Class A top teams so far

How did Vujicic do tonight? She has been doing an excellent job with the 3s the last few games! Great help to Darby and possibly a standout once Darby graduates.

Hard to believe only Greenfield or Gleason will be at state. Greenfield playing better ball right now but Gleason has some good victories. Wouldn’t be surprised if all four in 13 A win first round of Region.

Not that hard to believe. Dresden is playing really good and is really young. Probably not where people picked them but West has done a terrific job getting them ready. Bradford is also good, have been super close on wins over Dresden and Gleason. This district was super tough this year.

Dresden with easier route to state than Greenfield or Gleason. They played GC tough early in the year for a while. Dresden is a good team no doubt.

How many points did Edie Darby have against Dresden ? Lady Vol guards are not very good. She might be able to help them.

Guessing 25-28. Maybe more. She had a really good game.

33, she’s a good player but playing D-1 at the SEC level for a 5’4 inch guard will be real tough if she is on the main roster.

McKenzie may not even get there. Don’t discount Houston Co./Wayne Co./Huntland/Moore Co. I realize Gleason beat Huntland at Christmas but crazy things happen at Christmas tourneys. This time of year you better bring your A game every night, no matter who you are. What does Mahs look like? 

I believe we can discount at least 3 of those teams.  Houston Co. can't handle the pressure that McKenzie plays with on defense and I don't see them fairing any better than they did in the regular season or district tournament matchups.  Only 1 of those 3 Region 5 teams will be the runner-up so McKenzie won't face the other 2 so we can rule them out.  Concern for McKenzie are the weak district opponents but Wilkins toughened up their schedule with games against the top teams in the state (Westview, Gibson Co.) in any division so I believe they can handle anything Region 5 brings.

Remains to be seen. I seem to remember Vandy signing a little guard from Gleason that nobody thought could cut it in the SEC... Ashley was a standout on the Commadore team that was ranked top 5 in the country for much of her time there.

I not so sure she won’t be on the floor in Knoxville at some point. Their PG play hasn’t been good in a while. She may get out there and make them all look bad in practice.

I wouldn't be surprised if  Houston County made it all the way to the state tournament. They are a very dangerous basketball team.

Camden beat them pretty good at their place, 15 or so, which got my attention because HC has played McKenzie pretty close a couple of times.

Dresden will be in championship of The region, I was impressed by Dresden last night.  
What if district 13 sweeps the other district  would the region be moved back to UTM?
