Region 3-AA

[mtnman]

This region is crazy.

 

CCS (4th seed) beats Tyner (1st seed) by 10 points.

Brainerd (2nd seed) beats Hixson (3rd seed) by 15 or so.

East Ridge (1st seed) beat Polk (not much of a surprise)

Howard (2nd seed) beats Boyd (3rd seed) by five.

 

up next-

 

CCS vs Howard (if Boyd came play with them... CCS should be able to) Howard is playing without Darius Ricks. He is a difference maker. I would hate to see Howard lose after such a great season. CCS would have to play very well.

Brainerd vs East Ridge - this should be an awesome game. If Wells is hot, Brainerd could go down. Nice to see all-hamilton County going up to Clev State for region tournament.

I am surprised by CCS winning at Tyner. Not too surprised by the Brainerd score. Brainerd is tough if you play man and that is what Hixson plays. Boyd played well. They had a great plan for Howard. They played zone most of the game. Howard does not shoot it well. Why anyone would play them man is beyond me. When Boyd had to go man, they had alot of trouble. Boyd still had their chances. They missed a few easy looks and were a little passive at the start on offense. But they gave it great effort. Congrats Howard and Boyd on a well played game.

Earlier in the season CCS lost to Tyner 62-60.

 

(For those that were there that was the game where the fire alarm went off with 2 seconds remaining right before the last play of the game - CCS missed a jumper to tie)

This whole region is good. There are at least 10 good teams in this region counting the 8 that played tonight and then count Polk and Sequatchie. Maybe even throw Meigs into the equation. Tough region. Tellico was a . 500 team from district 5AA and Boyd played a killer schedule and won 18 games.

 

Fun region. Congrats to all winners. Losers have nothing to be ashamed of.

[Coniglio]

Add McMinn Central in there too.

[tennesseebball]

That is true. Left them out. They should have been in the eight that were playing tonight to be honest.

[Coniglio]

Very correct. I believe it was Tellico that upset them in the district?

[supersteve17]

What I like about this region is the mutual respect that the players and coaches seem to show for each other. I know the coaches and players in district 5 have great respect for each other.

 

Howard has a classy program. Coach McGary (and their staff) does a great job for the Hustlin' Tigers. Satterfield and Allen really stepped up for them tonight. The second quarter doomed the Bucs chances. They played well except for about three minutes in the second. The Tigers took advantage of that stretch and held on for the win.

 

Congrats to the Tigers and best of luck. The semis and finals at CSCC should be fun.

Correct.

Howard seemed to be lost without D.Ricks. Taylor didnt step up like he should have and Allen didnt play up to his potential. I wouldnt be surprised if they lost to CCS because PG is the Achilles heel for the tigers. As the tournaments have begun Reynolds has been cracking under pressure. Satterfield has to play like he did against Brainerd. But without Ricks this team seems to be in a daze and without him I am not sold on them but when they have him thats who I place my money on.

Maybe they can get "the bald ref" everyone on both sides loved so much to come back for the region final. As long as he skips the girls' game, lol.
