i hear temple won 64-50.

is this true?

Way to go temple and Grace! Way to rep Chattanooga well! Good luck in state. I was very disappointed with the grace/clarkrange game. I thought clarkrange would put up a much better fight. And i think that upchurch is a very good player and i feel bad for him that he doesn't have anyone to help him out. Congrats to clarkrange for making it this far

/roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> thanks dude, so what number is upchurch??

the roster on their team info page says that he's number 10.

i'm not from there so i'm not positive that that is right.

anyone wanna clarify?

ANYWAYS...back to talking about the game.

Is upchurch getting college attention?

As much as I would like to pick Temple to win this, I don't want to. I remember last year everyone picked arts & sciences to beat Jackson County but JC came fired up and shot the lights out. I expect Clay Co. to be the same way so be careful crusaders. I wish the best of luck to both teams and congrats on great seasons!

i'm from chattanooga and i haven't seen clarkrange play. i know their girls are really good but what about the guys? what are their strengths/weaknesses?

Congrats to PC on the win, I honestly thought yall wouldn't be able to go down to Chattanooga and win, but yall did and that is the mark of a pretty good team and a good coach. Good luck at state! /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

Being from Chattanooga and a fan i say congrats to PC but I would also like to say that they caught CSAS on a bad shooting night...I've seen them play at a much better level but oh well, thats part of the game. congrats to the patriots on a great season and good luck to PC the rest of the way!

I have seen them play and I am biased, but I know that the Patriots will go as far as they play hard and play together because they do have talent.

i agree. csas plays its best ball when they play hard and with passion. i think both grace and temple witnessed the patriots when they play hard, and i dont think either of them will want to play them in the tourney.

I'll take Temple by 70.

/roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> this is great

Grace doesn't utilize the talent they have due to poor coaching. CSAS is peaking right now and playing their best ball of the season. I as well pick CSAS winning by about 5.

I think CSAS is almost certain to be in the region finals, although Spitt might have something to say about that. Although Grace has the most talented team in the area, IMO, I expect Temple to beat them in the district and region, then meet CSAS again in the finals.

I don't think South Pitt will be able to beat CSAS in the district. Right now Signal Mtn. is more of a threat than South Pitt. The other day South Pitt beat Sale Creek by 9. CSAS beat them by almost 40. Oh... not to mention that Signal beat South Pitt earlier this season. Don't get me wrong... South Pitt is a great team. But right now, I don't think they're at the same level of play that CSAS is at. But then again, everything is different during tournament time.

i agree. you can't honestly say that about him. he's a great player. anyone know if or what colleges are interested in him?

I agree with ChattanoogaStone but think that Grace will win by 20 or more. Arts is athletic and has some nice young players, but they don't have anyone that can handle Patrick inside. Prediction: Grace 72 Arts 49

may i add that last time these teams met in the regular season they had patrick fouled out by the fourth quarter? not to mention two early fouls. he is an excellent player but whether they feed him the ball or not is a big deal...and whether he can stay outta foul trouble

Region 3A rivals Grace Baptist Academy and CSAS face off on East Third Street Friday night. Thoughts or predictions?

I think I am gonna have to pick Temple to win by 12. I haven't seen the team work that Grace needs to be successful. I think that temple's defense will be too much for grace to handle. but who knows? grace usually steps up in big games. This should be a good one!

this "game" last night was horrible. south pitt could've made it a much closer game. they don't use their quickness and athleticism to their advantage...in stead they pull up for jump shots. and free throws could use some work too i may add. they missed about 15 South pitt could be very dangerous later in the season if teams arent careful.

all the games are @ csas

Chattanooga's Best of Preps tournament starts this coming week on the 18th. What are everyone's thoughts and predictions about the tournament?

Who knows anything about Van Buren?

They're new to the region next year.

what do they have to offer?

i pick manassas by 5.

i think reginald buckner is gonna have a big game and take the state championship and the state tournament MVP.

great ball player.

elliot williams.

gotta be the best.

he's signed with duke.

sexton is great, and i think he will be D1 major,

but idk about duke.

man, it seems like in these posts people are talkin about each other more than the actual ball teams. c'mon lets talk some basketball.

Congratulations to the kids from JC on such a big accomplishment for their school. I give them a chance at winning if they can shoot like they did against CSAS in their substate game. BUT, they are gonna have trouble matching up with manassas (sorry dont know how its spelled) I heard they have a player thats going to a major D1 school, dont know if its true but wow. mannassas is pretty big, strong, and athletic...but then again, arent all the memphis teams? well, im done babbling for now, so lets hear what others think WITHOUT being rude to each other! /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

good luck to everyone in the tournament.

it'll be interesting.

i wish temple could win to represent chattanooga but i just dont think they can get it done.

sexton is a great ball player but i dont think he has what i takes to beat UC.

I expect about 32 from sexton but i think they will lose.

im done making any "excuses".

just sayin.

i love how all these JC fans are finally speaking out after they finally accomplished something....

congrats to them, but i havent heard anything out of them the rest of the season.
