Smoky Mountain Classic -- Gatlinburg

[swva_havok_fan 1,261]

I have been searching for quite awhile for the bracket for the Gatlinburg tournament that the Ridgeview girls are playing in next week, and I finally found them this morning.

 

Anyone ever been to this tournament before?  Why are there four separate girls brackets?  I do like that Ridgeview, Gate City and Wise Central were all placed in separate brackets.  I do NOT like that Ridgeview will probably be annihilated in their first game by Elizabethton however.  Lol.

Where do they play at?

[swva_havok_fan 1,261]

The tournament is in Gatlinburg.  Apparently Gatlinburg Pittman High School has two gyms and the other gym is at Rocky Top Sports World.  The entire tournament is spread out over the three gyms.

I knew about Pittman but I didn't know there were 2 other Gyms in the area. I was wondering how they'd fit all the teams in.

There was a youth wrestling tournament scheduled this weekend in Gatlinburg at the Sports World complex that had to be moved due to smoke damage.  It is now going to be in Knoxville.

Yeah, I knew Sports World was perilously close to the fires, but I also thought I read that they temporarily used it as shelter for those displaced by the fires also, so must not have been too damaged.

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?

I didn't realize how huge of a tourney this is.

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?

There's must have been a team drop out late, they had moved South Floyd to another bracket and then already advanced South Laurel into the next round and the fill in for the losers bracket was Knox Catholic, who I guess was the late fill in, and I assume GP gave South Laurel a game for that day.

[Beamerball 566]

Central-Wise defeated Pigeon Forge, 64-57, to move on to their bracket championship.
