Final

Shocker. Collins took them too lightly.

You would think but Collins struggled against SC both times in the regular, won by 2 first meeting and by one in the second.

True. Neighborhood battles. Records usually go out the window. Great win for Shelby Co.

The Rockets finally got their first win over the Titans. Collins certainly did not play their best, but Shelby played a great game. I'm not sure they missed a shot in the 4th quarter in which they scored 34 points. Both teams have a chance to make some noise in the region next week.

Not a shocker...Collins just really isn't a dominately strong team, and Shelby is clicking at the right time and had the advantage of being on their home court. I would not have bet against Shelby going into the game...and I guess its a good thing I didn't.

One thing is for sure, the 8th Region Tournament is going to be fun.

You could argue that the district winners are getting a worse draw than the losers this year. Does anyone know what day the tournament starts?
