Cookeville at Bradley

Cleveland @ Rhea Co

McMinn @ White Co 

Stone @ East Ham

East Ham, White Co & Stone are in same side of bracket & tourney is at White Co HS. Should be some good games.

Nothing would surprise me in all but one of these games, but with Stone as a 3 seed, they are probably the favorite vs East Ham. Hayes will have to stay out of foul trouble (unlike tonight). White Co seems to be peaking at the right time, so they should handle McMinn Co. A semifinal matchup with Stone should be a good one, with a trip to Sectionals on the line. 
Interesting matchup with Tony Williams heading to Rhea Co to play against girls he coached in MS (although I think a few of those girls may have ended up at Meigs Co). Was Hampton at Rhea Middle when he was up there?

The stone game is at East Hamilton. So not a more familiar court.

Ahhh. You are correct! I forget about hosting the first round, but I do like the rule for several reasons. Thanks!

Stone beat EH by 24 when they met earlier in the season, but that was AT Stone and it was early in the season. I hope the lady panthers can control the game and come out on top again. Not even looking ahead until that game takes place.

I think Stone will win, but I keep thinking Hayes will turn it on in a big game, & she may only have one more opportunity left...

I’m counting no chickens until they hatch. One game at a time... Hayes is legit, and no doubt she will fight for her season to continue.

Jacelyn Stone was the only girl from Rhea to head to Meigs. I’m not sure of the years Coach Williams was @ Rhea middle. 
Should be an interesting game for sure.

Hayes can’t beat Stone by herself (or with the rest of her team for that matter). I’ll eat a raw basketball if that happens.  She scored all her points tonight when it didn’t matter... playing catch-up down by 30+

Stone will have their way with EH.

What is a raw basketball?

Tony Williams coached those seniors as 8th graders, I think they went 24 and 1 with the only loss coming to Meigs middle that year. Those girls have always been winners.
