1. Hard to win more than 1 when you've only been in existence 1 year. Lol. 2. They were the ones who instigated the rivalry. 3. I think it's pretty unanimous upon the other district teams that Central is the most hated school in the district. They choose to be pure grade a-holes so they can be treated as such.

I know. I'm shocked. Doesn't count as a CMC win, but to beat a fellow conference opponent is promising.

Wise Central chose Ridgeview to pick on right away and it escalated significantly when we ended their girls basketball season last year.

I'll pull for any team in the Mountain except Wise Central. Lol.

Quincy, it was nice to meet you today. I'm starting to make more friends from Gate City than what I have at Ridgeview games. Lol. Anyways, these last two days has solidified my fears about a week from today when the Wolfpack come rolling into town. Maybe the starters will take the night off that night since you all will have the Chance Harman game the next day and give us a chance. ;) See you on Saturday.

Fixed this for you...

I think you're thinking about the Central Michigan - Tulsa game. I set my DVR to record for 4.5 hours, and just BARELY got all of that game on my recording.

I agree about the admission... Little bit too steep. The only other drawback of this tournament is that it DOES compete with Arby's. Maybe next year, have it the week before Christmas. There isn't much going on that week as far as holiday tournaments, or other regular season ballgames for that matter. The arena is the best in SWVA, no question. Sadly though, when I saw pictures of this tournament last year on Facebook, there were a LOT of empty seats, which I commented on and then promptly got put on blast by Kevin Mays. Lol.

Ridgeview girls lost to Gatlinburg Pittman 76-47 and play TSSAA 3A semifinalist Westview tomorrow for 3rd place in the Blue Bracket.

The thing I'd like to know is how did Gatlinburg Pittman's girls get to play two first round games in the same day?

Ah. I forgot to check once the season started for results. Lol, my bad.

Seriously? Who have you all played? Betsy Layne is a VERY small school in Kentucky north of Pikeville a little ways. I assume they must have a good girls program or else they wouldn't have gotten the invite.

Ridgeview and Gate City both won today in the Gatlinburg girls tournament. Wise Central plays at 7 tonight. I know Elizabethton probably isn't what they were last year, but the fact we beat them by 14 still impresses the heck out of me!

A lot of people get that messed up for whatever reason. MaxPreps, Scorestream, everywhere.

For clarification, this is the Southern Empire Conference, not SWVA, I'm assuming?

Lol. Interested in seeing how the three CMC teams do in Gatlinburg this week. We certainly got the toughest first round draw I believe with Elizabethton.

Lol. I'm trying to be Mr. Optimistic here. Truth be told, I'm not going to be surprised if our last win of the season was Monday night. They did look a little better Monday night, but man, they miss WAAAAAAAAYYYYY too many shots in close. Shots that are must converts.

I bet Graham recruited them away..... I kid, I kid....

Richlands doesn't have a "play in" game, so they won't be done till at least the second night. :) I seen that Bell County was 4-6, so maybe Ridgeview stands a chance with them potentially. They beat Thomas Walker by 24. Not sure what Thomas Walker has this year though.

That's who it was... my bad. I remember their quarterfinal game the team they played got T'd up several times. They did play Dorsey in that tournament also didn't they?

I would make a smart ass comment about Hurley girls, but there was this hot Hurley girl who always beat me in forensics back in my high school days.

That's what I was wondering. I figure there will be for at least the 8 teams that play in the quarters, but like for Ridgeview who will probably lose to Bell County in one of the "play in" games, so to speak, will they get more than one game.

Council is the only SWVa team to win in the first round that I know of, but it was Tennessee High that they beat. They nearly pulled a shocking upset over LA Dorsey in the quarters, but lost a close one in the end.

Yeah... next thing you know, Ridgeview will be beating Gate City in the Blue Devil den.................................. Nah, not happening.

Fail... I had thought about going to the first day of the tournament, but not going to pay $10 to see Ridgeview annihilated by Bell County. Oh... just noticed the first day is on the 27th which would've conflicted with the Arby's anyway... so wouldn't have gone either way. Lol There is also the Smoky Mountain Classic in Gatlinburg this week, which Ridgeview, Wise Central and Gate City girls will be competing in. 32 girls teams and 24 boys teams I believe. That's got to be some kind of record for teams in one tournament, albeit the girls have four separate brackets and the boys three separate brackets. Ridgeview's bracket consists of: Westview, Greeneville, Forest, Gatlinburg-Pittman and Elizabethton from Tennessee, Jackson County and Pike County Central from Kentucky. Wise Central's bracket consists of: Floyd County from Virginia, Owen County and Hardin Central from Kentucky, Pigeon Forge, Smith County and East Hickman from Tennessee, and Wren from South Carolina. Gate City's bracket consists of: Betsy Layne, South Laurel, South Floyd, Perry County Central, and Wayne County from Kentucky, and Sevier County and Station Camp from Tennessee.
