Any of the top 3 could win it. They all play very different styles. Any upsets possible outside of the 4/5 matchup?

Buffalo cold be a sleeper and could make some noise in this one.

I think Buffalo and Fair Grove should flip flop their seeds. Agree that anyone of the top 3 could win it. It's early in the season so the advantage may go to the teams that have the most players back.

West Plains is the best team in the tournament.

It is hard to bet against West Plains, they have been a consistent top team for decades it seems- death, taxes, and West Plains being tough as nails.

West Plains is always a tough team, well prepared and just tough competitors...will be interesting to see how this tourney ends up.

West Plains, Fair Grove, Rogersville, and Clever all have been good in recent years. Buffalo is also competitive. Clever and Rogersville played in the championship game of this tournament last year and they both graduated strong senior classes. This will be a competitive tournament. Seedlings are probably correct.

Buffalo pulled off the upset tonight. Could be a tough matchup moving forward in this tournament. West plains, Clever, and Fair Grove are still playing to win it.

Yes I heard it was a great game with several momentum changes. Lebanon was down by 15 in the third quarter and got back in it, but credit Buffalo for hanging in there and pulling off the upset

Tonight:

Buffalo vs West Plains
Fair Grove vs Clever

Who makes it to the finals?

 

[Razzy417]

West Plains will apply pressure, which Buffalo didnt handle great at times against Lebanon, but Buffalo has the 6' Lancaster girl and West Plains has no size, so it should be a good battle. But I think West Plains pulls it out.

Clever also has size along with balance in their starting line, great passing team and 4 girls that can knock down 3's plus the 6'1 Gladney in the middle. They can really spread the court. Fair Grove is ultra quick and fast with some good 3 point shooters but not much of an inside game. If Clever handles the Fair Grove press and close out on their outside shooters well then they should win.

You were right. They upset 3 seed Lebanon on a last second shot but then lost by a lot to West Plains
