The first Tuesday of December feels important in so much as Thanksgiving Tournaments wrapped and team identities are formed or forming quickly. While many of these Twenty Beguiling Games pit two strong teams against each other, there are a handful of intriguing games featuring a team facing a test.
Esteemed writer Courtney Asher Smith will report live from Bartlett at Memphis East this evening.
Nolensville-Independence meet as transfer from California Matthew Sebsebie (pictured above left) meets Independence for the first time.

Maryville 3-2
(PrepHoopsTN #5) Cleveland 5-0
Cleveland already pocketed wins over two defending State Champions (Bearden, Knox Webb). Maryville was our D4AAA preseason favorite. This should be yet another test for unbeaten CHS Head Coach Reggie Tucker.

Tyner Academy 2-0
Red Bank 1-1
7:30 PM
(PrepHoopsTN #10) Coffee County 5-1
Warren County 4-1
Coffee County almost certainly will fall out of Top 10 with or without a win tonight. Still, they did beat White County a week ago.

7:30 PM
Franklin 2-1
(PrepHoopsTN #7) Hillsboro 3-0
Franklin is much better than their 2-1 record, haha. They should have buried East Nashville opening night. Hillsboro is just as good as their unblemished record.
7:30 PM
White House 1-5
East Robertson 2-3
White House got that monkey off their backs Monday night by dispatching of Fairvew for their first win of the season. Can they take down East Robertson also?
8:00 PM
Tullahoma 2-2
Lebanon 5-0
7:30 PM
(PrepHoopsTN #4) Mt. Juliet 3-0
East Nashville 3-0
Brentwood Academy 2-0
Brentwood 3-1
Nolensville 1-2
Independence 2-1 (pictured)
Nolensville has talent. They have a new coach. They are still adapting and on paper Independence appears to be a winnable game.
