With the BlueCross Basketball State Championships set to begin tomorrow at Middle Tennessee State’s Murphy Center, here is an overview of the Class 4A girls’ state tournament bracket that includes Bradley Central (31-1) and Cleveland (23-9).

.905

This is the winning percentage of Bearettes’ head coach Jason Reuter, who is 418-44 overall in his 14th year with the historic program. Bradley Central is ranked 23rd in the country by MaxPreps.com and its only loss this season came to Wesleyan, which is the No. 2-ranked team in Georgia. The Bearettes have outscored their postseason competition on average 79.3-25.7 and will be hard to stop from winning back-to-back titles, which would bring their gold ball total to eight.
