High School Basketball Enters Last Week of the Regular Season

It’s the final week of the regular season for high school basketball teams in the Upper Cumberland, and much is left to be decided in area District races. A total of 28 doubleheaders will be played between Monday and Saturday nights, with 18 of those having District implications.

Thus far, only five teams have clinched regular season championships out of 12 total girls’ and boys’ districts that feature teams from the Upper Cumberland. Those teams include: the Whitwell Lady Tigers, winners of the District 6-1A Regular Season Championship; the Clay County Lady Bulldogs and Bulldogs, respective winners in District 7-1A; the Coffee County Lady Red Raiders, champs of District 6-4A; and the undefeated Cookeville Lady Cavaliers, regular season champs in District 9-4A.
