NOBODY picked bradley to make final 4 let alone state, feels better to know that ths team that beat them went on to win state and ths team that beat walker valley, who was ranked 5th in state, got 2nd. They should do 3rd place game for bronze ball between the 2 semifinal losers to prove the real 3rd place team. Or do double elimination like they do in baseball/softball, even the playing field a little. For example loser of game 1 plays loser of game 3, 2 vs 4, then winners of those play the losers of the other games for 5th, then there's 2 teams in winners bracket and 2 in losers bracket, winners bracket plays semifinal 1, winner advances to championship, loser plays winner of losers bracket for 3rd place, semifinal 2, winner of losers bracket has to beat the other team 2 times, just like in baseball, sometimes it doesnt happen that way but usually. That could make all 8 teams play at least 3 different teams instead of 1 and done if u lose. It could create rematches from quarterfinals. Do this in boys AND girls in all classes. Have quarterfinals at higher seeded (ranked) schools, then for semis have east regions (1-4) play at utk and utc, west regions (5-8) play at vandy and memphis depending on ranking. Example: in girls: Bradley and coffee county would've got to host quarterfinal game instead of playing each other in 1st round since they were ranked 1st and 2nd. Had both won, they play each other at bradley (higher ranked team, or throw rankings out after qf and play at neutral site between both schools, in this example utc), winner goes to murfreesboro, Loser goes back home (coffee county) and waits the winner of the losers bracket, say bearden and oakridge. Loser of oak ridge bearden (oak ridge) is out and winner (bearden) plays AT coffee county (higher seed). Loser is out, winner goes to Murfreesboro. Do same thing for west regions (different locations obvipusly) and you have 4 teams playing in glass house instead of 8. Then it's single elimination. Then championship is best of 3. Or have higher ranked team host all the way til championship and have best of 3 at glass house. But in playoffs ranking means nothing
