Interesting that you say that because if you go by the way they are seeded this weekend, Hickman and Camden are both higher seeds than Summertown.  

Didn’t know they seeded till after pool games / odd

Will be interesting to see how Summertown stacks up with Ravenwood. They are the team to beat in single A and would love to see them put a lick lick on a Wilco team if possible.

I don’t know that Hickman or Camden will have much luck against some of these schools, although their pools seem a little softer. I wonder if the Power pools play their own tourney after pool play or if it is all mixed? Regardless, looks like a fun weekend and will be watching results!

Ravenwood out Briarcrest Christian in  for Summertown / went from frying pan into the fire both would be great compensation / don’t know why some pools have 5 teams others 3 ?

Why do you think the tournament will be in Camden? 

Because the Region 5-A tournament location rotates between Districts 9 & 10. Locations the last four years were 2020 Harpeth (D10), 2019 Jo Byrns (D9), 2018 Hickman Co (D10), 2017 Waverly (D9). Last year was at Harpeth (D10) so if I have it right, it *should* revert to whoever wins District 9 this year. Which will easily be Camden - no contest vs. Jo Byrns or Waverly. 
 

District 10-A tourney will be at Santa Fe this year which isn’t close for Harpeth or even Hickman Co. (the two schools that will compete for the D10 championship)

All 3 are definitely top 5 single A teams for sure. But Summertown are reigning state champs with wins this year over 2 teams that went to AAA state last year.  That said, no one probably even really thinks about actually ranking single A teams when mixed in with some of the top state talent in those power pools. I just hope they all three can jump up and surprise someone!

Agreed. Not a favorable switch. I would have rather played Ravenwood than Briarcrest.

We should only take these games as learning or teaching moments / of course you want to win and Summertown doesn’t like to lose in anything but getting prepared for tournaments the ultimate goal / doubt these caliber teams be in 1A

Very curious why Briarcrest and Ravenwood were swapped around.  Briarcrest is ranked #2 in TN which tells me they should certainly be in one of the power pools.

For sure, just give it your best and use it as a learning experience/measuring stick as much as anything else.

Serving well (limit the errors) and playing great defense will win you a lot of points this weekend.
