The Tennessee Tiger's are a very sound AAU team. The coaching staff does a great job of getting the team focused and motivated to play. After a recent victory Full Court Preps writer David Money was able to catch up with guard Calvin Settles and forward Mike Bradley of the Tigers. The Tigers play together as one unit and both players stressed giving all out team efforts. It only seems fitting to post the two together.

F.C.P.- You guys walk away with a hard fought two point win. Could you walk us down the stretch?
