Not happening. As it turned out Lincoln County must have been the 2 weakest team in the field they only lost by 1…

Apparently. I think LC would have beat them 3 outta 5 easily. Maybe LC is more talented than I gave them credit. I felt like LA got a lucky win on a last second bucket. It’ll be interesting to see LA going forward.

The way the game was called they allowed a lot of handchecking in aggressive play up top which played right into the game of southside. Upperman was never able to overcome the guard pressure by southside, which I knew would be a problem for us if they called it loose now. They call it tight different ball game but Best team won on the floor and that’s all that counts 

This your way of making an excuse without making an excuse hahaha

Kids are not garbage. What an embarrassment today to be from Greeneville/Greene County.

Greeneville once had a 16-point lead. That's the real story. Blaming the officiating takes away from the fine Livingston team and their gutsy comeback.

Looking back and hindsight is 20/20 Upperman looked pretty good running at a better pace. Know you said and obviously the coach thought they could win a game in the 30’s, but Upperman might have done better playing a little faster. JMO.

You need to get out of West Tennessee and come to the UpperCumberland where there is more gold and silver than anywhere else in the state in girls basketball. Upperman takes a backseat to nobody. They are the reigning state champions and they have beaten southside on the floor when it counted and until then they are still the state champions and they will be at the state tournament. Let’s just find out how good Southside is but until they win, don’t crown them just yet. I get they’ve beaten up on all the cupcakes in West Tennessee but now they have to play real competition. There are four teams in district 7 that could have easily went undefeated with that schedule.

Our guards needed to handle the ball little bit better than they did but a lot of the credit goes to south sides players. They basically enforce their will and Upperman‘s guards were not able to handle the pressure that they put on the wall. The freshmen will get a lot of experience from that and they will be better for it. Upperman is loaded and will undoubtedly be back.
now having said that, you don’t just replace an Abigail Johnson, but she’s had a great career. She’s a state champion and a great player. But the future is very bright for this program they will continue to compete for a state championship year in and year out.

I stand by everything I said. Southside has not won a state championship yet. This Upperman team has a gold ball already. I wouldn’t be putting myself on the back just yet.

No inside presence to replace her right? Do that middle championship team have any size? #24 will be a very big loss next year

We played Upperman this summer Varsity and JV and their JV is loaded. They will be tough a while I would bet.

Pretty dominate win for that team out of the west with the cupcake schedule.. 

I wouldn't call it dominant. I watched in the stands and wondered many times if SS would throw it away. They finally got it together late in third. This is coming from a Hogeye fan who roots for LA and whoever is playing Upperman
