At Grainger High School, Cosby High School again picked up another pair of District 2-A championships. The fifth-ranked Lady Eagles cruised to a 59-29 win over Hancock County in the title game. The win was Cosby's 24th of the campaign, as they eye another trip to the TSSAA State Tournament.

The Eagles also came through with another crown, taking a 58-48 win over Hancock County in the rubber match between the two schools.

At the Cocke County Elementary Basketball Tournament, Parrottsville came away with both championships in the finals.

The Parrotts also claimed the tournament championship with a come-from-behind 29-28 victory over Centerview in the title game.

The Cocke County High School boys team also bounced back from Friday night's crushing loss in the District 2-AAA semifinals with a 41-37 win over South Doyle High School.
