B's not had everyone out classed for 30 years. I mean..c'mon, truthfully, how many teams have you seen from region d go upstate and blow it. I've seen 2 or 3. And most of those 2 or 3 are from the cumberland. All that tells me is the region is weak and when we have teams go up there that have looked unbeatable here they get it handed to 'em. That's just my opinion tho...folks can say what they want. But results = championships...and until there are some of those region d has nothing to brag about but alot to prove.

B pretty much has had everyone outclassed. Of course were dealing with larger schools, but dang back in the 80s you couldn't touch the teams in that area.

TS's state title was a huge upset of Franklin County.

I just went and viewed the last 34 state titles in Group A history. Unless I have 1 or 2 teams regions swapped here is my figures.

Region A has won 6 state titles.
Region B has won 16 state titles.
Region C has won 8 state titles.
Region D has won 4 state titles.

Drewry Mason, and George Washington Carver would have won 5 of those titles for Region C that I listed, if I am correct that this was their region. They are now part of Martinsville and Magna Vista HS's I do believe. They may have been region B as well. Not sure.

So yes, D has not won as many titles, but they were in a few finals, as well, and B has won almost half of the Group A state titles.

sup-rbeast, what we were comparing, or what I was comparing, was the Cumberland to the other districts in Region D.. and then you starting comparing region D to other regions which got us off topic.. I know that region D is not the strongest region but that's not what we were discussing.. All I'm saying is that if all of the teams in region D played each other and you tallied up their wins by district, the Cumberland would have the best record IMO.

**sup-rbeast** · February 23rd, 2007, 01:13 PM

And all of that leads directly to what i was saying. 1 state title for the cumberland...ALL TIME in boys basket ball. Again...saying you're the best in region D in basketball is like aomeone bragging to the superbowl champs because they won the arena league title. Kinda pointless.

**imported_BleedingBlue** · February 23rd, 2007, 01:36 PM

Ok.. I see what you are saying then.. And I'll have to agree to being the best district in Region D does not mean that much statewide.. But still you denied the Cumberland being the best district in region D which I disagree with. But anyways, it don't really matter when you get past regions like you said..

The only championships i ever counted was State Championships. That goes all the way back to when I was in HS at PV. In football, Lpd Champs was nice..Region D was OK too...but no one ever went around bragging about em. All I was concerned with was a State title...cuz that was the goal and anything short of it felt like failure.

**1inStripes** · February 23rd, 2007, 01:45 PM

Yeah, but we were comparing the quality of the districts this year. How did that factor into state champs, or the past?

**sup-rbeast** · February 23rd, 2007, 02:03 PM

I was just replying to what I am seeing. Until CW brings home a state championship who really cares who had what. but really..the LPD has GC, cumberland has CW. I wouldn't put SP, RC, or TS heads and tails above Burton. Considering TS was no better than PV or Kelly, I wouldn't put them above either team. RC lost to GC, Burton beat GC once...so I guess the 2nd best team in the cumberland isn't much better than the LPD runner up. RC and TS both handled SP at least once this year so that puts SP in the same bundle. And I don't see any of the BDD teams being any better that any of these. So, there's my analysis. The way I see it, none of the districts is very much better if at all than the others when it comes to Boy's B-Ball this year.

**1inStripes** · February 23rd, 2007, 02:43 PM

Right, so I guess with your analysist JIB wouldn't finish any better than 5th or 6th in the CD since TS beat them when they played one another, and TW beat TS once by 10 as well.

You can't compare things like that and you know it. Basically, basketball this year was a better product in the Cumberland top to bottom than the LPD or BDD. Thats all that was being said.
