The Smyrna Bulldogs will challenge the Father Ryan Irish at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Having struggled with ten losses in a row dating back to last season, Smyrna finally turned things around against Chattanooga School for the Arts & Sciences on Thursday. They secured an 86-82 W over the Patriots.
Smyrna got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Tyreque Mccarver out in front who went 7 for 8 en route to 19 points plus five assists and three steals. What's more, Mccarver also posted a 88% field goal percentage, which is the highest he's posted since back in November of 2023. Kaden Matthews was another key player, posting 19 points in addition to seven rebounds and two blocks.
Meanwhile, Father Ryan had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They strolled past Dickson County with points to spare on Thursday, taking the game 68-51. The win was some much needed relief for the Irish as it spelled an end to their three-game losing streak dating back to last season.
