<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dyersburg (1-0), a member of D13-3A, began their season with McNairy Central (0-1). </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline">District 13 Teams</span><br>Crockett County<br>Dyer County*<br>South Gibson* <a href="https://prephoops.com/2023/10/team-preview-south-gibson-hornets/">Team Preview: South Gibson Hornets - Prep Hoops</a><br>Dyersburg* <a href="https://prephoops.com/2023/11/team-preview-dyersburg/">Team Preview: Dyersburg - Prep Hoops</a><br>Obion County</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">McNairy Central - Dyersburg</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On the very first possession the Trojans fed presumed breakout player <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2274856' first='Breyden' last='Turnage']</strong> from the wing. The play was a microcosm of the game in that Dyersburg clearly boasted the bigger team, both in height and strength. McNairy needed to play quick and spread the floor to compete.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Quick wing <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2337679' first='Jeffery' last='Cobb']</strong> played fast, perhaps the fastest of any Trojan. When Dyersburg stepped on the pedal they ripped away the MCHS Bobcat advantage. Cobb was both scrappy and athletic. There is something enticing about his game long-term.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>End 1Q: 15-10 Dyersburg.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Mikey McLin</strong> knocked down an uncontested three-pointer early in the second quarter, as the Bobcats tried to crowd the imposing Turnage down low. McLin is not known as a deadly shooter, so that stung the cats a bit. Not nearly as much as the subsequent sting. This buzzing culprit took the form of Turnage. After battering the castle gate with his post play, Turnage stepped out and shot an arrow over the castle wall and directly into the target. A three! Turnage's triple on the heels of McLin's truly served as a demoralizer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Trojans ran away with a 64-44 win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McNairy Central started: <strong>Tanner Kirk</strong>, <strong>Ethan Johnston</strong>, <strong>Ryder Plunk</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2274871' first='Jackson' last='Price']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2285338' first='Case' last='Stone']</strong>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dyersburg started: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1382741' first='Ace' last='Mahaffey']</strong>, <strong>Thadd Hill</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2337679' first='Jeffery' last='Cobb']</strong>,<strong> Mikey McLin</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2274856' first='Breyden' last='Turnage']</strong>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Roster (2023-2024)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#0 [player_tooltip player_id='2274878' first='Jace' last='Ward'] (2027)<br>#1&nbsp;<strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1382741' first='Ace' last='Mahaffey']</strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/ace-mahaffey/"></a>&nbsp;*<br>#2 A.J.
