I agree. But I don't think that East has the guardplay to win the region. If Bair shoots it well, they win. I think that if Fairview gets any decent guardplay out of J.D. Adams that they can win it all. Who for East can matchup with Terry? And if you find a matchup, who guards Collins?

I just think that Fairview has the most weapons. Not sure they can guard anyone, but it may not matter, they may scare a benjamin every night out.

I think your assessment of the Collins/Terry combo is exactly right. Collins was a force last season, until he twisted his ankle in the middle of the season. After he came back, he seemed to be willing to let Jackson do the heavy lifting. With Terry, Collins, and Jackson, the Eagles have a true three headed monster in terms of scoring. Those three are also supported by another three players that can score on a given night, and that makes them extremely tough to defend.

For East, I think Buck will be one of the key unsung players. As you mentioned Adams for Fairview, I see Buck in that same role for East.

Either way, these two teams will definitely be the powers going into the season, and barring injuries, they will be the two powers going into the districts and regional tournaments.

I just checked, and on February 13th, Fairview travels to Grayson, to play East Carter on Senior Night. That game will be a doozy.
