I live in Colorado and follow national girl's basketball religiously. On the national scene I'm a big fan of Rick Insell and the Shelbyville program he has engineered, because most years, Shelbyville is the one Tennessee team that makes a dent in the national rankings. But it's obvious this is not going to be Shelbyville's year, and Mt. Juliet is the class of the state in the early part of the season.

 

I'm rooting for Mt. Juliet to keep and strengthen its national ranking for the rest of the year. Go Mt. J! Keep Tennessee girl's basketball in the nation's view, and best of luck in continuing to show the class and skill you have shown thus far in the season.

That's great to hear, but what about Shelbyville?  Are they just not doing that good this year or what?

Shelbyville is 7-7 this year, which, of course, is abysmal by typical Golden Eagle standards. However, their 5 instate losses have come to teams with a combined record of 63-14 (.818). Though they may not be worldbeaters this year, Shelbyville is most assuredly still in the upper echelon of teams in Tennessee.

Anybody know how many TN teams have been ranked #1 by USA Today? I can think of 2. Shelbyville and White County. Any others?

I think you're right. Here's a boost for past 7AA teams:

 

When White County was #1 in USA Today, Livingston Academy beat them at White County.

 

When Shelbyville was #1 in USA Today last year, Jackson County beat them at Jackson County.

 

When Shelbyville was #1 in USA Today in the early 90's, they couldn't or wouldn't play Livingston Academy, who was then ranked #4 in USA Today.

 

Just a little food for thought. Congrats to Mount Juliet.

I remember the White Co. vs. LA game. White Co. was up by like 9 points with 3 minutes to go and then LA hit like 4 three pointers to get it to OT and then took the victory.

    • A little confused.  What charter/prep schools made it to state in Baseball?  
    • Fortuitously encountering Clint amidst the ambience of Goodyear this morning sparked an impromptu yet intellectually stimulating conversation, wherein we engaged in a rigorous assessment of prospective candidates for the esteemed role of head football coach. Our discourse, characterized by its spontaneity and depth, led to the formulation of astute observations and discerning judgments regarding the suitability of various individuals for this pivotal position. Allow me to elucidate the fruits of our collaborative contemplation: This commentary endeavors to offer a discerning articulation of my subjective viewpoint, emphasizing a conscientious commitment to maintaining impartiality and refraining from any semblance of derogation directed towards individuals.  Those who possess meritorious qualifications for the esteemed head coaching role, delineated without hierarchical precedence, include: Rennard Woodmore, an esteemed alumnus of the Yellow Jackets, presents a magnificent pedigree, having held prominent positions in head coaching capacities across various regions. His pivotal role as a coordinator for teams contending for state championships further enhances his stature in the realm of football leadership. Kyle Gregory, erstwhile adorned in the resplendent gold insignia, though lacking direct head coaching experience, brings to the fore his invaluable insights garnered as a coordinator for esteemed teams, showcasing an acute understanding of the requisites for triumph whilst attired in the esteemed purple and gold regalia. Steven Jackson, whose contributions transcended mere clipboard duties under the tutelage of Kevin Creasy, emerges as an exceptional candidate for Trousdale County. His prior tenure and triumphs as an assistant coach underscore his suitability for the role. The sole drawback lies in his lack of affiliation with Trousdale County as an alumnus. Brandon Eden's extensive tenure within the chronicles of Trousdale County football, spanning a significant portion of its State Championships, coupled with his successful stints as a coordinator across diverse locales, underscores his candidacy despite a dearth of direct head coaching experience at the high school level. Davy Cothron, while beset by a modest playing career, has emerged as a luminary in offensive strategy, drawing parallels to the transformative appointment of Barker in 2015, thereby warranting consideration for his proven acumen in this realm. Joshua Hackett, notwithstanding his non-alumnus status, has left an indelible imprint across Middle Tennessee, distinguished by his adept curation of formidable defensive units as a coordinator at Watertown, albeit without direct head coaching experience. Kevin Creasy, the epitome of coaching prowess, merits an offer irrespective of his current inclinations, his unparalleled capacity to secure victories transcending geographical and institutional bounds, potentially extending to a role as Director of Schools should it align with his aspirations. Conversely, individuals who have not demonstrably earned the mantle of head coaching, enumerated without sequential precedence, encompass: Brad Waggoner David Barker Paul Pitts Jeremy Pruitt Clint Satterfield Robbie Atwood Wesley Satterfield Ben Johnson BJ West Whom do you all deem most fitting to assume the mantle of the next coach, and what rationale informs your choice? Conversely, whom do you perceive as ill-suited for the role, and what underpins your reasoning for their exclusion?
    • He's a Clinton fan.  But I wouldn't admit that either.  
    • Their any schedule out their for team camp?
    • This sums it all up to perfection.
