Is the live stream free or is there a fee?

The NG won was huge for them.  Oak Ridge looked very slow and had no rhythm on offense.   NG played good defense. This was not a typical OR team. 

I heard OR didn't play hard either.  NG will always play hard no matter the opponent

Which Florida Tournament?

Carolina Invitational at Fort Dorchester.  It's SC not Florida

Actually I was wrong.  They are not playing Anywhere this week. Their coach was at the gym yesterday watching.

Here's hoping they'll improve by then. It does happen sometimes.

 

What you think?

Heard today that David Crockett was invited to this year’s tournament and chose to go to Florida.  Obviously Crockett didn’t want to face the tough competition in the Ladies Classic.  They had never been invited so I can’t believe they turned it down.

I would love to know the criteria for tournament participant selection. There are a lot of great teams around East TN that haven't been invited in the past 5 years. There may be some other tournaments in the area that host higher caliber teams.

Since you are a fan of Southside, I'm glad you asked. 

I believe your team has a chance to make the finals.  I think they might be too much for Webb in the semis (even though Webb did beat Bearden on Wednesday) Then, if they reach the championship, you all will have to beat one of two good teams — either a very good Marist School from Atlanta or another very good school from Bartlett, TN. You may be already familiar with Bartlett, since they are from West TN.

I think SS could win the championship, but they'll definitely need their "A game" in the semis and especially for the championship.

Looking at the website and the field of teams they have. I understand that it is an invitational and your team has to have had a pretty decent record the previous season and/or a college recruit. I have heard about this tournament in the past and it is one of if not the best in the state this time of year.

The track record for the Ladies Classic in Greeneville speaks for itself — 34 years of great women athletes passing through our little town, heading for bigger and better things.

All we can ask for is a chance! Yes I seen Webb is a very good school, per usual! Not familiar with that Atlanta school, but we are very familiar with Bartlett. We have exceeded my expectation in this tournament, so we will see how the rest goes. I am hopeful for another healthy season & I like my chances. And then we will see how it goes come March!

I caught a couple games online and saw some pretty talented kids on the floor.

Webb looks like an extremely young team. I'll go out on a limb and pick Southside to win today's game. 

You might want to stream both of today's semis. One girl to watch on Marist is #15 Kate Harpring. She is only a sophomore, but, man, she is a great all-around player. Marist beat an extremely good school from Lexington, KY area last night, George Rogers Clark. Best game of the tournament, so far. IMO
