Castlewood Claims Top Seeds In Region D, Division 2

There were plenty of questions surrounding the Castlewood High School boys basketball team when the season tipped off in November.

 

The Blue Devils had a new head coach in Wayne Rasnick and had to replace a pair of 1,000-point scorers who graduated from a state tournament team.

 

“I think everybody picked us fourth in the district,†Rasnick said. “But we set some goals coming into the year and we achieved those.â€

 

The Blue Devils did so well, in fact, that they earned the top seed for the Region D, Division 2 tournament when the pairings were released Sunday.

 

Castlewood compiled a 20-3 record and swept the Cumberland District regular-season and tournament titles behind a balanced attack. The Blue Devils will host Cumberland District-rival Coeburn (16-8) Wednesday in a first-round game.

 

Other Division 2 first-round games Wednesday include No. 7 Lebanon (18-5) at No. 2 Gate City (17-7) in a matchup of Clinch Mountain District rivals, No. 6 J.J. Kelly (16-9) at No. 3 Virginia High (17-7) and No. 5 Powell Valley (14-10) at No. 4 Honaker (12-13).

 

In the Division 1 tournament, Black Diamond District regular-season and tournament champion Twin Valley (20-4) was awarded the top seed. The Panthers host St. Paul (9-13) Wednesday in a first-round game.

 

The other Division 1 quarterfinals will see Lonesome Pine District champion Appalachia (21-3) hosting seventh-seeded Hurley (10-14), No. 6 J.I. Burton (8-13) at No. 3 Twin Springs (15-10) and No. 5

Thomas Walker (11-12) at fourth-seeded Council (14-10).

 

The Division 1 semifinals will be Friday at Castlewood, while the Division 2 semifinals are at Lebanon.

 

GIRLS

Castlewood (17-7) also secured the top spot in the Region D, Division 2 girls tournament. The Blue Devils will host Russell County-rival Lebanon on Tuesday in a first-round game. Coach Barry Ruff’s team has already won twice against the Pioneers in convincing fashion.

 

Meanwhile, John Battle will be at Lee High (18-5) Tuesday in a matchup of Clinch Mountain District rivals. Battle is making its first regional tournament appearance since 1998.

 

Other first-round games will pit sixth-seeded J.J. Kelly (18-7) at No. 3 Virginia High (16-7) and No. 5 Powell Valley at No. 4 Honaker (18-6).

 

The Region D, Division 1 quarterfinal matchups on Tuesday will be Haysi (11-10) at top-seeded J.I. Burton (20-3), Pound (13-11) at Council (21-3), Ervinton (15-8) at Rye Cove (14-11) and Twin Springs (9-16) at Twin Valley (15-9).

 

The Division 1 semifinals are Thursday at Castlewood, with the Division 2 semifinals at Lebanon. All the Region D boys and girls title games will be contested Saturday at Virginia High’s Bearcat Den.
