2A Region 2

[TNhoopsfan]

As of today it's Kingston with a 1 game lead on Sweetwater, and everyone has 3 district games remaining.  Tellico at Kingston, Meigs at Sweetwater, Loudon at Central tonight. I heard the big from Central was ejected last night in their game vs Mcminn County, so Loudon has an opportunity to go there and get a win. They are playing pretty good right now. I always feel like Meigs will compete wherever they play, and I expect Tellico will play better vs Kingston this time.  The next week will determine the top 1-5 spots.  Apparently the district tournament is satellite and the higher seed will host, with the region at Tellico - or at least that's what I've been told.

Kingston	7-1
Meigs County	5-3
Sweetwater	5-3
Loudon	4-4
McMinn Central	3-5
Tellico Plains	0-8

Meigs plays Kingston Friday and I think Meigs gets the win at home but Kingston will beat Tellico and get the 1 seed, but a lot can still change 2-5

Kingston won at Meigs on Friday and sealed the #1 seed.  Kingston plays Loudon tonight, while Meigs plays Central and Sweetwater at Tellico.  Sweetwater will get the #2 seed with a win at Tellico, Loudon and Meigs still playing for the 3-4 seeds, which is important because the district tourney is satellite and the higher seed hosts. Still quite a bit to play for, but I have no idea how the tie breaker would swing if they have the same district record.

Definitely surprised to see Sweetwater beat Kingston last night, I really think Kingston and Meige are the two best teams in the district but that’s why you play the game. But with that being said I think SW is the only D3 team to get a win. But I think they will be some close games Saturday night.

Unfortunately it was a typical game vs SW, slow, grinding, and them shooting a lot of free throws. Kingston had no pace, couldn't throw it in the ocean, and couldn't keep SW off the free throw line.  I've heard Polk Co is a mirror of SW, so that game may be less than 80 total points scored.  We'll see about Kingston vs CSAS. If it was at their place I'd feel differently, but them coming to Kingston helps a lot.  Meigs & Loudon both traveling to Chatt and would have to play their best games of the year, but I never count Meigs out regardless.  They can score, have multiple ball handlers, defend well and they are experienced.  Never know this time of year.

Some interesting games coming up Saturday. I give Meige a chance because of what you said, Armour and Meadows can score. Meadows had 37 against Loudon, so you never know, but they will have to play good to get a win.
