Collierville's only weakness was exposed at the worst time.

The Dragons displayed their speed and athleticism all season long, but how the Dragons responded to bigger and taller teams still remained the only challenge at their quest of returning to the TSSAA State Tournament,

The answer was provided sternly against Bartlett in the Region 8-AAAA regional semifinals. Bartlett got hot early and never trailed - dominating the rebounding effort throughout the game. As they've done all year, the Dragons made their runs.

Collierville's season would eventually come to an end with a 67-42 defeat to the all-star type team at Bartlett - favored to win the state championship. It was the largest margin of defeat for the Dragons during the 2021-22 season.

Collierville (20-9) finishes the year with their third straight season winning 20 or more games and a third straight Sweet Sixteen appearance.
