TynerRamFan

So far your last sentence is correct!!

Good picks...all of these teams made it to the Semi-Finals!!

Congratulations to both teams from Region 2, Brainerd Panthers and the Tyner Rams!! They both won the Sub-State games in Overtime!! Murfreesboro here we come!!

Tough loss last night to a determined Brainerd team, 52-51. It defined the team's motto: #NoStruggleNoStory. Now our attention is turned to the Sectional (Sub-State for y'all old heads). Stay focused, rely on each other and let your Defense trigger your Offense!! Go RAMS!!!

This will be the 5th time in the past six(6) years that Tyner has competed for the Region Championship (2017-2022), winning twice. This will be Brainerd's 3rd time during the same period, winning twice. Good Luck to Coach Ward and the "RAMS" on tomorrow night!!

Tyner and Brainerd were hitting on all cylinders Tuesday night. Should be a replay of the District Championship game which was decided by 6 points. Regardless, both teams will have tough opponents on Monday night. I pray all have an injury free game and may the best team win!!

Intangibles which may or may not mean anything but gives you a summary of how the teams performed during the season: Meigs. Tyner Home 11-3. 8-3 Away. 5-5 7-4 Neutral 2-2. 6-2 Overtime. 1-1 2-0

Semi-Final breakdown: Meigs Co.(18-10) vs Tyner (21-9) Basically it comes down to match-ups and what's in a 16/17 year olds heart at this time in the season. The teams have a few common opponents, however, in my opinion Tyner's strength of schedule gives them the edge. Playing Cleveland, McCallie and Hamilton Heights was a big help. Other Tyner opponents are still alive: 3A Red Bank and 4A Walker Valley and the RAMS won both games! All of this means nothing, once the ball is tossed up Tuesday but I believe the RAMS will win after a close 1st half!! Polk Co. vs Brainerd Both teams coming off of emotional wins; this one is a toss-up due to them splitting the regular season games!!

I won't if they sell have a multi-game pass instead of charging $7.00 each night. They don't even give the senior citizens a break($4.00).

Beat CSAS by 10 and by 9. What team do you support?

As I said previously, Marion County wants that $$$ too much.

It's Meigs vs Tyner on Tuesday!!

As predicted 3 games could have gone either way..I was listening to the Polk/SW game and it was back and forth the entire time. I was getting updates from the Brainerd/Central game and Brainerd was up big and Central came back and made it a game in the 4th. I saw y'all's score at the half. How was the 2nd half??

CSAS at Central, 86-13, on point! Meigs at Tyner, 47-43, will comment on this one at the end. Marion at Tellico, 73-20, on point! Kingston at Polk, 54-35, you missed this one but that's ok! Now, if you were at the game you know Tyner's Girls got hosed by the referees. In my 30 years of following Tyner basketball, I have never seen a game where the officials looked like they had something riding on Meigs winning. Congratulations to Meigs on advancing, but you don't do that to any kid!! I never complain about the men in stripes but tonight was pitiful Both teams played hard but the fouls were one-sided and the technicals were unnecessary and un-explained. That's all I'm going to say other than I hope we never see those 3-Stooges again!!

Thanks, before I break down the Region match-ups, a big Congrats to my Tyner "RAMS'' for winning their 4th straight district title (2019-22). Polk vs Sweetwater- SW wins, however, PC is clever and tricky and they better figure out how to contain Milen & #21. McCentral vs Brainerd- Panthers will be tough to beat and MC will have problems with those guards!! CSAS vs Meigs- Patriots are like a sleeping giant; just when you think you got them, they wake up and score points in bunches. This game in my opinion is a toss up!! Kingston vs Tyner- Rams win without being over confident!

This time tomorrow night we will know our opponents in Region 2. Chattanooga teams should be favored at home and the 2 road teams have a chance as well to complete the sweep! My only prediction is this: the District-3 Champion will win on Saturday.

Friday night will be Meigs at Tyner. Haven't seen Kingston this year but Polk County in Benton will be a hard game for them. Tyner Girls have gotten much better since the beginning of the season so we will see how it goes!! Time to comment on the Boys thread!!

You were "on point" with your predictions back in November!! Can you do the same with the lottery?

Would really appreciate that. Thanks

2A-Region 2 is shaping up to be a exciting... even before the District Championships are played. I try not to go too far into the future but I can't help it... check this out: Sweetwater and Meigs will host either Polk or CSAS depending on the results on Tuesday. Tyner and Brainerd will host either McMinn Central or Kingston. Regional Semi-Final at Marion County will be something special.

Don't think they are because MC is trying to get every $$$ they can. Sorry it took me so long to respond.

Play-In game between Marion Co and Polk Co. is tonight @ 6;30(et). The winner will play Tyner tomorrow at 4:30(et). CSAS plays Brainerd @ 7:30

Just saw on Polk County's Facebook page that games scheduled tonight are cancelled and will be rescheduled due to weather. They will notify all teams when they are reset.

Dist. 3's Region teams are how they finished the regular season. The toss-up is Meigs/Central with the advantage going to Meigs. If that happens, the Final should be "barn-burner"!! Sweetwater had a 16 game winning streak until they played Howard the other night and lost by 11. Dist. 4's teams should be the same four...I have no doubt that Polk will beat Marion tonight, however it will be closer and might be a single digits game. If that happens, both semi-final games should be good ones.

Congratulations to E'Jay Ward for being named Coach of the Year in District 4-AA. Congrats to Nehemiah Bloodsaw of Tyner and Caleb Milen of Polk Co. as Co-Players of the year. Also All-District players from Tyner: Rodney Henderson, Xavier Fisher and Keelan Jackson.
