I'm taking GC to win at least one of the meetings with Westview.

The tournaments will be the most important. Don’t think Union City or Huntingdon can beat either but I believe Stewart County can on a given night. They are a good fundamental guard heavy basketball team. Gibson County and Westview will go to the wire every meeting, IMO.

I give the edge to GC on the head to head matchups with Westview.  I think Wilkins is great at one game scenarios.  They may split the home/home games.  More than likely play each other for the district and region championship.  It is sad that only two of the four teams from Westview, GC, Loretto, and Summertown will get to go to the 'Boro.  Two really good teams will have to go home.  That will be a tough pill to swallow.

GC likes to play fast but is real good playing slow too. Do think a lot of these big games will be ugly defensive wars where points are very hard to come by. First team to 40 wins type of games. Think there will be lots of really good defense in the gyms.

Yes that's tough because all 4 have been there the past few years

Makes it harder to swallow when you already know that two subpar teams will be there.

Scotts Hill, Decatur County and Adamsville I would say has a shot. Will be interesting how it shakes out. Memphis getting three districts is BS and making West TN teams go to Middle TN for Tournaments is BS. Memphis ought to have two districts. You never can tell what they will do. May not even play.

Don't think we do...if we're competitive (for district title) it may be Chandler's best coaching job yet. We cycled through a group of Seniors that were together from middle school, without help from the next class or two. What we have left is a good group of underclassmen. In a season or two we should be tough to handle, and should have good talent from every class for several years, but tough sledding for a while.

Scotts Hill, Adamsville, and Decatur County have all played in the old AA district with Southside, Lexington, Chester County, and McNairy for four years.  I think they are all battle tested and ready for any of the Memphis region and substate teams.  The big question is, will they play this year?  I know that our new district has reached out to them and there has been no response from the girls or boys sides about scheduling or tournaments sites if no satellite games.  Who knows?

I keep hearing that the TSSAA is going to keep the 4 classification system or maybe even go to the 5 classification system after this cycle.  I think the 4 classes will stay, I'm not sure about the 5 just yet.

Wilkins has had Haskins number over the past few years in there matchups. Going to be some great games.
