Region 1-A Postseason

[BasketballMechanic1]

Been pretty quite for East Tn single A ball. How does 1-A shake out in the postseason? Thinking Hampton/North Greene for District and Region title? U High or Unaka have a shot. Any teams out of District 2 have a chance Cosby or Hancock, maybe Jellico. Interested to see everyone’s thoughts, going to try and make it out and watch a bunch of ball. Also where is Region Tournament this year?

I believe it's at Walters State isn't it?  It should be District 2 turn to host.

I don’t think anyone comes close to beating Hampton or NG. The other district is way down this year but everyone knows going to Jellico or Hancock in the region can be a test. I see both Hampton and NG making it to the state tourney…I believe it’s at Walters state this year

To be perfectly fair, aside from Cosby, District 2A has been down for nearly two decades.

NG v Jellico 

Hancock v Hampton 

NG v Hampton rematch in the finals . Both teams win sectional games

I’m going to go out on a limb and say either Jellico or Hancock pulls an upset. Watched them play and they’re playing at a high level at the right time, not same teams from a few months ago. District 2 is slept on a lot but either of those teams are capable in my opinion, which ain’t worth much! Also heard Cosby have Hampton some trouble the other night, and they’re the 4 from district 2, any truth to that?

The Cosby and Hampton score did seem much closer than expected. Hampton pulled away late but seemed like Cosby played them real tough for 3 quarters.
