District 11AAA Regular Season Race
Pictured Above: Tre Carlton of Centennial
In February 2018, #1 seed Brentwood, #2 seed Centennial, and #3 seed Franklin all advanced to the Class AAA Region 6 semifinals.
Dickson County nearly delivered an 11 AAA sweep in Antioch High, but Cane Ridge’s feisty guards overtook the #4 seed, 77-67.
In yet another heated clash Brentwood High and Franklin High battered each other February twenty-seventh, 2018 with the Rebels advancing to and through the regional finals. FHS was the only team from 11 AAA to reach the sectionals and it took a fantastic Mt. Juliet performance to overtake Franklin in Franklin’s building.
Here and Now
Tuesday, January fifteenth Franklin extended their winning streak over Brentwood High to four games!
Brentwood, Centennial, and Franklin are again fighting for the top three District 11 AAA seeds. Despite the small separation from the top to the middle, bank on the Bruins, Cougars, and Rebels pulling away in the following weeks.
Brentwood’s senior leaders and Franklin’s star power make them favorites. It doesn’t help Centennial that their starting big man Ahsharri Haynesworth (PrepHoopsTN #190 in Class of 2019) transferred to Franklin High prior to the season. CHS juniors Tre Carlton (PrepHoopsTN #75 in 2020) and Dusty Williams (PrepHoopsTN #22 in 2020) now carry much of the scoring burden. Haynesworth isn’t the sole reason for Franklin’s success surely, but he absolutely helped Reese Glover (PrepHoopsTN #51 in 2019) and friends sustain their 2017-2018 success.
