Big Game Players Make Big Game Plays!

Cleveland secured a nice win, 48-37 over Walker Valley. The Blue Raiders have suffered a lot of losses this year, but continue to grow as a team. Entering the season, they were forced to replace some fantastic seniors, such as Kley McGowan and Grant Hurst. The ’23 class is not unexperienced, but they are stull truding uphill with 13 losses currently. The win tonight helped Cleveland improve to 6-3 within the district. They could have fallen to fifth with a loss to rival Walker Valley. Big, big win as they chase Howard and McMinn County, two teams with plenty of seniors.

Knoxville Catholic vs. McCallie

Two powers clashed with Knoxville Catholic and McCallie. Knox Cath star Brian Edwards (#3 in 2022) finished with 32 points and Blue Cain Blue Cain 6'4" | SG IMG Academy | 2023 State #102 Nation FL (#1 in 2023) recorded 16 points.

Now that Edwards and Cain are making the extra pass, the team is virtually unstoppable most nights. Imagine defending Blue Cain Blue Cain 6'4" | SG IMG Academy | 2023 State #102 Nation FL , hoping against hope to stop him from scoring and he feeds a teammate. Defenders must be slapping their foreheads in frustration.
