HereComesTheCloser Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 1 hour ago, UCSportsFan said: Upperman vs Southside in the finals. UHS once again state champs As a SS alum, I'd take it. Heck there was one point in the '23-24 year that I was concerned we'd even make the region title game. But alas, we've gotten better as we've went along. The only team I'm really worried about is Dyersburg. We've heard all year long about how good they are. Now we'll find out in the first round. If SS gets past the first round, I like our chances to wind up in the title game. #HawkNation #HereComesTheCloser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the real deal "when" they are dialed in. 3 D-1 players is what I hear. South Gibson upset them so they can be beat. South Side will match up with them probably better than any team all year.

Y'all get by Greenville very possible y'all meet South Gibson who has beat Dyersburg. Then again I am speculating here so you never know. Heritage looked great. Any of these teams can win at this point. I’m interested seeing these west teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heritage impressed me. I’m definitely looking forward to watching them in person. There has always been a lot of athletes in the Maryville area, so I’m not surprised.

I agree with everything you just said. But want to point the one time SG beat Dyersburg it was without Cincinnati commit and region mvp Joya Crawford. She was out with an injury. The other times they played and she was in the game Dyersburg won all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyersburg ended up winning by 5 but was trailing going into the 4th qtr. Dyersburg has the most talent in AAA - 3 guards that will likely play D1 basketball. However, they don’t always play like the most talented team in AAA. They have the guard play to handle South Side’s pressure but they also could turn on each other and lose by double digits. No Dyersburg outcome will surprise me this week. They could win the gold ball or lose in the first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She knocked out Clarkrange 3 or 4 years ago. I did know Crawford was out but they are still loaded. Embry is not going to get intimidated by any team up here. Just saying she liked to beat Dyersburg in the Region Championsip. South Side has the experience. Well coached. Upperman always tough. Never know in the Glass House.
