If bay keeps improving like they have all year, they will beat anybody in 1a and will win it again.

your right, they started out on top and couldn't have gotten much better and now going downhill, maybe they will pick it up by the end of the year again, just lost a starter to a knee injury, had MRI today, don't know extent to it, you could tell it hurt them today.

That's a good win for bay. I forgot that who you play over Christmas break has anything to do with winning a championship. I'm not saying anything against bay. It's a good win. But regardless of who Kirby clocks over break. March has nothing to do with Christmas break! Just my opinion. I think a Kirby bay game would be exciting!

Thechosen1 · December 28, 2016, 09:43:34 pm

Well it's looking to be that way come March.

My point is that competition against the likes of EPC and other talented, athletic teams will prepare Bay for Kirby or whoever, much like it did last year. When Bay played Guy for the second time they were certainly not awed, and were ready for the tempo and talent of Guy, having played many teams much like Guy. We all know what the outcome was. Just saying that playing EPC prepares Bay for Kirby, more than Mt Pine would prepare Kirby for Bay. Likely Bay/Kirby would be a highly competitive game between two very talented and well coached teams. I just see that Bay will have played in many games like that and will be better prepared for a game like that. Time will tell. Just looking at the facts, which some say has nothing to do with 2016/2107, however, Bay has won, what, five out of last 7 or 8 state championships. Since I have been watching them, they have won with extreme talent in 2015, and a little less talent in 2016. This year, having lost McFadden, they are still highly competitive, and it is obvious that along with the great talent of years past they have very high level coaching. Kirby, has been close thru the years, but to my knowledge have not made it to the championship game. I may be wrong. All of this to say, that all thing being equal, the edge goes to Bay. (Don't anyone forget about Guy, though, if Ballard comes back at full strength.

For sure. I agree with everything you're saying. If you wanna be the best you have to beat the best I do get that. But you do have to understand teams who play lesser competition can still win state. Kirbys plays a soft conference this season, they draw county line in regionals, and I believe they'll catch guy Perkins the 2cnd straight year in the quarter finals. So if this team gets to the ship and loses it has nothing to do with who they play over Christmas break! But I agree Kirbys boys lost in 05 finals to guy!!

Ok, I agree. If Kirby plays and beats Bay and/ or Guy then they will have earned the trophy, no matter who they play in Nov or December. By the way, where have you seen the regional/state brackets. I looked on AAA and did not see them unless I just missed them.

Hero of Twin Groves · December 29, 2016, 05:55:10 pm

Better believe it

Bigleague · December 29, 2016, 06:05:17 pm

Better believe in BAY.

AAA has a link to max preps with the state brackets showing you the 20 team play off. I'm curious how they plan to play the 4 extra games? Just have the four first round games monday now I guess?

I saw where Parkers Chapel beat Emerson by 20 on Dec 30, and I believe Nevada beat Parkers Chapel by 20+ earlier in the month. Either Parkers Chapel has improved a lot or things don't look too good for the Pirates down the road.

BasketballFan8680 · January 01, 2017, 02:56:59 pm

Parkers Chapel had an excellent game plan going into the game & Emerson seemed not to have an answer. They put a box and 1 on Jefferson & no one from Emerson couldn't really score.

Sounds like the Parkers Chapel coach took a page out of the defensive strategy that Bay used on Revels in the past. And if Emerson doesn't come up with an answer you can probably look for other coaches to do the same.
