Monday Feb 28, 2022: Tough night of Region 6AAA Semi Final action in Jackson.

First game saw South Side get a win over McNairy. McNairy was game and played hard, showed heart and did everything they could. Coach Jerry Lott, in his 45th year at McNairy is a class act in defeat.

Second game was a total dog fight. Medina (SG) did miss their point guard. She broke her fibula when scrambling for a loose ball. I happened to be sitting about 5 feet away from the scrum and was difficult to see. She was sitting right behind us on the next row the following night and fortunately for her, the doctors said she has about a 6 week recovery time.

Hardin County came to play. They played tenacious D, fought for rebounds, took high percentage shots in the post, knocked down 3's and made free throws. That spelled defeat for Medina.

This sets up what should be an outstanding Region 6AAA final.

South Side comes in looking to keep its state title hopes alive.

Hardin County comes in with a trainload of momentum after beating Medina.

The irresistible force and the immovable object.

Gonna be a classic.

If you're a fan of ladies high school basketball, gets your tickets early. It should be a sellout!

If I am not mistaken isn’t the post for Hardin County a UTM signee?? We played them in our jamboree and South Gibson did too. Hardin County is a pretty good team, but they will have the big task of handling South  Side’s pressure. Ought to be interesting.

First off, congratulations to South Side on the region championship.  Hardin County didn't back down and the game was more competitive than the final score indicates.  Two things to ponder going forward...SS got away with some obvious two-hand checks all night that were never called.  The ref crew in this game are regulars in the HC district and they probably have no idea what a hand-check foul is.  I don't think SS will get to be that hands on in the 'Boro (Refs from middle and east TN call games way different than in the west).  The other thing is the HC big had perhaps her worst game of the season and it wasn't due to SS's defense.  She got slapped with her second foul early in the 2nd and it took her completely out of her game mentally.  If SS runs into a post who can dribble then they will not be able to play their press defense.  SS help defense is weak at best.  Once the 4th quarter got to the 4 min mark and SS started dribbling out the clock with a 15 point lead, it looked like HC backed off and decided to save legs for Saturday's matchup with Creekwood.  Should be some entertaining games on Saturday.

Guess we was at a different South Side/Hardin Co. game

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
