Jackson Co. V. Cookeville

[thekeg55]

What is everyone's opinion on this game? I know in the past Jackson Co. has good teams, I thin kthis year is no exception, but Cookeville is also loaded!!! This game should come down to the final seconds.

[Guest touch]

I agree that it will be a very good game. Cookeville has a great chance to beat Jackson Co. if the post girls are on top of their game. It should be very exciting!!

[Guest missedit]

What makes you say Cookeville is loaded? Ashley Taylor isn't anything now that Cara Reed is on the team. CHS has one decent post-Redus. And who in the world do you think CHS has that is a good point guard? If I was the coach, I definitely wouldn't be starting the one that has been starting.

Cookeville gives programs free at the door. Their are no post players listed. They start three forwards and two guards. In the last few weeks I have noticed(from news paper box scores)that most of the points have been scored by three forwards and five guards. Miss edit you have missedit. Because of Reed, Taylor is freed up to have fun on the perimeter. Watch her grin at the free-throw line.

Jackson co has four good shooters. Each can put 20 points on the board if time were allowed. I think they have the tallent to do it a fourth time. Their post players are not solid shooters, but they play solid defence. Cookeville, on the other hand, plays defence like pitbulls at feeding time. They play a style of offence that can get an opponent in early foul trouble. I have season tickets to TTU. I am going to miss their 700th win, to see this highschool matchup.

I agree Jimbo I think it will be a very intense ball game and a good matchup but I disagree with you on a couple of items. First please leave Childress open since she is such an inconsistent shooter, and last time I checked a forward is the same thing as a post player because they play "in the post" unless Cookeville runs a 5 out offense with nobody inside.

[jimbo44]

How about: motion offence, where no one is in the paint more than three sec's. Who is then the post? I have seen them run it two or three times. You can't leave Childress out. I dissagree.

jcballfan, what are the names of some of jackson county's good ball players??

[jcballfan]

Some of Jackson County's best are Courtney Childress, Alyssa Bowman,Marissa Hensley, and Deanna Apple. All of these girls have significant state tournament experience with three of them starting last year

One of the best games I have seen in a long time. Reed and Hensley both had great games, as they battled each other inside. (Two of the best Juniors in the state) Big win for Jackson County, Cookeville is tough. Jackson County is on their way to another great year.

This is the second OT loss to a 7AA team and Cookeville is an excellent AAA team. Looks like 7AA teams are the ones to watch. Again

Coach Odum deserves credit.When they play good teams,they

always seem to play tough.Year after year they play so so

during the regular season,then play Shelbyville or anyone

else tough in the post season.I hate to give anyone from

Cookeville credit,but I just did,so there.
