(We noticed) nobody was picking us, MBA s Jackson Francis said.
Francis, Will Montana and Joshua Roberts each scored 12 points to help knock off defending state champion Knoxville Catholic 60-49 at Tennessee Techâs Hooper Eblen Center.
Grayson Morgan scored nine points and Marcel Reed added eight for MBA, which will face Brentwood Academy at 7 p.m. Saturday for the Division II-AA title.
The Big Red wasnât a popular pick because Knoxville Catholic has a star-studded roster, with future college players like four-star guard B.J. Edwards and three-star forward Handje Tamba.
Tamba is a 7-foot junior with scholarship offers from Tennessee and Georgetown.

A former student of a private Vancouver Catholic school alleges that a teacher who sexually abused him in the 1980s was shuffled to the West Coast by the church after confessing he preyed on boys at an infamous Newfoundland orphanage.
In a proposed class action filed on Monday in B.C. Supreme Court, Darren Liptrot also alleges that his abuser was joined by five other abusers, who were transferred across the country from the Mount Cashel facility in Newfoundland and Labrador to his high school, Vancouver College, and St. Thomas More Collegiate between 1976 and 1983.

The story behind what s hidden beneath the Ben Franklin Statue in SF s Washington Square Park

A statue of Benjamin Franklin is seen in the center of Washington Square Park in San Francisco on Feb. 5, 2021. In the pedestal of the statue is a time capsule that was place inside in 1979 and will be opened in 2079.Douglas Zimmerman/SFGATE
It’s unclear what Dr. Henry Cogswell was trying to say about the life of San Franciscans in 1879 when he placed a string of buttons in his time capsule in Washington Square Park.
Perhaps it went just as he planned, playing a joke 100 years in the making, as Supervisor John Molinari immediately broke the string during the 1979 unveiling, scattering buttons everywhere during the ceremony.
If certified, class action will test whether Newfoundland Catholic organization, former head of religious order can be held liable for claims of sexual abuse that happened on the other side of the country
