Wildcats vs Eagles

I think the difference will be the defense, against 6 common opponents, Shelbyville has given up 115 pts while Tullahoma has given up 58 pts.  I know that Shelbyville’s offense scores more points than Tullahoma;; however, since Tullahoma made the change at running back, its offense has been more balanced and has been scoring more points.  I also believe Tullahoma has the advantage on special teams; therefore, I believe Tullahoma wins by 9.

Special teams could be the difference here. I'll bet Shelbyville hasn't started every drive at their own 20 every time this year. I'm sure they have had some pretty good kickoff returns to help get those high point totals.  One of the reasons Tullahoma has only allowed 99 points all season. When you have to go 80 yards all night long you run out of options.  And they may have been in some games where they wore down a defence up into the game. I haven't seen our defence slow down at all in the fourth quarter. Not sure they Golden Eagles can do what they've been doing for a full 48 minutes.  I think Tullahoma will get them off their game plan pretty early and they will struggle to get back on track. I look for a very low scoring game played in the middle of the field most of the night. The punting edge goes to Tullahoma and I think if it comes down to it, the field goal game goes to Tullahoma also.   We haven't made them all but we might just make the one that counts in a low scoring game.

    • Jada Hart, Jasmine Bailey and Kaitlyn Patterson the first two being PG's are all good guards and can handle ball pressure and are good players. Raven Wells will be a good post. There were games this summer where any one of the one's I mentioned were in double figures. Gibson County will control TO's much better this year and they will press more and get back to playing faster. AA is down across the board. I have been all over watching ball. Alcoa jumped to AAA and Jackson County moved down. to A. No telling who wins it this year. I agree Union City, Westview and Gibson County will be a dogfight and must see basketball. Poster insuated that Gibson County has a mental block against Westview. Well give me Maddie Gray and we line up last year and they wouldn't have won a game. Let's see how Westview does this year. Their starting five last year had three transfers in it. Rogers from Obion, Trevathon from Greenfield and Gray from South Fulton. Looks like they swung and missed with the girl from Florida this year so let's see how they do playing with kids from Westview. Gibson County has a really good 7th grade class this year.I have done learned you play with what you got and work them hard and develop them and see what happens. Just keep battling and see what happens. I like our team this year. Very athletic. Every year is the same with injuries and can be catistrophic to any. I watched GC all summer long. South Side and GC was very evenly matched and was a classic war. Hope all stays healthy. 
    • I think Gibson County is a top five team this next season but I do agree they will drop off a lot after this year.  Westview lost a ton and will be down this season and hopes of returning to glass house again is slim.  The run they have had is super impressive!
    • My take on GC for this year: Based on what I saw last year and heard this summer, I’m not sure GC could surprise me next year with any outcome. Wilkins is a great coach - they could win the district and region and go to Murfreesboro. They could also come in third in the district and not get out of region. The two returning starters are very talented but Guru is right that they didn’t always play hard last year. The other three starters are good enough in their roles for GC to be successful. There is no depth. Foul trouble could be a problem - Wilkins may avoid it by playing a lot of zone. An injury would be catastrophic. I hope they have a big year and Wilkins rides off into the sunset in Murfreesboro because, without some significant transfers, there are some tough years coming in the next few.
    • Daniel Boone coming down to 3A makes this much tougher. They added a couple transfers to the Flores girl. Cocke Co, Northview, Greeneville, and Daniel Boone - only two headed to Murfreesboro.
