A very good chance.

Absolutely. AAA is wide open, IMO. I think the AAA State Tournament might be the most balanced in a long time.

Who’s would you say top 3 in 3A?

If Crouch keeps making threes Upperman will have have a great chance. That’s a huge difference maker for the Bees

Man it is a crap shoot. We have played Upperman, Grainger, South Gibson twice and South Side in this years class. Greenville is good. Watched them this summer in Murfreesboro. Page is obviously good. Creekwood is pretty good. Played them opening night last year. South Side’s defense is some kind of tough to score on. It is so balanced it is hard to pick.

Upperman on a different level right now, thinking the state tournament was just held at Tennessee Tech.

My pick from the get go they just now getting fired up good.

I had them picked to win the district and they will go deep before this is over.

Championship Bound: Lady Devils Use Defense To Take Down Upperman 44-42 (grsportsnews.com)

I posted a link to the game Greeneville and Upperman played in the Ladies Classic in Greeneville this season. It was a defensive game.

Abigail Johnson was held to four points in that game. If the two teams meet again, she will be the key to the outcome. I first watched her play two years ago, in the same tournament, and was amazed that she was only a freshman. She's smooth as silk in the paint.

Edit: Lots of pictures of both teams in the article.

Greeneville always has good teams this year is no exception. Any competition over there to make it to the state?

Strongest competition is Grainger, who just lost to Greeneville. Both teams have excellent coaches. They could wind up playing each other again. If Lauren Bailey can continue to have strong games, Gville will be tough to beat. The odds are in favor of Greeneville making it to state, in my opinion. Dark horses are Cocke County and Sullivan East.
