@D_Bishop2004
today has been ridiculous. Bishop had a great season. Whether you think he should have won or not, he did. And he shouldn't berated because he won. Congrats on being the Class 5A Mr. Football. People need to show class.
Pick up a copy of the Mirror-Exchange, Trenton Gazette, Humboldt Chronicle or Tri-City Reporter for this special section, highlighting the best in spring sports.

. One of the best power hitters in West Tennessee. Against the 2022 4A state runnerup Houston, he has already hit a 2-run home run and 3-run home run in 5 innings.
I say this with full confidence.

Let me get this straight,
@TSSAA
allows a team to play the state tournament at home. That coach complains about a dugout even though his dugout does the same. And a coach gets tossed. It's gotta be better for a state tournament!!!!
With Independence winning a state title today, Mark Wilkins joins dad
@TheCoachWilkins
and brother
@MckRebelHOOPS
as a state champion. I wrote this story 8 years ago about how the Wilkins family was taking over West TN coaching.

@SSHSHawks
has led from start to finish. What a performance this week from knocking off the defending state champions to one of the best games in tournament history to a first gold ball.
Really don’t understand why the District 13-3A baseball tournament didn’t play two games today. It is 7:45 and the sky is nice in Newbern. Can someone explain?? Softball is playing.
After tonight, we can’t keep a scoreboard and scorebook correct in a state quarterfinal game at the state tournament, but people want to add a shot clock to the responsibility of the score table. It just doesn’t make sense. We have to do what is instituted now correctly first.

@PCAMurfreesboro
State XII game. Watched the video and Joel Ayers made no motion, didn't yell and she gave him a double tech that wasn't warranted. Seen much worse get a warning.
Here are my picks for Tuesday's state tournament games:
Class 3A
Livingston Academy over Greeneville
@sgchornethoops
over Dyer County
Elizabethton over Dyersburg
@SSHSHawks
over Upperman
Class 4A
Bartlett over Sevier Co.
Clarksville over Green Hill
Be sure to pick up a copy of the Mirror-Exchange, Trenton Gazette, Humboldt Chronicle or Tri-City Reporter and read about the All-Gibson County selections.
Wait, wait, wait. Tmyou gave Caitlin Clark a technical for that. Then there should have been about 10 other handed out in this game on both teams for that level of an offense.
History made!
