4AA District Playoff: Fulton Full of Confidence and Talent

<p><span style="font-family: terminal, monaco, monospace">Fulton and Alcoa earned the top two seeds.  Both have the talent to make it to the state tournament.  Neither will face an incredible foe before the regionals and perhaps might move out of the regionals without being wholly challenged.  </span></p> <h2> </h2> <h2> </h2> <h2>Postseason District Tournament Seeds</h2> <p>#1 Alcoa<br /> #2  Fulton<br /> #3 Scott<br /> #4 Austin-East<br /> #5 Kingston</p> <h2>Postseason Matchups</h2> <p>GAME 1: #4 Austin-East vs. <strong><span style="color: #00ff00">#5 Kingston</span></strong></p> <p>#5 Kingston vs. #1 Alcoa<br /> #2 Fulton vs. #3 Scott</p> <h2>Regional Qualifiers</h2> <p>Alcoa<br /> Fulton<br /> Scott<br /> Kingston</p> <p><span style="font-size: 18pt"><strong>Familiar Faces</strong></span></p> <p><b>Dudda Lacy </b>played fantastically for Fulton High in the last two state tournaments.</p> <p><span style="font-size: 18pt"><strong>Austin-East Ousted</strong></span></p> <p>A tough two years concluded for the Austin-East fans.  </p> <p>https://twitter.com/Fultonhoops/status/1231038884752089088?s=20</p> <p><span style="font-size: 18pt"><strong>Alcoa sees Kingston Again</strong></span></p> <p>Alcoa just hosted the Yellowjackets of KHS for the Alcoa Senior Night.  After Kingston's mild upset of Austin-East Friday evening the two familiar foes are set to renew their rivalry.  See the full boxscore of the most recent clash below.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h4>ALCOA TORNADOES 78, KINGSTON YELLOWJACKETS 69</h4> <p>K .. 16 .. 23 .. 19.. 11 .. — 69</p> <p>A .. 11 .. 22 .. 19 .. 26 .. — 78</p> <p>ALCOA: T.J.
