Hoping we can win tonight and meet Farragut on Saturday.  I think we can beat Sevier County... it will be tough, but can be done I think.

We played both Bearden and Farragut during the season.  Lost to Bearden in the Food City Thanksgiving deal at Sullivan East, beat Farragut at Roundball in the Hall at Freedom Hall in Johnson City.

Y'all have the best team in the upper East.  I've got Y'all then Crockett, us and Betsy.  I think etown and cland are close. They've gotten much better later in the season.

I forgot to put Boone in there now that they have Flores.

Swept under the rug…As expected. Your girls aren’t as clean as you think. Moving on to what will be a great game tonight. Prayers for a healthy game on both ends. 

I don't have a dog in this other than knowing some of the girls on cloudlands team,but it sounds like sour grapes to me,I've been all over the state watching both boys and girls basketball,most students sections are brutal on the refs and opposing fans and team,im not saying its right but don't single a team out for what a lot of teams do.

Exactly.  We were on the receiving end at Hampton.  That was a brutal send off after we lost and their student section is twice the size of ours.  We never complained once.  It's part of the game.

It’s not the point of singling them out honestly, any team that said the stuff they did to the girls on the court & the NG fans sitting near them would have been pointed out as well. There are great games played with great student sections that have class & respect the other team & fans without using profanity & degrading remarks. If that were the case, I wouldn’t have anything to say about a good, rowdy game.

Yeah well.... I'm not sure we would've beat much of anyone last night.  Led 5-4 at the end of the first but it was all downhill from there.  Credit to Sevier County with a relentless defense and we never could solve it.

Bright side is we do get Farragut who upset Bearden in Region 2.  We beat Farragut earlier in the year at Roundball in the Hall at Johnson City, so it is a winnable game for the chance to go to the Boro.

We play sunbright Saturday night who is an uptempo team.  I wonder how Matt will approach this game as we play both styles of ball.  Last night we decided to play NG at their own game with 2 minute possessions but I think we play with more flow in transition and our freshman is more dangerous when we run.

    • Worst thing SC could do is get rid of Dyer. I agree with everything said above.
    • 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.We had some quality wins this summer. Beat Huntingdon, Henry County, Bowling Green, Liitle Rock Central as well as a couple other quality Kentucky Teams. Westview's talent pool may not be what it has been without transfers the next few. And as far as Wilkins riding off into the sunset, where do y'all seem to think he will leave?? Wilkins is a healthy dude and he loves basketball and loves coaching. I wouldn't be suprised if he coaches a few more years. He loves the game and loves every minute of coaching.   
    • 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.
