<p>As we continue and dive back into our Fenzy Basketball Tournament action, we are going to combine the second round to save time. Remember, this tournament is a collective tournament, and it is as if all classifications were thrown into one big bracket. No matter if the school was public or private, everyone would be lumped into one big thing.</p>

<p><strong>Oak Ridge vs. Bearden</strong></p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Van Buren Co. vs. Lipscomb</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Gatlinburg- Pittman vs. Sevier Co.</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>CPA vs. Wayne Co.</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Chattanooga Christian vs. Heritage</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Talk about stellar guard play: you had Mo Mo vs. [player_tooltip player_id='810476' first='Carsyn' last='Swaney']. Talk about a nice tilt in action; these two guards went at each other, displaying a nice offensive game. However, it was the inside presence of [player_tooltip player_id='409073' first='Chloe' last='Heath'] that made all the difference. She dominated the inside, which helped Heritage advance, winning 3-1.</p>

<p><strong>Blackman vs. Knox Webb</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Westview vs. Ensworth</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Loretto vs. Dyersburg</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Two squads who dominated their district and region area.

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>PCA vs. Ezell Harding</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This I-24 matchup was one that could have gone either way. The Lady Eagles came out the gates strong and set the pace of play. They pressed, mixed their man and zones up, and really stifled the Lady Lions of PCA. However, PCA turned it up and did the same, sending the game into overtime. The Lady Eagles got into foul trouble, which PCA capitalized on. With their size on the interior, they were able to one-up the Lady Eagles. PCA advances, winning 3-2.</p>

<p><strong>Gibson Co. vs. USJ</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>USJ was on a mission as they picked up where they had left off from last year. Their guard play was just too much for Gibson Co. as both Ayers and Teague went to work. The duo both led the Lady Bruins attack, which enabled them to bring home the victory. USJ won 4-0.</p>
