District 2 AAA Regular Season Race

Morristown West.
The race is all Morristown West right now and if not for a dismantling by Morristown East mid-January it would be essentially wrapped up completely.
Remember
In February 2018, #1 seed Morristown East and #2 seed Jefferson County both advanced to the Class AAA Region 1 semifinals. Neither advanced as Dobyns Bennett defeated Jefferson County 49-47 and Science Hill slipped by the Hurricanes, 57-56. February 27th was a painful day for the District 2AAA teams to end their seasons.
Here and Now
The Trojans of Morristown West brushed aside 18 foes already. They appear poised to win the district regular season outright with a dominating frontcourt and stable backcourt. Though South Doyle maintains 5 district wins they have not defeated either Morristown team or even Sevier County yet. It will be a difficult stretch in the near future.
Nobody in the district is hotter than Connor Jordan. The senior is coming off a spectacular 41-point night in Morristown West’s gym. That singular win absolutely provided the Hurricanes confidence to chase MoWest in the final few weeks, but can they catch them?
