first game of the year and led by double digits most of the game and won by 7. They had some shooters then. I hadn’t seen them, just been looking at scores this year. Going to be interesting the rest of the way out. Great to have good basketball in the area. Maplewood I think made it last year, but they look down this year.

Yea their whole district & region is down. Whoever we play from the other region will be tough. Page(which made state in AAA) last year, White County, and Upperman will be tough in substate. I hope we can win and host substate. I will take my chances at home

Creekwood won’t be an easy sub-state opponent. Page and Upperman are good. We played Upperman in Lebanon right before the season started.

Exactly! Nobody come tournament time is easy. 1 point victory is the same as a 100 point victory. Yea I seen y’all are playing a lot the best 1A, 2A,3A, and 4A talent! That’s why y’all will be ready for tournament time

I hope so. Gibson County plays the best win lose or draw. Got to dig deep and have that drive. We might lose some more, but as long as we ready for tournaments is all that matters.

Fine line between playing difficult teams too often - kinda wears you down - so it is good and not so good at times - got to have lots of depth which most top teams have but some don’t

Saban plays one of the best teams every year non-conference and still plays the tough SEC and has done well. I see what your saying. Our schedule this year is not as tough as recent years. The Dyersburg’s, Covington’s, Dyer County’s and Greenfield’s are just not as strong this year as years past. We have played worse ball the last two games and have had plenty of rest. I have been fortunate to be around three state championship teams and all three had drive and wanted it. All three teams were  in the gym every time the doors were open working on their game. Never know how it will play out. I know Gibson County probably don’t like losing gate money and will try and reschedule games to make it up.

Great response by Gibson County tonight. Huntingdon came out on an 8-0 run and Wilkins called TO and went off and they came out of the TO looking like a GC basketball team. Went on a 66-28 run and won 66-34. Had maybe 2-3 TO’s all night it seemed. Great bounce back.

Great win and great bounce back. Huntingdon couldnt figure out yalls defensive pressure all night. Madison did a great job taking Lillie Kee  out of the game and GC's zone prevented Sophie Singleton driving to the basket. Great game plan and huge district win for y'all.

Appreciate it. GC looked really focused tonight. Huntingdon a good basketball team. Showed how good they can be by beating South Gibson and winning their Christmas Tournament a couple of weeks ago. They are young with a really bright future.

Livingston Academy will have a say this year as well. They are back to being a contender after beating Upperman tonight.

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.
