Gatlinburg-Pittman is very good at home with Smoky Mtn officials and a very good student section. They seem to be a different team on the road posting a losing record at 5-6 with one of the wins in overtime at Union County. If Smith Co played them up in gatlinburg they probably lose...play them at home and they probably win. GP is 7-0 at home with impressive wins. Their schedule has been upgraded from years past but name am impressive win they have had on the road this year. Top 10 team at home with their refs...not top 10 on the road and that may hurt come post season. As matter of fact, looking back it may be that their only district tournament championship of last several years was the one time they hosted the tournament. They should be the pick to win it this year though as PF is down and Fulton is inconsistent.

Region 1 hasn't sent team to state in long time. Maybe elizabethton can change that. If I were betting, hard to go against Fulton whose only district losses came when they were winning 2nd straight title in football. Other one is probably toss up ... but Alcoa is 4-0 in district play so look for them to meet Fulton for that region 2 title if guessing today. Those two teams have played very tough schedules and if past history is any indication the East Tennessee AA teams that have had good success against top teams usually beat the AA teams who have more wins against a much easier schedule once tournament time gets here and those records are only good for a district seed.

Congratulations to Coach Ken Wright and the SCHS Bears. Definitely one of the best coaches in Tennessee!

District 3 AAA may win one game in the region, but I don't think they will win more than that. In fact Lenoir City may be better than the best team in District 3AAA.

Way to go Pigeon Forge Tigers!!!

Pigeon Forge dominated Cumberland Gap tonight beating them by around 20 points!

Pigeon Forge beat Knox Central on November 19 in the Chop House Classic. The Score was 66 to 59.
