    • Not today at the high school level. Just half to rely on the clock operator to stop the clock immediately, not the technology we see where the clock stops when the whistle is blown because of the technology they have at the college level.
    • I could definitely see it turn out that way. The problem is no one really stopped Ty Cobb all year. So Reynolds very well might've slowed him down, but I personally can't say it would happen til someone actually does it.    As for Alcoa, them and Upperman have a common opponent in Greeneville. Both played about the same vs them. in control by about 10 points most of the second half. However, one was a mid year game and the other was a state semifinal (of which Greeneville had shot lights out the day before). I do think Loretto would have had a more favorable matchup against Upperman than Alcoa would have though. We might get that answer next season as Alcoa moves up into the same substate pairings as Upperman in 3A.
    • Thinking and praying for you and your family.
    • Prayers for RW and her family.
    • Loretto vs Lawrence Co is a much bigger rivalry that Lawrence Co. vs Tullahoma. Yes, Tidwell was hurt at State and had to play a different style.  I understand your thinking, but I've seen all of these teams play a Lot this season.  Upperman is a great team, but they rely on a LOT of production from their Star player, Cobb.  Cobb would have had to dealt with Reynolds the entire game.  Reynolds limits every star player.  IMO, the only way Upperman beats Loretto, even with a limited Tidwell, is if they're able to get Corben in foul Trouble.  Even then, it would be a good game (not a blow out like some other haters mentioned earlier).   Alcoa, to me, is 10 points better than Upperman.  Loretto was able to knock them off with an injured Tidwell, in a physical game, where Reynolds was in foul trouble early.  Alcoa had this set up perfectly to take the 3peat, and Loretto was still able to pull it off.  Mind blowing to me because I wasn't super confident based on how things were playing out, but Loretto still pulled it off.
