Congratulations to Bearden High from Knoxville, TN, our newest 2018 Arby's Classic Champion. Bearden upset Carmel Christian 61-57 Monday night in Bristol. Bearden is the first ever team from Knox county to win the Arby's Classic and first team from Tennessee to win since 2009. Carmel Christian is ranked No. 19 nationally by MaxPreps and No. 18 by USA Today and prior to the Arby's Classic, had a perfect season.
It's been a great 5 days with intense competition from around the country. We are thankful for all of the teams that came to Bristol, Tennessee to spend time with us during this holiday season. The teams are all top-notch and we enjoyed watching these teams play.
The Arby's Classic is a tournament run by volunteers and Tennessee High staff. The time and effort our volunteers have given to the 2018 tournament is a major reason it is one of the best high-school basketball tournaments in the nation. To all of our volunteers—thank you! We couldn't do it without you!
