McMinn Central                      67

Gatlinburg Pittman                59

 

I am concerned about the matchup. Chargerettes will have to shoot well from beyond the arc to win this one.

This will be an interesting matchup to say the least. I have watched GP most of the year. They are a very balanced team (seasoned posts and talented guards) that is well coached. GP also has a lot of recent experience at the state tournament and that cannot be overlooked. Their defense is very solid and multiple (different presses, man to man, and zones mixed). After watching a few McMinn Central games on film, I feel like I just described them in my GP analysis. All of the above applies to MC, too. Haha!  Each team has a standout player #30 for GP and #5 for MC. I believe it will be a classic game between two good teams. I truly think it could go either way.

Stopping #5 for McMinn Central is a task, just as I'm sure it is stopping #30 for G-P.  McMinn Central's "other" girls can kill you if G-P doubles #5.  
Both teams earned their way here, though I think G-P had the tougher road getting here with their stronger district and region. Should be a great game.

For a team without a single senior I wonder how strong mcminn central will be next year! I went to both county and Central, so I'm proud of both of my former schools

I think Central will be the preseason favorite to win it all next year, especially with two incoming freshmen stars who just won a Middle School State Championship,

Neither team played great, but it made for a good game.

And those are just the englewood girls, ton of talent from mtn view as well. Usually girls from Riceville,niota, Athens, will come to Central their freshmen  year to play basketball. It was really odd bc In high school, I went to both school and when I moved to central junior year about 30 other people followed me not literally, but we all moved mid way thru High school and it wasn't even for athletics half the time.
