MBA beat Summit Tuesday night.  And finished ahead of Summit in the Ryan Tournament.

Yeahhh looking at the box score. It wasnt near the same lineup they had for FR. 

 

This point in the season, against a team they wouldnt see in the post season. Its clear the dual didnt really mean a whole lot. 

 

Unless you're suggesting MBA has a better team than Father Ryan?

Why is anyone crying about starters being out of the lineup or where they are ranked at this time of the year?  The only time anyone should care about rankings is the last rankings of the season and unless you win a state championship you lost and the difference between 2nd and 8th really doesn’t matter.  Unless a team is extremely fortunate they will all have to deal with injuries throughout the season.

Bradley is gonna get a couple more shots at cleveland this year. This was supposed to have been then year that they would beat them. If it doesn’t happen this year it won’t happen again for at least 5 years and that’s being modest. The atmosphere last night was nuts. 

Agreed on the atmosphere.  Just amazing for a high school match. Bradley may be able to flip 220 and HWT but those are probably the only ones.  One issue is that Bradley’s 3 hammers typically get them 18 points against most teams but against Cleveland they only got 11 last night.  Barring  Cleveland injuries, everything would have to go perfect for Bradley to get the upset … but that’s why they wrestle the matches.

No.  They may well be though, we'll know at the state tournament.  Ryan was missing 3-4 starters against Summit.  Summit may have been missing some too.  Just pointing out the absurdity of pre tournament rankings.  Makes for interesting board banter, but it will all shake out at state.

195 could easily gone the other way too and could be flipped, based on what I watched.

    • We played South Side this summer and it went into OT and we lost on a last second shot. I thought our girls handled their pressure as well as we have in a while and that is the reason I think we will have a really good ball handling team. South Gibson will have their hands full with Dyersburg and South Gibson has never beat South Side. Back to what I was saying South Gibson needs another ball handler especially if they have to play South Side in a do or die game and handle their pressure. As far as who wins our Region, it will be must see basketball for sure and like I said I like our team. I like your team as well. Huntingdon is loaded 5 in and 5 out and you got a great Junior High Team. Huntingdon Fans are going to have a whole lot of fun the next 5 or 6 years. Loretto is really good this year. I got to watch them in Brentwood. They got a Freshman Guard that can go. Going to be a fun year. 
    • After seeing Southside this summer I think they will be better than last season.  Seems that the big three Southside, South Gibson and Dyersburg will be the region favorites once again.  In 2A Gibson County is the favorite in that region with a toss up between Westview and Union City.  I think Memphis Business and Gibson Co will represent the west this season.  I think that Westviews run to glass house may end.
    • South Gibson better get ready to battle in the deep end because South Side and Dyersburg will be a challenge. They will have to beat Dyersburg in the District Finals to avoid South Side in the Region. South Gibson better find another guard that can handle pressure and score to take pressure off of Dunn. They need to learn to score to take it to another level. They scored 29 and only lost by 7 last year at state. As far as Westview and Union City, they will be pretty good but Gibson County might have the best ball handling team we have had in a while this year with four guards on the floor with 3 PG's. We have 3 seniors with tons of experience. I really love this team this year. Looks like Westview lost out to the girl from Florida to USJ. Unless something happens they will have 1 player back with meaningful minutes. I know they will be competitive for sure but they will have their hands full. 
    • South Gibson drags you to the deep end and makes you like it. Tough group that communicates and really seems to love competing.  Union City will be improved but don't know how they handle nights were Moss doesn't go off.  South Side is fast and athletic but I don't think they're as good as last year.  Westview girls will be better later in the season because they are depending on folks that haven't done it yet.  Westview may lose a district game but they'll be the 1 seed over UC.  South Gibson beats Dyersburg for that district. South Side runs Jackson again. 
    • Jasper got insulted like MASE and SP did.    TOP 10 Division I Class 2A Sch. Rank 1. Milan (13-2) 10 2. Bledsoe County (11-2) 14 3. Marion County (13-2) 19 4. Huntingdon (10-3) 5 5. Westmoreland (10-3) 6 6. York Institute (11-3) 9 7. East Robertson (10-2) 30 8. Fairley (11-1) 43 9. Jackson Central-Merry (9-3) 20 10. Summertown (8-3) 26
