Independence was the fourth school to advance to today’s semifinals at Clarksville High School and the team from Thompson’s Station moved on with close wins over Houston (38-33) and Tullahoma (40-23).
The Eagles will face the No. 1 ranked Bears of Bradley Central at 1 p.m. Bradley advanced with wins over Northwest (53-23) and Antioch (57-20).
Bradley Central’s county rival, the Cleveland Blue Raiders, dominated William Blount (64-12) in the Round of 16 then held off tournament host Clarksville (39-21) in the quarterfinals.
Cleveland will face the Ooltewah Owls in its semifinal meet also at 1 p.m.
Ooltewah got by a tough Overton team (34-31) in the Round of 16 then cruised to the semis with a 56-9 win over Arlington.
