Chase Jones-Mid-State Ballerz South

Dickson County hosts the 2008 version of this competitive tourney.

Wanna see some good hoops this weekend then jump in the ride and make the short trip a bit past Nashville to Dickson and locate Dickson County High School which will play host to the 2008 Mid-State Ballerz Challenge of Champions.

Another loaded tourney featuring teams from East, Middle and West Tennessee.

Pool A is a strong field featuring Skylar McBee (Grainger), Deonte Alexander (Glencliff), Sam Watson (Farragut) and Chase and Chance Jones (Austin East) representing the Mid-State Ballerz South.
