Rhea County vs. F.C. Boyd
This game was a mismatch from the jump. Rhea County figuratively punched them in the face immediately and never let up until it was clearly out of reach.
They lead 35-10 midway through the second quarter! Kyler Akin Kyler Akin 6'0" | SG Rhea County | 2024 State TN worked hard to get out in transition in the first half. He was the frequent recipient of outlet passes and F.C. Boyd simply did not track back on defense. Last year Kyler was a 12 ppg guy and his game is even more refined as a senior.

Cleveland vs. Bradley Central
Bradley Central pulled away from Cleveland December 8th, to win the rivalry’s latest clash. The game taught several lessons. Cleveland is incredibly disciplined and mentally tough this year, but they lack the veteran talent of year’s past. There probably is not a future college basketball player among the senior class, which is unheard of at Cleveland lately. Morell Schramm, Alex Hyder, Kley McGowan, Grant Hurst, Jasen Brooks, etc.
With defense and effort, Cleveland hung around, but they did not have the horses.
Bradley Central is a physical team and that suited this matchup well. Returning from an ankle injury, Jackson Ary Jackson Ary 6'8" | PF Bradley Central | 2024 State TN was quite good. The 6-foot-8 forward showed off his soft touch in and around the lane. Senior football-star Dee Reid Dee Reid 6'1" | PG Bradley Central (football) | 2024 State TN did plenty.
