CLARKSVILLE LINEUP: Ranzae Daniels, PG; Rayzon Allen, SG; Detavion Lewis, G; Quinton Wallace, F; Clashon Gaffney, PF.

COACH'S COMMENTS: Clarksville's Willie Coulter-"The key will be how we show up physically and mentally. The players' skills are where they need to be. The team will have to be mentally ready to work, challenge, and fight for what they want. We have four seniors but after that we have a lot of freshmen and sophomores.

"Martin's Mill always has a good program. They shoot the ball well. Basketball and baseball are big traditions for them. Schools like that always have players that have good skills and knowledge."

NEXT ROUND: The winners advance to the regional quarterfinals next week to face the winner of Big Sandy and Campbell.
