The defending State Champs found no stumbling blocks in Ooltewah. They moved on to play a familiar foe :Farragut.
And then while Father Ryan struggled with Briarcrest (Ryan would move on to the bottom bracket to play St. Agnes) .. MTSU had a power outage causing delays and games to be moved to new courts. Later , much later on that afternoon round one play would resume leading us into the second Quarterfinal round.
