However, there should be at least one close game on Friday as Class 6A's top teams, No. 1 Union and No. 2 Booker T. Washington will face each other at 8:30 p.m.

The matchup also is exciting for the defending TofC champion Hornets.
"Yes, it is when you get to play the No. 1 team, no matter what time of the season it is," Hornets coach Shea Seals said.
The Hornets will be in their fourth straight TofC final.
Seals received about as good of a medical report as could be hoped for on second-leading scorer and rebounder Phabian Glasco, who suffered a fractured right forearm in a scary fall during Wednesday's opening round.

Butler reached the finals by making 66-of-70 free throws in qualifying earlier Thursday while Converse sank 69-of-70.
