Basketball is alive and well in Nashville and I too, share your frustration about the lack of chatter about it in Nashville. There are TWO count 2 good tournaments in the South Nashville Area and they are located within 2 miles from one another on Franklin Road just off the Harding Place exit on I-65 (JOHN OVERTON and FATHER RYAN). Come on out and support good basketball in a great enviornment, we would be glad to have you!

Okay, McGavock looks to be the early favorite as they have advanced to the finals of the 12AAA.625 district tournament with advancing to the LeRoy Wright Tourney Finals. MOUNT Juliet's JV team moves along to the finals beating Antioch and Hillboro while advancing to the finals. Who won tonight?

Looks like Brentwood and Ravenwood are heads and shoulders above anybody else in 11AAA. Both are well coached and will do well this season. Indy has had some nice early wins and Hillsboro at the absolute worse seems to be at least number 4. Not a lot of difference though between 3 and 6, we shall see!

Top three could go either way, bottom three are really bad. SC not a bad #4 at all McClung can shoot the mess out of it!

Did Shelton play for BW during the Ravenwood play day?

Cane Ridge looked pretty good at the Siegel Play Day, should be the early 12 AAA favorites with their play.

Hunters Lane-Year in, year out, solid. Cane Ridge-Pressure will finally be on them to produce, on paper 12AAA's most talented group. McGavock- Still one of the larger high schools in the state Overton-Rebuilding Hillwood-Could be the surprise team in 12AAA Antioch Glencliff

1. Brentwood- Hands down favorite 2. Hillsboro 3. Ravenwood Good luck guessing after that District will be down a little this year after first three.

I hear the former boys coach @ Sycamore may be going to West Creek to fill that opening....

Another heavyweight fell tonight, Hendersonville is out at the hands of John Overton. JOHS 3 defending state champion Hendersonville 0!

12-AAA Tournament Finals John Overton- 68 Hunters Lane- 58 Scoring- Overton- Perry 18, Lobasco 16, Betts 14, Lewis 14, Wilson 8 HL- Head 16, Hughes 15, Harris 12, Johnson 10 Tournament MVP- Frank "The Tank" Lobasco- John Overton (33 points 24 rebounds)
