Which teams could pull off the early upset in sectionals?
With the tournament draws released, are there a few teams middle of pack who might be able to pull off a sectional upset? Which teams do we keep an eye on?

Peebles is the #2???? Minford is the #6

Peyton johnson is a beast. If you haven’t seen her play, it’s worth the price of admission

Minford and Peebles couldn’t play until the Regional semis.

North Adams beat Minford tonight so it looks like the #5 & #6 is right.

I’m not sure that’s keeping her in check. I’d say it’s about her avg

Holding her to 18 is good since she averages 23.

Re: Which teams could pull off the early upset in sectionals?
I stand corrected. Holding to 17 (6 under her avg) is a good night defensively
Re: Which teams could pull off the early upset in sectionals?
I've never seen her miss that many foul shots. West played well. Peebles had won 14 strait heading into this tilt. Great game for both squads heading into the tournament. North Adams beat Minford Monday so leagues are pretty even I just wonder why West doesn't play full reserve games. They had enough girlsElijah Craig wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 6:16 pmI stand corrected.

Re: Which teams could pull off the early upset in sectionals?
It’s been a while since anyone has played a full (4qtrs) game schedule in girls basketball. I think it hurts the development of a PROGRAM. What I mean is the kids that actually want to play, that put time in to get better in the off season. Rosters are suffering from lack of players and talent for that matter.Hoopie74 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2024 6:12 pmI've never seen her miss that many foul shots. West played well.

Teams in our league,I believe all field varsity and reserve.Its sad that kids won't play anymore. Maybe get away from travel all and get more kids involved in the great high school game. Maybe they won't get burned out that way.win or lose it's an amazing game. Play as many kids as you can. Very few will be collegiate athletes. Build some school spirit and friendships

Re: Which teams could pull off the early upset in sectionals?
Agreed. Travel ball isn’t for everyone, and now it’s watered down. It’s a good vehicle for getting looks from colleges, but like you said, those that play at the next level are few and far between.Hoopie74 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2024 10:22 pm Teams in our league,I believe all field varsity and reserve.Its sad that kids won't play anymore.

I love high school sports as they are by and large community endeavors. Team and school spirit and community backing is a beautiful thing.Elijah Craig wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2024 7:24 amAgreed.

The beauty of the upcoming tournaments is that a team can overcome the long season and put it all together at the right time and do great things. Some teams are just getting back teammates who were out most of the year due to injuries or other factors. Other teams are losing some key players due to the same factors. Some upsets will happen in the next few weeks which makes this time of the year so exciting. Bring on the tournament and the school pride. Safe travels everyone.

Re: Which teams could pull off the early upset in sectionals?
You're all correct - building a sustainable deep program is key. Coach K with the Athens Bulldogs is a prime example of this.
It might be a year early because of all of the underclassmen, but don't be surprised if the Dogs make a really deep run in the tournament this year. The turnaround that Koska has done with that program is amazing,

Watching the game it didn’t feel she had that many. Not talking bad, you can definitely tell she is a great player. Great test for both squads heading to tournaments.Elijah Craig wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 6:16 pmI stand corrected. Holding to 17 (6 under her avg) is a good night defensively
