Winner of this game meets Bryan Station in the finals of the tournament.

 

Thoughts? Predictions?

Holmes 62

Tates Creek 49

Tates Creek will be a tough game for Holmes. I'll take Holmes down the stretch by 8

Holmes should have a height advantage in this one. Not 100% sure about TC's starting lineup, but I'd think TC would go with this lineup:

 

6'2 Cuyler v 6'0 Riley

6'2 Fucci v 6'2 Housely

6'2 Daugherty v 6'4 J. Johnson

6'3 Barksdale v 6'5 R. Johnson

6'4 Garner v 6'7 Pittman

Barksdale is going to have to go off for TC to win...he might, but I'm going to go with Holmes.

It'll be interesting to see how he does with R. Johnson guarding him. In the preseason game between Holmes and TC, Rico didn't play.

Will this game be on the radio anywhere?????

Probably not.

I believe Holmes will win this game, but I am very suprised how many people picked them in the poll thus far. Tates Creek is a tough team. It seems like Holmes in playing a top team in the state nearly every game. I have been impressed with the results.

I'll certainly be cheering for Tates Creek in this one. :thumb:

Which is the reason so many people picked them to win.

 

Play top teams and win and you get recognition. Holmes has played and beaten TWO top 10 teams in the past WEEK. :thumb:

 

I agree though that Tates Creek is tough and will make it a game. They gave Holmes all they wanted in the preseason. Granted it was a scrimmage and Ricardo didn't play, they still had an impressive showing.
