Its basketball time my friends and as always I am criss-crossing the state to bring you all the information that I can gather. Here is the first run of our weekly state scoring list that has become one of the most enjoyed features that we present.
College coaches have told me this is their favorite segment as they can see who is doing what in all three segments of the hoops landscape in the state of Tennessee.
The region scoring list getting prepared for the sub-state games on Monday. I have also incorporated the DII Region/State Tournament scoring results into this list.
Congrats are in order for Michael Mays (Tennessee) as he surpassed the 1,000 point barrier for his career. Congrats.
Anthony Yarbrough (Harding Academy) had a masterful time at the DII/Class A state tournament garnering MVP honors with a 40 point, 17 rebound performance after being down by over 20 points and initiating the comeback against FRA.
Kirk Kemp (Lawrence County) may not be a household name but the rising senior guard is willing to change that status after dropping 27 in the region opener to Stewart's Creek then getting 26 against region powerhouse Blackman in the finals.
Brad McCurdy (Bradley Central) had the shining moment of his senior season as the Bears senior guard scored 25 point leading Bradley to a region semi-final upset of previously unbeaten White County.
Tyler Harris (Cordova) wants to leave no doubt his mark on the city. The region tournament was his starting with a 21 point effort against Munford followed up with 27 against Bartlett and finally 24 against Bolton in the region final.
Mr. Basketball finalist Kenny Cooper (FRA) went out like a boss. The Lipscomb signee had 26 in the region qualifier against St. George's then managed 21 in a the semi-final state tournament victory over Lausanne. He closed with another 21 point effort in a heartbreaking loss to Harding Academy.
Connor Arnold (Grace Christian) got the ball rolling hard with a 35 point effort against Coalfield in the region opener. The Rams hit the ground running defeating Meigs County in the region championship and will host Cosby tomorrow night in sub-state action.
