Who are the top teams? I think it’s clear SGC may be a region favorite. Haven’t seen anything of liberty. Haywood and bolivar played last night. Both should be good. Not sure how many players haywood has out for football but I only saw a halftime score. I expect for boys to be down this year on this side of the state with West Carroll, Milan, and Peabody losing key players. I think JSSHS lost everyone and JNSHS lost a good chunk too.

I saw South Gibson in their play day. they looked okay. Did you see their game last night? I went to TCA Chester.  Chester has a lot of potential. TCA looks really good. Coach Williams Son is a player.

No I watched my nephew play. Union City vs Crockett. Just saw the SGC score and thought it was impressive they doubled up Peabody even though they don’t have the football kids. 
yes dexter’s son is really good. He’s going to build a contender in D2-A soon

McKenzie only lost one from last year so the boys should be pretty good again.

It was probably the game of the year and was only opening night. Neither team great. I don’t know how many UC football players are missing from the basketball team. Crockett hit a 3 to go up 1 with 15-20 seconds left.
Both teams play under control for the most part. Neither overly athletic or big.

Crockett returns a bunch of kids. They will be really good. If Union city played them that tough they are going to be good also.

South Side appears to be in total rebuild while North Side must be good.

Haywood is going to be good. Extremely fun to watch. Tough defense. Their point guard is very good.

I went to the South Gibson vs Dyersburg game Friday night. Dyersburg may be one of the biggest teams this season. Their 6'8" post kid is pretty good. They have another 6'5" or 6'6" kid that starts and sort of plays both in and out. And, another 6'4" or so kid off the bench. Their guards are strong! The kid that went to Dyer county and is now back at Dyersburg is legit. He is a game changer. Dyersburg won by 15 but the game was much closer than that. Dyersburg is better than South Gibson but not 15 points better, I say around 6-12

South Gibson was down 3 at half. They play super hard and played man the entire game. Not the typical South Gibson team. They really guard you and they didn't make 3's. in the past they played a lot of zone and made a lot of 3's.  I felt like they may be able to shoot it better than they did that night and if they made more 3's the game ends different.  I think they will get better as the year goes on. 

I'm going to see them again tomorrow night because I want to see the Girls game.

Happy to see Dburg getting some love. Their defense is legit and caused all kinds of problems for the Hornets and I feel their height forced SG to live on the perimeter as they took more shots from three (22) than inside the arc (13).
