#4 Sycamore vs #5 Creek Wood (10AA)

[Guest catfish-hunter]

The District 10AA tourney begins on Monday night in Dover. The boys first round matchups are Harpeth-Stewart County, Cheatham-Mont. Central, and Sycamore-Creek Wood. The most anticipated of those three games is the Creek Wood-Sycamore game because both teams are just so darn evenly matched up with one another. Sycamore took the season sweep from the Red Hawks in two close games that were decided in the final minute of play. There are a bunch of solid seniors playing on both sides in this one: Derra & Darden (Creek Wood) and Rives, Watts, and Barksdale (Sycamore). Both of these teams ended the season with 6-6 records in the district and overall the Red Hawks are 11-15, while the War Eagles are 11-16 overall. I really can't predict a winner or loser of this game because when tourney time arrives you can be assured all bets are off. The winner of this game will play Waverly in the district semifinals on Wednesday night.

Well this is no doubt the toughest game to predict in the tournament. I think if these two teams played 10 times the record would be 5-5. It's who's hot on what night.

 

My prediction for this game is Creekwood over Sycamore because with Terrance Darden back, it is a big boost for Creekwood and I think they will advance in the tournament.

This is a tough pick. Both are very evenly matched and both teams can get hot at any time. I'm going to go with Sycamore just on the fact they have several seniors that are tournament tested. They've been in big games in the tournament before so I'll give them the edge.

I say with strong confindence Sycamore, but i would like Creek Wood. Why, because the winner plays waverly and i am sure Waverly could beat Creek Wood if they do happen to play.

So one of the almighty confident waverly fans is unsure of a win against sycamore??

Tip-off is set for Tuesday night at 8PM for anyone unsure. I don't care who you are out there folks because when that real nervous feeling hit you, then it is obviously postseason time. Win & you are still in, but lose & you are out.

 

I hope that Cheatham and Harpeth take care of business tomorrow night!!!

I've seen both teams play and i think that Sycamore will take this one. it will probably be a close game and come down to the last seconds. And like jp-tiger i also would like to see creekwood win just because during regular season sycamore was within 1-2 points. and yeah sycamore probably could beat waverly if it came down to it but i wouldnt count on it too much.

I've seen both teams play, and in my opinion i think Sycamore is the better team. They are more experienced in tournament play, and also have good shooters, and good post players. Sycamore by single digits. Will be a great game to see.

To answer your question dwil4560, it is in Dover (Stewart County High School).

I think Sycamore will come out tomorrow night fired up and beat Creekwood. Sycamore has enough players with lots of postseason experience. I think Sycamore will have good night offensively and defensively too. Also look for the big guy to take it coast to coast! Sycamore by double digits! thumb
