slimdaddy2005 Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Ridgeway plays Fairley tonight in the Regional championship at Ridgeway at 6:30. Both of these teams have good chances of winning state and I expect this game to be a state championship game atmosphere. SO does anybody have a prediction? I think Ridgeway is gonna win. Both teams matchup great with Fairley getting an advantage in the size category(the combo of J-Rock(Jeremy Jones) and Wood(Reginald Owens) are bigger than the combo of Pierre and Earnest Fields.) I give the nod to Ridgeway because its gonna be hard for a team to beat them on their home court wit so much on the line. The loser of this game will more than likely go to Jackson and play Jackson North Side for a chance to go to state.Nobody wants to do that. Fairley went last year and lost, I doubt if they wanna go back up there again. Ridgeway and Jackson North Side split two games this season both winning games at home. To tell the truth, now that I think about it, I dont want a Memphis team to win state. That way it makes White Stations accomplishments over the years look better.

btowntigers Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 I think Fairley will win in a close one tonight. I think one of these 3...Ridgeway, Fairley, and Northside....will end up winning state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galilee Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Not wanting a Memphis team to win is very selfish and makes me loose a lot of respect for you. How can you not want any other team to enjoy the success you have experienced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slimdaddy, this game will not feature "stall-ball (thank goodness)," but will not be a track meet, either. It'll likely come down the last few posessions...execution. Ridgeway has a superior passing team, but Fairley executes better in the half-court game. Ridgeway has the edge in free throw shooting, but Fairley gets the nod on rebounding, especially offensively. All other key areas are about equal, IMO. On paper, this has all the makings of being a great game--a definite nail-biter! I seriously doubt I'll get annoyed watching THIS game, though part of me wants to go watch Raleigh Egypt host Mitchell...... That's gonna' be one hotly contested game, no doubt. I think R.E will rebound to win this rematch by 3pts, as well. Lastly, Slimdaddy, you're entitled to root against a Memphis team winning the AAA title. I don't agree with you, though. You see, IMO, nothing can deminish White Station's 4 championships in 5 years. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Therefore, why NOT root for a Memphis team? You live in the Memphis/surrounding area-- don't you? Personally, I can't think of one single reason (unless, of course its "stall-ball" Woodale ). Edited March 3, 2005 by TraderB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
