Been seeing some videos that show Celina Bulldog's throwing elbows!! Is it dirty play?? From the 2 videos I have seen it's dirty play my opinion!! Since it's Highschool the Coach should be talking to his players about it!! It's his job to control his players and to keep the dirty play for the play grounds! Celina has for the last few years had some really good ballplayers and have done very well in state playoffs! But control the dirty play and keep you reputation good and clean Coach!!!

Multiple videos show players form each team throwing intentional elbows. The 1st from Macon players wasn't seen by the officials and no foul was called. It was vicious and landed requiring stitches to the player receiving. The 2nd elbow was thrown by the brother of the player that received the damage. The game video doesn't give a good view of the 1st elbow thrown but another video I've seen shows it well. With that being said it was both teams or players from each team. Not condoning any of it. I will say in the manner the 1st elbow was thrown. I've not seen many teams where another player wasn't going to respond to that. In this case the brother was on the floor.

I’ve seen videos showing the first elbow thrown by the Macon County player and it was deliberate and intentional. The player should be disciplined by his school and or coach. Minimum 2 game suspension maybe even more. That was totally uncalled for. So before you start talking about reputation let’s point the fingers in the right direction.

Well haven't seen the Macon county kids elbow but did see the one throw in the Jackson County game that was deliberately throw by Celina kid not trying to pick on one team over the other!! But still Coaches have to take control and do some in house discipline of there own!!!!

Well just seen the Macon county kids 1st elbow!! Now I'm sure there's different videos of it but the one I saw I don't believe it was intentional I think Macon County kid was just blocking out and the Celina kid move in with his head down and got hit by the Macon county player!!! As I said I only looking at the one video I could find and I wasn't at the game!!! The bottom line these players are young and playing to win all the Coaches across the state need to emphasize good hard play keep it clean!!! Just my opinion doesn't mean I'm right or wrong!!

The rest of the season should be exciting for the UC area. I foresee A LOT of physical gameplans because there are players that have more of tendency to react on various teams. Make no bones about it, these gameplans are by design. I watched the Clay Co. vs PC game earlier this year and it was VERY physical. I believe the refs called a pretty good game, but I do believe PC got a few more questionable calls than Clay Co. did. Not related to the Clay Co. vs PC game, but in general, I am all in favor of good hard physical basketball, but when intentions became dirty play, that's unacceptable.

You clearly haven’t seen the one from the baseline. If you only look at the video from up above, it basically looks like he boxed out the guy fell down. If you see the video from the baseline you can tell it is obvious it was intentional.  I’m not condoning what the player from Clay county did. I’m just telling you when the Macon County boy throws an elbow like that to take out another player on the opposing team in these parts of the country a fight is going to break out that’s just the way it is boys.  I will say this much in defense of the kid from Clay County. I had two boys that played one played for Clay County. The other played for Jackson County and if they were on the court at the same time and somebody did that to their brother, It probably would’ve been a whole lot worse than that. Watch the video if you can that shows it from the baseline and then come back and tell me it wasn’t intentional.

the problem is simply Clay is playing dirty! period. beyond physical. they are going to get someone hurt! saw a video from jackson co early in the year-should have been a suspension on that elbow refs missed from same kid. saw video of clay vs livingston - horrible rough play. now macon. clay coach is trying anything to stroke his ego to get wins. tssaa is gonna have step in before someone gets hurt real bad. play the game right.  a coach worth his salt would have been on the court talking to his player after an incident like that chewing his butt out, not clay coach.

I did see the one from the baseline the Macon County kid never looked to see where the Clay County kid is!!! The Clay County kid lead with his head for some reason!! Still don't think it was intentional but my opinion!!! Not got a kid in the hunt I'm just a fan of highschool basketball!! NIL has and is destroying the College game!!

Either A you’ve never been around sports or B you’re biased. Because no one boxes out with a high elbow to the face without doing it intentionally   By your definition then the second elbow was incidental contact as well.

    • Yeah corbin thats the team.  Yeah they are 4a now, but in 2017 they was 3a, and didnt win a title, and was steamrolled in there playoff loss.  They alo got beat by a 1a team that year just looked up there secedule.  Point is a 3a team in tennessee good enough to win a title should not be losing to a 3a team in kentucky that got whipped in there playoffs plus lost to a 1a team.  We always say tennessee football is far superior than kentucky, but our teams have not been doing a good job of showing it.  Ive always felt a 3a champion in tennessee is equivalent to about a 5a team in the weak bluegrass state, but the few games ive followed the last decade we have been getting whipped.  Blackmon to bowling green, alcoa to corbin.   The worst is when Union City played a team about there size named mayfield the same year they won a title, but got beat by like 40 and shutout.  Then that mayfield team doesnt win a title.  Ive seen far to many of our teams win a title, and the same dang year lose to a school from kentucky thats about equal in size that isnt even good enough to win a title in there state.  That mayfield team beat trousdale county one year, and it was trousdale only loss in like a 40 something game stretch, then that team gets whipped in the finals in kentucky. So no team trousdale played in there class can beat them for like 3 years, and they go undefeated against there out of class opponents in tennessee, but lose the one game they play against kentucky to another small school that is around there size.  Do u not think it looks bad when our number 1 team in a class plays a kentucky team thats the 2nd-5th best team in there class of similar size and loses.  Sure doesnt look good to me.  We always down kentuckys football, and say we r superior, but we have looked like a joke in about every game ive cared to follow when i thought its a great matchup.  Alcoa, union city, blackman, trousdale co ive seen it to many times.   I was all over that thread when union city played mayfield, and a coulple of those mayfield fans got on this board, and there was a good back and forth, between us in tn and the mayfield posters.  We was telling them how superior union city would b and how they would run it down there throats all night.  Of course the mayfield fans just said wait and c tennessee football is behind the times, then after union city got destroyed we looked stupid.  Aint noone on here thought alcoa would lose to corbin either and they did.  I dont care if it was in ot, do we do moral victories now?  Hay we can win 10 titles a row in 3a in our state, but the 1 time we play a kentucky 3a team we lose, but lets b happy it was only by a point in overtime to a team that cant win in any class they have been in in 40 years so lets celebrate that our champion cant beat there runner up who was beaten badly in there title game lets be happy about it.
    • Northview was very impressive last year. I think their draw cost them last year. They played South Side and Dyersburg and then Heritage. South Gibson, South Side and Dyersburg only two will go from the west. Will be a dogfight for sure. Like I said earlier, if South Gibson don't learn to score they won't make it to state. Will be interesting for sure. 
    • 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!
