Temple does have what it takes. Now that being said they still have to win it. Any team at state can beat any team, it happens every year. (grace vs CPA). They have to play their game and they will come home with the gold ball. 34-1 speaks for itself. There the frontrunner for a reason, but that just means everyone wants to beat them that much more. If they play their ball i dont think anyone can beat them, but that being said they still have to do it and its never easy.

Not at all, I was just curious as to how the Middleton fan thinks that losing by double digits is a good thing. And I was showing that Temple beat the defending state champs by 21 at their gym so the argument of hanging with last years state champs doesn't hold up to well, especially if they've lost players etc.  And I was just listing some of the good competition(3 of which are in the 8 at state) that Temple has played and beat since someone implied that Temple hadn't played anyone this year.

 

From reading the Chattanoogan article, Coach Wadley seems to think Middleton will be one of the toughest and that if the brackets were different then Middleton and Temple would meet in the championship game. Should be a good one.

The defending AA champs have all of their starters back and are expected to win AA again.

The answer to the original question is: Yes, they have what it takes and so do 7 other teams. Watch the NCAA this weekend and you will see favorites winning and underdogs winning. That is basketball.

Get overconfident, play bad, have an off night, miss free throws, and you lose.

Stay focused, play hard, shoot well, make free throws and you win.

Temple and Middelton are the best teams in the state. But that won't guarantee the tourney for them.

You're so right, man.

I'm not totally convinced that all 8 teams have what it takes.

There aren't 8 teams that can win in the tournament. Middleton and Temple playing in the first round is an advantage to the rest of the pack b/c these are the 2 most likely to win. Sure Unaka is the defending champ, and Pickett plays tenaciously, but they aren't in the same league as the Temple guys.

 

I think tomorrows game will be the closest for Temple.

 

One can't help but think these guys have got to be cocky, already anticipating their 3rd trophy, but I know coach Wadley really pushes them to play hard and stay focused. This team is too disciplined and focused to loose in the State.

Well, I'm getting ready to head up to the Boro. I hope to be steping out the house in another hour to half an hour. It is really cold outside, for it to be warm Saturday. Geez!!!!

 

Good Luck Temple. The game can go either way. If Middleton can start off hot, it will be a good game, but not, Middleton will have a lot of work to do. Again, Good Luck!

i know this is kind of off topic but just to get the facts straight : the defending AA champs (Bolivar) only returned 2 starters from last year's team (lake, walker, and becton are gone)

 

But back on topic, middleton is a very good team, but so is temple. they both have what it takes to win. the question is who will execute. should be a great game.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      By BarneySox2007 · Posted

      I remember very well watching things change in the late 80's and yes it's all schools. Most people that are in charge today have any idea because they were raised and taught under this social experiment so they don't have a clue. Anyone that does see the truth for what it is usually try and hide it by blending in so that the School Gestapo doesn't round them up and take them to the Fuhrer ( kindly putting it ). Yes it is all schools not just Maryville. This train ride is not headed in a good direction and if the public had seen a movie of what's happening now back in 1980 everyone would have been headed home afterwards to change underware.

      You are so correct!  It’s really 99.9% of academia want to change to way that education is not only taught but the way it is viewed.  The pendulum has definitely swung as far to the left as possible and eventually will swing to the right much too far.  I have always  said that politics and one’s personal religious views need to stay out of education,  but for the last 40 years education has been running full throttle to what we have today.  If the social experiment that we are currently experiencing continues it is only a matter of time before the public school system in the USA completely collapses and all kids attend private schools or even worse don’t go to school.

      I am talking about what they both did for their team. They both carried their team for four years while they were both there. I wasn’t really comparing them that would be unfair. Bishop is on a level of his own.
