The BHS boys, No. 3 seed (at 11-3) host No. 6 Sevier County (3-11), also at 7 p.m. Friday.
If Farragut wins, they face the William Blount (No. 4) versus Lenoir City (No. 5) winner in the semifinals at 6:30 p.m., Monday, Feb. 19, at Maryville High School. A loss by any team in the first round ends its season.
