Salem High School

In its first Arby's, under Charlie Morgan, a longtime assistant to Science Hill's George Pitts who played the same pressing, freely substituting game and had won a Group AA title at Salem earlier in the decade. No one taller than 6-3 and no marquee player, but balance: 6-3 senior wing Adam Rutledge (13 ppg), an all-district pick, 6-3 junior forward Dennis Haley (10), 5-10 senior guard Reggie Brown (11) and left-handed senior guard Trey Shifflett (9). Tennessee High had beaten them 46-36 earlier in the season. 4-1 coming in.
