My apologies to Perry co on the "insult" I guess I would have taken offense as well lol. I thought I read somewhere that y'all were from west. So in that case hoping to see Perry and FCS in ship. But if this game continues like im hearing its going neither FCS or Mcewen has a shot. Good luck to everyone.

From watching FCS handle us in Clarkrange in the region Chapmionship. They looked like 2 completely different teams last night against Grace. I believe if FCS comes out to play like they did in region and substate then they will handle Mcewen and move onto the ship. I also cant believe how poorly Grace played last night. I dont know if it was just the different gym or what but they looked awful. When we went down to Grace in substate them boys couldn't miss. They had 2 guys well over 20, last night they couldn't throw one in the ocean. Sad to see, knowing if they played like that Crange could've been in state. But hats off to all teams there and I hope to see FCS win the whole thing, maybe that'll shut up some of the "West TN is best talk". Even though Perry and Lake counties are excellent ball teams. Good luck to you guys today and in the ship!!!

If you've ever seen Grace's gym then you know why Crange was sitting behind them. It is a very small gym. might be lucky to hold 400 people. There wasn't a choice but to sit behind their bench. Their gym is so small Clarkrange got one side of the gym and Grace got the other. I've seen many elementary schools bigger than that HS gym. I'm pretty sure this thread is the "boys" thread not the girls. Congrads to the lady devils and Bulldogs in the finals. But on the boys side, which is what this thread is about, I didn't see Jcounty or Clay make it past the second round of Region, looked to me like Crange made it farther than anyone in the district. And as far as the gym goes it is Clarkrange's home gym. They can turn the heat up as high as they possibly want to turn it up. Adn if you want to sit in the front then get there early. No one is stopping you from sitting anywhere in that gym but you better get there early enough for a seat. If not then have fun sitting in the top. And how does the heat not help? I'm pretty sure in their home gym the girls and boys both beat clay county. I'm pretty sure during the regular season the girls and boys swept clay county. the only time that Clay beat Clarkrange was district tourney on "girls" side, not boys. If you wanna talk crap about the girls then go to a girls thriead and do it. you have nothing to say about Clay boys being better than Crange boys on this thread!

Congratulations to Clarkrange on their season this year, and Grace for the win. This was a well played ball game, both teams left everything on the floor. As for the incident, it was an absolute disgrace to both schools and the sport in general. I dont care who's fault or who started what. It's ridiculous that anything like this happened. Fans should leave crap alone, why throw water? Clarkrange lost a close game to a good team. It jst blows my mind how immature some "adults" are. The coach should have never done anything either regardless of what was thrown. This should have never happened. I hope the proper actions are taken place by both sides of the situation and not just Grace's coach. Garbage like this is what gives schools and players a bad name. Those kids went out and played their heart and soul out for that ball team and their fans and their fans ruin their moment by showing their tails. I feel bad for the Crange and Grace ball players for having to witness that. Congradulations to Chad and Cody Henry and Jacob Masters for a wonderful 4 year career. We will definantly miss you guys. good luck to Grace in their run for the gold.

the only reason I asked about the gym is because 3-4 years ago Clarkrange traveled to Grace for a substate game and the game was heald at CSAS's gym. I did't know if it was going to be the same situation this year. I'm glad Grace gets to host their game in their own gym, they deserve it. But if it only holds 300 that could be a big problem. Clarkrange fans will travel well. They usually always do, and i'm very sure Grace will pack a crowd, as they should. It could easily get well over 300 peole there. and if some fans that drove 3 hours from Clarkrange is not able to get in it could end up a problem. Clarkrange girls went through the same situation 4 years ago when they hosted substate game and had too many people in the gym and a bunch of other mess and as far as I know they are still banned from hosting a substate game. But I dont care where the game is held I was just trying to find out so that I know where to get directions too. I'm not very familiar with Chattanooga so dont wanna be driving all over the place trying to find a school I'm not supposed to be at. But good luck to both teams tomorrow night. Hope for a good game.

So does anyone know much about grace? Im hearing they will have to "host" the game at a different gym. I know nothing about their team and just seeing if anyone will know how crange can matchup against them?

I agree. As I said earlier I thought the winner of crange and FC would ne headed to state. I believe FC will beat csas easily. I know pickett co played them toward end of season and won by 9. I also think crange has a great chance st going to the big dance. Of course its tough to travel bit the way they've been playing they are more than capable of beating grace

I dont completely understand how the drive matters if you are a ball fan of the specific school? I know last year Clarkrange played Friendship in Watertown, which is around a 2 hour drive and Clarkrange fans still traveled very well. I'll admit that is a horrible drive regardless of which way you look at it. I guess its just me though. I wouldn't care what night during the week or where Crange were playing at, I would be traveling to the game, expecially it being such a big game in the region tournament! I'm not in all this FCS private vs public school mess. Dont really care about all that. I know FCS has an outstanding basketball team this year and Crange better show up to play ball. Good luck to both teams thursday night. I believe the winner of this game will be headed to the state tournament, and also believe that whoever loses has a really good chance in also going to state. The Chattanooga teams are not the same as they were last year and the years before. The 2 upsets last night eliminated the top 2 teams in that region. But again good luck to everyone thursday night. Hope to see a good ball game.

I believe it could happen. Crange played Grace in the summer, granted that was a very long time ago, and lost by 1. I believe whichever team hosts the substate will win. But do also think the traveling team has a legitimate chance at winning and advancing as well. Both FCS and Crange played great ball tonight, and if they play like that against any team in the other region they can win the game.

Your right. the second quarter was a disaster all the way around for watertown. It's hard to come back from that kind of deficit in a tournament game. Watertown scored 2 points in the second quarter. they had 7 at half, which wont win against a good team. I stayed for most the FCS game until it got too out of hand. They played a dominating game and basically had it under control the whole game. Hopefully the same Clarkrange team shows up thursday that showed up tonight. I seen in region 3 that there were 2 upsets. CSAS beat Lookout and Grace beat Van Beauren. both games were by 10 points. could make for an interesting substate matchups for FCS and Crange!

Looks like crange is moving on to championship and substate. With a great game over Watertown. So much for Watertown winning by 12, 17, and everything else.

according to the TSSAA website all the region games are 7:00pm local time. I had to see what days the semi's and finals in region were and it mentioned saturday's games being at 7

This can be a great region tournament. I believe there are good matchup to start. Watertown has beat PC three times so that will be interesting. I believe FCS is still favored but think clay matches up well with them. Clarkrange, if they come to play, should have best chances of advancing past round one. And gordonsville and Jcounty will be really close with Jcounty playing awesome recently. Might as well throw my pics in the mix. Clay upsets FCS Watertown beats PC in close game Clarkrange beats trousdale by double digits Jcounty beats gordonsville in close game

Im not 100%I sure on the whole ban thing. I know the girls were banned because of the undefeated season when they hosted a substate. The gym was full 3 hours before the game started and visitors had no where to sit. Basically had to make people move, which understandably could be fire hazard, etc. Crange is a very small gym for girls to usually host region/substate games and it should be fixed and made larger. I just know for some reason it didn't apply to boys since they hosted RBS last yr in region so it may just be substate but I really don't know.

I dint think it would happen either crange prolly play freshman and still win the game. Jackson might have been in district finals but its not always been this district. They were a AA school not too many years ago. Like 5 or 6 maybe. But regardless that's pretty good if they have done that even in AA
