While the third day the 2019 TSSAA Basketball State Tournament didn't have nearly as many dunks as the first two, the one's that did happen were huge and the blocks that guys like James Wiseman, Chandler Lawson and Anthony Jones recorded had the crowd in a frenzy.

Check out the top plays from a full day of semifinal action.

Wooddale's Chandler Lawson slams it home off of the fast break

Left open after initially missing a shot, Lawson made sure that he wasn't going to miss this one. He finished the game with 14 points on 4-8 shooting as the Cardinals punched their ticket to the Class AA championship game.

Bearden's Drew Pember finishes the awkward alley-oop

Already up by 16, Pember capped off Bearden's 76-60 win over Whitehaven with this off-balance alley-oop that he somehow got to fall. Pember finished the game with 19 points on 6-9 shooting and 10 rebounds.
