AAA Region Championships

Greeneville/Elizabethton - Elizabethton playing well late this season but I think Greeneville takes this one

Northview/Cocke Co - Northview wins a close one

Heritage/Signal Mtn - Heritage wins comfortably

White Co/Upperman - should be a great game but White Co too big and too talented this year

Macon Co/Portland - haven't seen Portland this year but I expect Macon to win this one

South Side/Chester Co - South Side stays hot

Dyersburg/South Gibson - impressed that SG is in this game with all their injuries; Dyersburg getting healthy at the right time and wins by double digits

Millington/Covington - neither team is great, but Millington is better

No disrespect but you know as well as I do that Macon would not have made it out of the district in 7AAA.  Covid year they had the best team and Larry won them a gold ball. They had a great run but no way they come out of 7AAA this year. But that doesn’t matter now. They won their games and deserve what they earn. 

If I remember correctly in 2020 you said Putnam Academy was better and would beat Macon. How about some respect for a team who has struggled with talent loss because they don’t have 5-6,000 kids to pick from? Yes they are in a lesser region but still they have tradition and coaching experience to see them though. If they win tonight they host a team in the sub state and it’s not some easy task to win at Nera White.

Amen brother but don’t believe I said that in 2020. Research a little and let me know. I applaud Macon County for doing what all small county schools and athletes dream of. I hope they win and make it back to the state tournament. Heck I’d even wear blue and white ( I still have those colors somewhere) if they do unless….: they play Upperman haha

Well, I still am I lived down there for many years and I coached middle school basketball there. I was the assistant for the high school boys basketball team for a while still a big fan.  But I remarried, moved to Putnam county, and now I have daughters that go to Upperman. Two of them play basketball and one is a high school cheerleader for Upperman So therefore, I am an Upperman fan lol

Tonight’s Upperman vs White Co game should be good. If we can get reed and jones in foul trouble that would definitely help. Both coaches our very good coaches and can make it hard to beat them because they can adjust there game plan. It doesn’t matter that south side lost 3 starters. There is still plenty of talent to win a gold ball again this season.

Dyersburg gets a hard fought win over a great effort by SGC tonight. The Lady Trojans did not shoot well for the game. Turnovers, in my opinion, we’re the difference, as the Lady Hornets had a lot of trouble protecting the basketball.

Covington and Millington play tomorrow night to determine Substate placements.

Still sticking by my prediction that both Dburg and SGC make it to the glass house.

Cocke County gets a hard fought win over Northview. The lady red played well last night won 3-4 quarters played great defense and rebounded the basketball very well. The Lady Red will host Elizabethton Saturday at home they beat them earlier in the year,CCHS beat Upperman earlier in the year, lost a close one to Jackson South Side. These girls play hard and bring it every night.

    • You haven seen much football if the Blackman vs Bowling Green game u speak of is the worst officiated game you have ever seen.  Everyone on here swears Blackman was cheated, but i just can not agree.  Rewatched it on youtube, and there are a couple Blackman fans near the camera that out to be ashamed of the crap that came out of there mouths.  I dont know much about Blackman, but i didnt get a very good impression of them having much class by there entrance to the field, and instead of running on to there sideline running to the other teams sideline to cut them off when they went to run to there sideline.  Then before much is even happened in the game fans near the camera swearing they are being cheated.  Seemed like a fairly good called game till Blackman started losing there composure.  Embarassing hearing the blacmn fans making fun of someone on the other team possibly getting hurt, and calling players on the other team a dumbass.  The reason they lost thatgame was because they gave that necarious fant kid a 5 yard cushion over, and over, and over, and everytime he would catch it and get another 7 after the catch.  3rd or 4th and 1 lets give the best player on the other team a 5 yard cusion, and let him catch it when we need a stop even though he has gotten 12 yards on that play repeatedly.  Then the last touchdown on 4th down was a completly different play, but great throw, and great route and catch by fant for the last td they did not defend it very well, and it would have been a blackman win if they make that 4th, and long stop, but they didnt cover the best player on the field very well, and he caught it with the closest player 3 yards away from him.  Just give Bowling Green credit for making the plays to win.  We look stupid constantly saying they got cheated.  They straight up got beat, but no shame,bowling Green had a heck of a team.  People just dont want to give any credit to the other team when they are beat especially when its out of state.  Ive talked alot of crap to fans of kentucky teams, but we get ridicilous too often on here.  I remember the Union City fans saying how they would run it down the other teams throat playing a kentucky team.  They claimed we will run it up the middle all night, and those early 3 yard gains will turn into 12 yard gains by the 4th quarter cause thats how we always wear other teams down, and always win.  They proceded to get there #### whooped 2 years in a row then dropped that team from there schedule, and i have to give those kentucky fans credit they called it before the first year they played.  They said we will beat Union City these 2 years, and they will not renew because Union City has done this in the past before.  Went to one of those games, and the other team ran defensive lineman in every few plays, and by the 4th quarter it was union city that was wore out, and there rushing game failed late.  Instead of giving the other team credit for stopping there run game late they cried that we was gassed after bragging that we always gas the other team out by the 4th they couldnt handle that another team smartly threw fresh bodies in most of the night, and kept there starters much fresher for late in the game.  They basically put backups in on half the plays, and settled with giving up alot of yards to keep the 1s fresh for the 4th.  Instead of giving them credit the excuses came well we where gassed if we would have played later in the season we would have won its hot, and early in the year, so thats why we lost its all just excuses.  It aint like there is a rule that says UC couldnt rotate some in on there oline, and rotate a couple running backs so there starters would b fresh for the end.  They got beat because the other team smartly used depth, plus they couldnt stop the other teams offense.  We cant give credit to the other team when we lose we must find an excuse mentality espececially if its an out of state team there is no way anyone from another state in paticular kentucky can be as good or better than us.  After just watching that Blackman game they just straight up got beat.
    • What’s sad Barney is the cards in the deck are stacked against them.  With the success the MAVS are having just down I-75, any talented players are heading that way. I always said what the Price twins did there was second to none, making the playoffs and winning a playoff game is the ceiling there. On a great year, maybe a q-final appearance but that is a big stretch.  Finding a coach there is very tough. I feel for the new coach, he’s in a very bad situation and I’m not sure he even realizes it. I understand he wants to be positive and have hope, but I don’t see them scratching a win. Maybe he will prove me wrong.  
    • I agree, 2A is the only class in thet state where the west side of the bracket is tougher, not taking anything away from Marion county at all but they should run that side for years to come
    • Should be a big week in Dayton coming up with the 100th anniversary of the Scopes Monkey Trial.
    • AE has a lot of new transfers and a very good incoming freshman class to mess with the current players.  That's why I'm saying don't sleep on AE.  Many are thinking they can't get back to their winning ways but I think this 2025 team will open a lot of eyes and let the state know, AE won't be an easy win anymore.
