I was not able to find anything about this addition to the rule on the TSSAA web site. When/how was this info announced?

The Memphis game times were moved to 4pm. Christian Brothers vs McCallie Briarcrest vs Brentwood Academy So there should be great crowds and you can still get home in time to see the big game.

wow. can you provide any details about the game?

I know that they split in the regular season. Who won the the West Region Finals on Saturday night?

Has MBA announced who will be their new defensive coordinator? Is there a likely promotion from within?

Great hire for FRA. Pack is a very good coach and the guy has a lot of personality. He reminds of a Bruce Pearl type who can really sell the program. This is a huge loss for Ensworth--they lose a defensive coord. and a girls basketball HC (a very good one).

Sounds like things are getting messy in the West with the seeding controversy. The five teams in the Middle region to qualify are Ryan, Ensworth, Baylor, BA, and McCallie. The semi-finals will be McCallie vs Baylor and BA vs Ryan. I can't believe that McCallie managed to beat Ensworth--big upset. The Baylor-McCallie game will be very emotional and huge rivalry game. Same goes for the BA-Ryan game--they were 1-1 against eachother this season with Ryan winning on a buzzer beater the 2nd time they played. Should be very exciting.

This is going to be a very exciting region tournament. The top five teams are all capable of making a run. Ryan and Ensworth have been very tough and the most consistent throughout the season. BA absolutely whacked MBA by 20+ on the road on Friday night. That is a dangerous #4 seed.

The Div II Middle Region tournament is going to be very exciting. Not much seperates the first five teams: Ryan, Ensworth, MBA, Baylor, BA...any one of them could win it. Ryan has been very strong with its only loss to MBA. Ensworth is obviously very good. MBA has had a strong finish to the season. BA is on a terrible losing streak but has been very competitive and can beat anyone. Baylor could be a sleeper.

BA vs Ensworth rematch tomorrow night. This time it's at Ensworth. It's going to be a great crowd. Who's going to win the 2nd time around?

I never used the word "dominated." BA was in "control" the entire game. Despite the fact that Ensworth never got closer than 5-6 points it was still a very competitive game. And you are mistaken in saying that Ensworth was up most of the 1st quarter. If you look at the box score the first quarter finished at 23-14 BA. That was the most lobsided quarter of the game. I would expect the next game at Ensworth to be another very competitive game.

BA beat Ensworth by 10+. They were in control the entire game. Ensworth never got within 6pts. BA played really well. It was a great atmosphere.

This is going to be a must see game. Not sure what to predict other then a very close hard fought game. Even without T. Jefferson Ensworth is off to a great start. It's going to be a great atmosphere. The battle for the top Div. II team in middle TN is between these two teams.

This tournament opens up today and features the following teams: Brentwood Academy, Livingston Academy, Haywood Co., Independance, Riverdale, Sycamore, Union City, and Mt. Juliet. Who do you think will win it? I predict BA and Union City in the finals this year. They are on opposite ends of the bracket. Some great potential match-ups include BA vs Haywood Co. in the 2nd round. Sycamore and Riverdale in the 1st round should be a good game. Features the following stud players: Chase Dunn (LA), Ricky Taylor (Haywood), Jacob Stallings (BA), MJ Brown (UC), Micheal Young (Riverdale). Some good talent.

I know that Brentwood Academy and Lipscomb will be in it again. Not sure who else. Last year it was a great tournament. It featured: BA, Lipscomb, Union City, Ensworth, Pioneer Christian, Haywood County, White House, etc. The tournament is schedule for Dec. 20-22 this year.
