Four games dot the lineup featuring some of the best players in the state.

At 4:00 Marshall County makes the trip into Nashville to battle Antioch. The Tigers are led by a pair of talented guards in Maleek Sain (Marshall County) and Caleb Fields (Marshall County). The Bears of Antioch will rely on the youth brigade but will turn to Donnie Malone (Antioch) when points are needed.

The Panthers of Maplewood take the stage for the 5:30 clash against the Tigers of Fayetteville High School. The Panthers will gel behind the talents of rising junior guard Bo Hodges (Maplewood) and some emerging teammates while Fayetteville is led by Belmont signee and Class A Mr. Basketball favorite Nick Hopkins (Fayetteville).

Up and coming Class AAA powerhouse Cane Ridge takes the hardwood at 7:00 battling out of state power Duluth, Georgia. The Ravens are off to a rousing start led by a pair of signees in Kyree Elder (Cane Ridge), who has inked at Arkansas-Fort Smith and Brandon Dansoh (Cane Ridge), who signed with Tusculum. Duluth, long a power in the Peach State, features several players garnering high D1 looks.

In the nightcap the host Cobras of White's Creek look to strike the visitors from the West, the Wildcats of Bolton. White's Creek is led by rising junior climber Rout Monyyong (White''s Creek) and a solid group of contributors while Bolton looks to the top ranked player in the state of Tennessee and UNLV signee Jalen Fisher (Bolton).

Lets get out and do our part and help support the basketball in this state by making the trip up to White's Creek for this event.
