Watched the Upperman game on NFHS. It was really wasn't the contest I thought it would be. I will say the PG for Elizabethton is good. They had no answer at all for Johnson.

Abigail Johnson is one of the best players you will see in this tournament. I first saw her play in Greeneville when she was a freshman. She played like a senior. Now a junior, she's smooth and quick in the paint. 

The only way Greeneville beat Upperman this season was because they figured out a way to hold her to four points.

She almost single handed out scored Elizabethton

Fayette Ware gave Creekwood all they wanted. They are a young team too and will be back next year I'm sure!!

Personally I thought Upperman has been playing a lot better on defense than it showed today but I have to remind myself Lizbethton is pretty dang good!  Great win for the Lady Bees. One game at a time!  Playing teams like White County 3x Livingston Academy 2-3x Greeneville,Oakland etc… prepares you for these games. AAA is going to be one tough division year in and year out. White County and Livingston will be forces to deal with. Putnam County’s middle school programs are loaded with talent. Now you add Page to the region and it’s tough sledding. So we are going to have some wars over here to even make it to the glass house!

page will be in that region and district one more year and they will move up they are growing and will not be in AAA basketball.  I am hoping them and Spring Hill are added to our district so we can get a five team district with franklin county, coffee county, Shelbyville, Warren county, page and Spring Hill.

Facts! Upperman defense wasn’t at its best today. They played well overall, but they have another gear defensively that they didn’t hit today.

Yeap they will definitely be back next year.

Betsy guards have pretty good handles; makes the press less effective.  Oddest thing about this game, I don't think Betsy shot a FT the whole game.  Pretty sure I've never seen a game where a team never went to the line.
