Having seen Tatum and Melissa play here is my assessment: Melissa's fastest player is not in the top 6 of tatums fastest. Tatum is freakishly fast. I don't think Melissa will struggle with the press so much as just getting back on defense after missed shots. I think that is the one area where tatum's speed will help them. Melissa is an all around better basketball team though and will create some serious matchup problems for tatum. Melissa's halfcourt def. is suffocating and if Tatum doesn't get an early lay-up then they will just do what they always do and jack up a 3. Don't expect a lot of off. rebounds on those either b/c of how well Melissa boxes out. I think the percentage of those 3's that go in will decide if Tatum pulls off the win. If they are making it rain, they've got a great chance to win. If not, I say Melissa wins by 13.

Does anyone know where and when this game will be? Does woodville have a snowballs chance in hell in this one?

Melissa plays every sport too, they have a dang good football team. Today is a good chance for all those in east tex to see Melissa play, They play at 6:15 at rivercrest

And by back out, guitar man means that Melissa got invited to play in the most competitive and highest attended playoff preview in the state. The Dallas ISD preview to play the #10 4a team in the state Dallas Wilson.

I have no dog in this fight but, and i've never posted on here before but some of your comments make no sense....let me get this straight. If Melissa chooses to play DALLAS LINCOLN (who has the best player in the state) it is b/c they are scared of Clarkesville. First of all, there will be a huge crowd at the dallas preview, which means more money for Melissa, and that would be much tougher competition than Clarkesville. Also, looking at Melissa's schedule, they hammered Cayuga, beat Allen, Waco, Abilene, Kennadale, Lovejoy, Prosper, Mckinney North, North Dallas, Jacksonville, Whitewright...I'm not saying Clarkesville can't beat them b/c I haven't seen either team play, but I doubt they are afraid of getting exposed. In a game that doesn't mean anything.
