I think CSAS should definitely be top 10 and possibly top 5 for several reasons: 1) They return all 5 starters and all key reserves from a team that lost in the Final 4 last year by 9 after leading at the half to eventual state champion Clarksville. 2) Beat McCallie who has some very highly rated players in their respective classes and is one of the top DII teams in the state. 3) Their 3 losses were in overtime to AA Tyner, overtime to AA Hixson (without starting their starting PG, Stallion, to injury), and on the road at A East Literature with 2 of CSAS's starters coming off of injuries (including Alex Stallion, their best player). 4) Their average margin of victory is 33 against Single A teams and 26 against all competition. 5) Their district this year is slightly down but Coach Dragoo did a good job of scheduling out of district games to prepare them to make another run at the state.

what a big shot by church

Im taking Grace by 5. Grace's 3 guards are better than CA's, but CA has the advantage inside. It should be an interesting game. Good luck to both teams!

I agree with the second paragraph. The first paragraph, however, I completely disagree with. In the first half 10+ fouls were called on A&S and only 4 were called on Clarksville if I'm not mistaken. I'm not blaming the refs because Clarksville deserved to win, but some of the fouls called on CSAS were questionable. Those twins are very good and its scary to think they are only Juniors. Best of luck tomorrow, but I'm going with the hometown team. Grace by 5.

I'm not disagreeing with your prediction... But Grace is far from a county school and fundamentals definitely don't go out the window when the game is on the line. It is the athletes with fundamentals that go D1.

CSAS by 5. Should be a great game.

Obviously. But having big games under your belt helps out tremendously. These Pats have been tested thats for sure.

what makes you think we will win big?

Yes maybe not in the 1st round of the tournament. But this is the Elite 8 bud. The top 8 teams in the state. Any of these 8 can make it to the championship and win it. If you think differently then you are the one who doesnt sound smart.

Just going by what I know about Tyner I'm gonna pick them by 10.

Every game could be the potential championship game. You never know who will make it to the 'ship. Stop whining.

CSAS all the way! Go pats!

Have your ever watched rbs play? I'm not looking to start an argument but in my opinion that was nowhere near the best that they could play. They did play a very good game seeing as how their star player W. Grace was completely shut out behind the arc. Csas guarded him exactly the same way the girls guarded Colter, face to face all night long. All in all Csas rose up when they needed to and came out with a win. Congrats to rbs for a great season, from what I've heard this is the farthest the boys have made it in school history, and the best of luck to csas in the state tourney! I honestly have never even heard of RBS until CSAS had to play them. They had a good game plan but it seemed to me that CSAS wanted to take away the 3 ball and make them beat them off the bounce. It was a solid plan. Congrats to RBS on a great season!

Howard and Tyner are both very, very good. And I'm not just saying that because I'm a Chattanooga homer. Tyner's post player has had several triple doubles with blocks this season. There's a reason he's going to UConn. Their guard play is very good and would be even better if their shooting guard hadn't gotten hurt. Howard is always well coached and will be a tough out for anybody. Don't sleep on these two Chattanooga teams or you will get beat. I can promise you that.

CSAS has 2 very good guards who can penetrate at will. A 6'5 sophomore post who is really coming along. They are very dangerous and are capable of making a run like they did in 2007 to the state finals.
