Gibson County and McKenzie play Tuesday and it will be a lightning fast pace. Place ought to be filled up because it will be a war.

Gibson county is definitely the heavy favorite at home in this matchup. They didn’t lose anyone from last year and have one of the best post players in the state surrounded by multiple battle tested guards who have a high basketball IQ and can all shoot it. Mckenzie’s pressure won’t bother Gibson County. Wilkins will have them ready to roll. I’m not sure McKenzie will score much more than 40 against their defense. GC is a lot further along than McKenzie. I say GC by 15 +.

Heavy favorite? it be will a lot closer ball game than you think.  We have one of the best players in class A who is surrounded by quick feisty guards that love to turn teams over. Remember We beat Gibson county at GC last year 63 to 60. Our girls are fired up to play this game and it has been circled on the schedule before the season started. It will be a fast paced high scoring game. Our last two games we have scored 76 and 63 points. The lady rebels average 62 points a game while we are giving up 40 points a game. Gibson county and McKenzie are two top dogs in the area right now and it will be a great matchup.

If am Gibson County I get out on the three point line and try to take away the three. They go around me that’s fine but they are not going to beat me shooting three’s  Same with South Gibson. Now that may be easier said than done.And yes I remember y’all beating us well last year. McKenzie a great team and GC will have their hands full. McKenzie likely top two or three team in state when rankings come out. I don’t make predictions any more but I do like how GC is playing right now.

The thing with us is that our offense is drive and kick and pass and cut. We have played great defensive teams such as Greenfield and Union City and they were unable to stop the drive. But Gibson county will be the best all around team we have played so far. Post play is my obvious concern Tuesday and defending Madison will be the toughest tasks for me personally. We have played two quality posts so far in Lillie kee and Sophie Singleton and we did a decent job defending those two, but Madison Hart is another level (especially given her improvement shooting the 3 and driving to the basket). Of course we have a short bench and staying out of foul trouble will be a must.  On the other side Gibson County must do like you said and be to able to keep us in front defensively which will be a tough task but I think yall have the guard play  and are disciplined enough to be able to do that. The team that doesn't turn the ball over the most will win the game. 

my rankings so far in single A: 1. McKenzie 2. Clay county 3. Clarkrange  4. Wayne county 5. Gleason 6. Houston County

Good list. If Brooklyn Anderson comes back keep an eye on North Green. She is a game changer and they have enough players around her to make a serious run if she comes back. Pickett County has done some good things as well. It wouldn’t suprise me to see McKenzie and Clay County for the Gold Ball, but Wayne County and Clarkrange are not to be looked over either.

I forgot about Pickett County, we have a girl at Bethel that starred there, really good program. Hearing good things about Clarkrange even after the twins graduated. Haven't caught film on Clay County but saw Wayne county play Summertown earlier this year. Baugus for Wayne is a player and very aggressive, also some very high basketball IQ guards on that team. Houston County in our district will be a challenge.

GC by 10+ at home, high scoring game imo. Davis will get her points but the Hart girls will be too much to handle.

we put 83 on the board tonight without the starters playing the last 4 minutes of the 3rd and entire 4th quarter. I think the game will be in the high 60's to low 70's as well.

I’m gonna say GC by 10-15.   Mckenzie is a good team.  I think GC is on another level.  Guards offset each other but mckenzie has no answer for Madison Hart.    Kudos to these team for scheduling this game. 2 of top 3 teams in West Tn   

McKenzie is really good. They outrebounded us 2-1. Shot the lights out first three quarters. Not as good in the 4th. Going to take a really good performance to beat them in Single A. The Davis girl is big time. They got shooters all over. We won by 4 in a dogfight. They are my number 1 team in Single A with Clay County number 2.

Great win against a really good team!

    • 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.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year.
