TN #47 DII-A #4
The Webb School 28-7 (Bell Buckle, TN) 62
TN #55 DII-A #5
Notes: This was a highly anticipated game for me with Alex Anderson (6-6 ’21 F Tipton-Rosemark Academy) going against Keon Johnson (6-5 ’20 G The Webb School) but Tysen Banks (5-11 ’19 G Tipton-Rosemark Academy) stole the game. He really did with his 9 steals. Anderson pitched in a strong double-double. Johnson got his third foul in the second quarter and received a technical following the call to pick up 4 fouls before halftime. This slowed him the rest of the game.

TN #15 DII-A #1
Tipton-Rosemark Academy 23-9 (Millington, TN) 40
TN #47 DII-A #4
Notes: Webb jumped out to a big lead and never looked back to get the first boys basketball championship in school history. Uriah Powers (6-4 ’20 F Webb) and Luke Burnett (6-2 ’20 G Webb) both shot the ball at a high percentage. Webb actually shot 61% as a team from the floor in the game. Keep an eye on Webb next year too because they will be bringing back the bulk of their team.

Notes: Kennedy Chandler (6-0 ’21 G Briarcrest Christian) showed why he is if not the best, but in the top two or three, underclassmen in Tennessee. He scored 18 of his 32 points from the charity stripe while only missing one freebie. He took over in the fourth quarter scoring 19 points with 17 of them being free-throws.

TN #142 DI-A #18
Notes: This was my first time seeing or hearing of Ben Austin (6-8 ’19 C McKenzie) and he is a beast. He was a very pleasant surprise and he is a fun one to watch. He just completely dominated the paint on both ends of the court. Kaleb Meredith (6-1 ’21 G University) had a very solid game in the losing effort.

TN #103 DI-A #9
Notes: One of my favorite players in Tennessee finally showed up to play and he produced big for his team. Anthony Jones Jr (6-5 ’19 F Humboldt) is a human highlight reel and he refused to lose defensively to help his team get to the championship game. Ben Austin (6-8 ’19 C McKenzie) racked up another good outing in the loss.

TN #36 DI-A #2
Humboldt 30-4 (Humboldt, TN) 60
TN #30 DI-A #1
Notes: Columbia Academy used the heat to win their first ever boys state championship. That heat came in the form of super hot shooting. They shot 65% from the floor with 10 out of 12 shots coming from behind the arc. Montrez Ward (5-7 ’19 G Humboldt) tried to offset the hot shooting Bulldogs but it wasn’t enough.

Junior guard trio of Kevin Brown (5-5 ’20 G Wooddale), Alvin Miles (6-0 ’20 G Wooddale) and Jonathan Duncan (6-1 ’20 G Wooddale) combined to go 18 of 28 from the field to provide solid contributions for Wooddale.

Notes: Wooddale nailed 18 of 20 free-throws and forced 23 turnovers to win the first ever boys basketball championship at Wooddale. Chandler Lawson (6-8 ’19 F Wooddale) continued to dominate the TSSAA state tournament and he won his fourth ring in as many years. He walks away from one of the most prestigious basketball states in America as one of the most successful players in its history.

Notes: Memphis East finished the season without Malcolm Dandridge (6-9 ’19 F Memphis East) due to a season ending injury. Tadarius Jacobs (6-2 ’21 G Memphis East) impressed me coming off the bench with a very solid game. James Wiseman (7-1 ’19 F/C Memphis East) added a big double-double despite being double and triple teamed the entire game. Derrein “Dee” Merriweather (6-1 ’19 G Memphis East) also had a hot game going 4 of 5 from behind the three-point line.

Notes: Wow, what an anticipated match up with two powers going at it. This Bearden team is so well coached and deep with talent. If you try and slow a weapon or two down they will hit you with three more. Watch out for this Whitehaven team next season as they will be one of the favorites to be back in the championship tournament.

Notes: You can’t find a better state championship game in the country than this. East has been running the show and Bearden finally was able to get over the hump to get the first boys basketball championship in school history. James Wiseman (7-1 ’19 F/C Memphis East) had another monster game to finish out his stellar prep career. It wasn’t enough to overcome Jacques “Ques” Glover (6-0 ’19 G Bearden) and Trent Stephney (6-1 ’19 G Bearden). Shamarcus Brown (6-5 ’19 F Bearden) continued his solid and steady playoff run. Drew Pember (6-10 ’19 F Bearden) didn’t have his best stat game during the playoff run but his play was as crucial as ever in the final minutes of the trophy game.
