Region 2- AAA Tournament

[Norman Dale]

Oak Ridge vs. Lenoir City

Heritage vs. Halls

Bearden vs. Central

Karns vs. Maryville

 

Let the discussion begin.

[Red Rebels]

There are a lot of mad people on FB. There are some conspiracy theories being thrown out there.

[chill]

Not on Facebook. What's the talk?

[Red Rebels]

It's on the District 4 side of the bracket.

How was the seeding determined? I am confused

[Red Rebels]

Region 4 had two games left for the boys. Bearden vs. Heritage for the Championship and Maryville vs. Lenoir City for third place. The Region was seeded based on the higher regular season finish of the teams in each game. Bearden gets the #1 seed because they finished higher in the regular season than Heritage who gets the #2. Maryville is #3 because they finished higher than Lenoir City who is #4.

Fear the Veer in the house. Both districts were cancelled and used the same format. So no district champions were crowned. Very strange and sad for the players. Region should be good.

I wish they would have let the games be played out. I have no conspiracy theories but these young men should have had a chance to play for position instead of it being handed out. Teams get hot in tournaments and it is unfortunate that a hot team cannot play for a district tournament title. Especially if it's the first one in school history. Oh well leave it up to the TSSAA to screw something good up! Go Mountaineers!

Be first to point finger at T$$AA. But in this case they couldn't control weather. This is a terrible situation for all concerned. But it happens. Quit complaining and win the Region.

[mountaineer]

Not complaining. The games could have been played Friday night.

[redandblack63]

Agree. But take note. The only tournament games in the area that were played Friday night were played at a private school. Has nothing to do with T$$AA heck they want the money. More to do with public school politics. I am pissed that I didn't get to walk Over and watch District 3 AAA finals at Central.

 

Back to games. Who wins and moves on.

 

Heritage vs Halls. Halls is dangerous.

Bearden vs Central. Can my Bobcats keep it close

Karns vs Maryville. Don't know bout this one. Karns at home great opportunity to advance.

Oak Ridge vs LC. No contest.

No games per Knox County Schools today...
