9AA has better post play but weaker guards. Cheatham and Harpeth should win any game that is close giong into the last 5 min. That is pretty much what happened in the Cheatham/Page game. If lawson is healthy Cheatham wins over Loretto, if not, could be close. If Harpeth gets back to early form ( Ellis has to get back to making people open by driving and shooting then hitting the open player when she is stopped instead of looking to pass first ) then Cheatham will face a better and bitter Harpeth. Personally, I'd like to see Cheatham & Harpeth tied 2-2
when they meet in the state finals.
Ellis is the best player in that region. As she goes, so goes harpeth.
