 Clarksville, TN – Half of the District 10-AAA high school boys basketball teams have a legitimate shot at this season’s regular season title with only four district games remaining. Several teams got crucial wins last week to keep them in title contention.
Only two games separate six of the eight teams and four of the teams are tied for the top two spots in the district, separated by only one game. All the teams are sprinting toward the finish line. It will come down to a photo finish to determine the regular season champion.
 Kenwood Boy’s Basketball and Northwest sit atop the District 10-AAA standings. Hot List
Both the Kenwood Knights (14-7) and the Northeast Eagles (9-11) won two games last week including pivotal games that kept their regular season title hopes alive.
After defeating the Springfield Yellow Jackets, 67-58, last Tuesday, the Knights went on to stop the surging Clarksville High Wildcats last Friday, 57-51. The two wins put the Knights back at the top of the district in a tie with the Northwest Vikings. The Knights and the Vikings will play each other Friday, January 30th. The Knights won the last time they played earlier this season.
 Northwest Boy’s Basketball. The Eagles two wins last week were very nearly losses. First, they put down the Vikings in a very close game, 58-57, last Tuesday. Afterwards, they beat the Henry County Patriots by two points, 44-42, Friday. The two wins catapulted the Eagles to a tie with the Wildcats, just one game behind the Knights and Vikings.
The Eagles have already played two games against the Wildcats and Vikings, splitting wins with both teams. However, they have already defeated the Knights once and will play them again in a game that may determine the regular season champion Friday, February 6th.
