TOUGHEST 04-05 SCHEDULES

[NWTennSports]

Who out there has the toughest boys' basketball schedule in the state??

 

For a small, about-to-be-Class A school in northwest Tennessee, Union City has a pretty darn tough one, I think.

 

The Golden Tornadoes will play at Ripley and at Fayette-Ware in Hall of Fame games (more money for the T$$AA), home-and-homes with Class AAA's Dyersburg and Henry County as well as AA tough team Covington, games in the Lexington Invitational and the Calloway County, Ky., Tournament, and oh yeah, the Poplar Bluff, Mo., Classic.

 

In case you don't know about the Poplar Bluff event, lemme give ya a little 4-1-1 on this year's hoop-a-palooza:

UC will open up against St. Louis Vashon, which finished ranked No. 10 in final USA Today poll last season after winning the Mo. 4A state title with a 31-0 record. Vashon, under coach Floyd Irons (791 wins, 9 state titles in his Vashon career), has won four state titles in the last five years.

Poplar Bluff was the Mo. 5A state champ last year with a 25-6 record. The Mules are 75-15 in last three years.

The PB Classic also has Memphis East and Austin-East.

 

Talk about an athletic director's dream schedule. If fans don't come watch UC against this schedule, then they need their heads examined.

Coach (Marty) Sisco sure knows how to schedule.....
