The 3A division kicked things off yesterday at the glass house, providing fans in attendance some excitement as they watched some talented hoopers get after it in the hardwood. These clubs were ready to hoop and showed everyone why they were the top clubs in their area, punching their ticket to the big dance. It was truly some gritty basketball as teams from around the state got down to business. Ultimately, the best teams won, but the squads that went down did so with a fight. Here is a recap of the score from the 3A division of the state championship rounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Dyersburg 46</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Daniel Boone 36</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Alcoa 48</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Tullahoma 44</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Cocke Co. 59</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Liberty Creek 44</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>White Co. 69</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Covington 49</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Check out the final 4 matchups for the 3A division.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Dyersburg</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Alcoa</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Cocke Co.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>White Co.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wonder how these teams advanced?

She finished with 18 points and 12 boards, lighting it up inside the arc. This kid has an impressive jumper, and it was on display for all to see as she found the bottom of the net. A true hooper, look for her to be the main ingredient as this club looks to bring the gold ball home to West Tennessee. <br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["810523"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69b4b0b998f0a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">With their backs against the wall, AHS leaned on one of their leaders to help them advance to the next round. Gwen was clutch, getting it done from both inside and out. Finishing with 20 points, 5 boards, she found the bottom of the net when her team needed a bucket. She was impressive from the field, but it was her threes that were big time for her team. This talented ballplayer will be called upon once again as her team moves on. Keep your eye on this Carson -Newman signee. This senior isn't done yet and is ready to cap off an impressive career by bringing home the gold ball.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1445593"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69b4b0b998f51"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">his sharpshooter was in her bag as she led the charge for her club. Finishing with 19 points, she went 5-11 from three and 6-13 inside the arc. Playing with such confidence, she not only played spectacular offense, but did her thing on the defensive side of the ball as well. She stepped it up and delivered when her name was called. Look for her to ramp it up even more as her team advances to the final 4 round of the 3A state championships.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["636400"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69b4b0b998f92"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Did all she could in her team's defeat. This dual-sport athlete, who will be heading to Western Kentucky on a softball scholarship, capped off an impressive career with 20 points and 8 boards. She was the driving force behind her team's magical run to the state round. Though they came up short, this young lady helped set the standard of what the Lady Wolves club should be.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["907580"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69b4b0b998fd3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Was the bright star for her club even though they went down in defeat. Finishing with 28 points and 12 boards, she found ways to put the ball in the net. Finishing 10-12 from the free-throw line, she displayed aggressive play as she got downhill and finished at the rim. This kid is a special talent and will be in a prime position to get her team back to this position next season.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["893861"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69b4b0b999011"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">She answered the phone and delivered for her club as they move onto the next round. Finishing with 31 points and 11 boards, she was too much to handle as she consistently found the bottom of the net. This kid was on fire, and Covington didn't have an answer for shutting her down. She picked them apart as she found her spots on the floor. This University of the Cumberlands signee was a big factor for her team and will look to replicate this performance as they advance to the next round. <br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
