Bearden beat WB and Maryville beat Catholic 60-41

Bearden game was ugly. If they play like that on Tuesday, Maryville will win. Maryville is out to make a statement as well.

3AAA Seeds: 

1) Powell 

2) Oak Ridge 

3) Anderson County 

4) Karns 

Powell 60 Oak Ridge 58 

AC over Karns 2OT 

Where will the Region 2 semi-finals and finals be held?

I believe how this works is that it will be at the highest seeded District 4 team still alive. So the winner of the Bearden/Maryville game will have the inside track to host. If they are both eliminated, then it will go to either Catholic or William Blount if they advance. If no District 4 team advances to the semifinals, then the region will be at Powell, the District 3 champion.

Highest seed hosts.

Bearden came out to play early, but after a 17 point lead at the half, they ended up down one at one point, then they managed to collect themselves to win 67-58. Joe Anderson played great, kept them in the game mostly.

Is it true that Maryville lost so they wouldn't have to face Oak Ridge in the semifinals? Take that RW87  You know I am joking. This should be a great Region Tournament.

Bearden has to be the favorite with Maryville # 2 and Catholic /Oak Ridge tied for # 3. The other teams will have to play like Powell did against OR on Friday, SOLID.

I'm glad to see both teams played to win. The Riverdale and Symyrna girls teams were kicked out of the post season in 2015 for losing on purpose to avoid  #1 Blackman.

Willie you mentiond this being a great region tournmanet, that's an understatment. It's going to be an unbelievable tournament.  Some very strong teams in this region.  We were looking at the numbers and the teams at the top of the bracket, 1) Bearden 33-1, vs. 4) Karns 21-7, 3) Oak Ridge 20-7 vs. 4) Catholic 21-7 have a combined record of 95-22. The teams on the bottom of the bracket 1) Powell 19-10, vs. 4) William Blount 13-16, 2) Maryville 24-6 vs. Anderson County 21-12 have a combined record of 77-44. This regional will be tough. Any of these teams can win this.  It's like an NCAA tournament lol

With the third quarter that Maryville had last night offensively and defensively, it looked to me like they were playing to win.

I would agree that Bearden is the heavy favorite. I would also agree that Maryville would be the favorite to emerge as the # 2 team and get a sectional berth. Powell is my # 3 pick and Oak Ridge is my # 4 pick- not because I think Powell is better than Oak Ridge but because I think it is more likely that Powell would beat Maryville in the tournament than it would be for Oak Ridge to beat Bearden on Bearden's home court.

Just in case, I was joking about Maryville trying to duck OR in Basketball  The Red Rebels only do that when Oak Ridge calls to try and schedule a football game

 

Once again, I am teasing. Don't be mad at my foolishness.
