Ravenwood 11 - 6 / 16 - 9

Overton 9 - 8 / 13 - 9

Hickman Co. 8 - 9 / 11 - 13

Hillwood 8 - 9 / 9 - 14

Centennial 8 - 9 / 13 - 11

Brentwood 7 - 10 / 10 - 14

Independence 1 - 16 / 3 - 20

Spring Hill 1 - 16 / 2 - 21

 

Those are the standings as of right now with district action pretty much wrapped up except for a couple games. Will there be upsets? Look at last year's tournament. Hillwood with a horrible regular season record made it to the CHAMPIONSHIP! So I'm sure there will be a stunner or two next week. I don't think it'll be Franklin or Hillsboro going down though. I'm looking forward to that matchup in the championship game. So with a few upsets, I still think we get FHS/Hillsboro in the finals.

 

Besides Franklin and Hillsboro, who do you think will represent the district at the Region tournament?

I believe Hillsboro will come out on top. They entered the year a little cocky, and I think that's why they lost to Franklin early in the year. Franklin is a very good team, no doubt, but when the Burros are hitting on all cylinders, I don't think any of their district opponents can hang with them. They have a great one-two combo down low with Tony Irvin and Mike LeFlores, both extremely athletic with good strength. They attack the boards with tenacity, and that makes it hard for other teams to compete with them on the blocks. LeFlore is especially good on teh offensive glass, using that athleticism to put back several missed shots. Add to them, Elmar Kuli-Zade who is one of the better pure scorers in the district, Rob Hudson, who if he learns to play more within the team structure would be an outstanding point guard who is a solid defender capable of guarding bigger men, and Andrew Schnider who plays his role to perfection, not forcing anything, but hitting big shots when the team needs it. The Burros also have a fairly deep bench, with Daniel Wall who plays much the same as Schnider, Cameron Jordan who plays tough D, and Phil (the last name is escaping me) who is pretty good but not outstanding at every aspect of the game. The only downfall that could ruin the Burros is that sometimes their guards get a LITTLE selfish and forget about the great size advantage they hold down low. If Hudson can distribute the ball evenly between Irvin, LeFlores, and Kuli-Zade, I see the Burros going all the way to Murfreesboro.

Dotson would have to not only have a good tournament, but Hickman County would need to advance quite a ways in it. Rare for you to see a MVP not from the championship team.

 

About Barnes- he's gonna have to be healthy to earn MVP honors. We'll just have to see.

 

No one can hang with Hillsboro? Franklin was leading them with 6:00 minutes to play in the game... had a lead at halftime. Oh, and they beat them the first time around. So I think Franklin can hang with them. Hopefully we'll get to see another classic Franklin-Hillsboro district tournament game (like last year's OT game). Though really I guess it's hopefully y'all will get to see. I'm gonna miss not being at the tournament this year! :D

 

But nonetheless, GO REBS!

    • Groves got the ball over 20+ times. His son arguably played the best for East in that game. 3rd and long multiple times and he came up big to continue a couple drives. Please shut up for the 3rd year in a row
    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.
