Dick_Vitale 342 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Wise probably has the best tourny this year locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan4VT 4,546 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Gotta be the one in Wise this year. Some quality teams in that one. Mt. Mission, George Wythe, Richlands, Bell Co., KY, Ridgeview, Honaker, Eastside, Lebanon, Union, Central, Castlewood, and Burton.

Mission, George Wythe, Richlands, Bell Co., KY, Ridgeview, Honaker, Eastside, Lebanon, Union, Central, Castlewood, and Burton. Seems like this is where Richlands will see their competition since their schedule is filled with cupcakes after this tourny. Not really their fault with the conference scheduling but I would have scheduled someone competitive out of conference late in the season to see how I was stacking up. Still scratching my head at the idea of keeping Twin Valley (who is not very good) and dropping Bluefield and Union. BlueRazor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH31 2,514 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 I was hoping they would at least keep Bluefield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick_Vitale 342 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 I was hoping they would at least keep Bluefield Not sure why they did not keep either. Union lost a ton... still good though and bluefield would have been a killer atmosphere since the Fuller's (father/son) are there coaching and playing.

Ryan4VT 4,546 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 We didn't drop Bluefield or Union. Union dropped us for some reason, and Bluefield didn't want to olaybus this year because of the potential for bad blood with Fuller. That came from a member of the coaching staff. They aren't happy with the schedule, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick_Vitale 342 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 $10 admission fee!?!?!?!?! You have got to be kidding me lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swva_havok_fan 1,259 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 $10 admission fee!?!?!?!?! You have got to be kidding me lol! 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.

Several different brackets and several different weeks at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leatherhead Larry 530 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 I honestly don't mind the $10 admissions fee. But I am one of those guys who gets his money's worth and watches a handful of games in tournaments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GC_Quincy 582 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Agreed. You'll get to see 4 games for $10. I'd pay that all day long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityofRaven 2,424 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 http://www.uvawise.edu/event/grand-home-furnishings-holiday-classic-presented-wolf-92-1-fm-wdic-radio/ No losers bracket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swva_havok_fan 1,259 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 No losers bracket? 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.

Dick_Vitale 342 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 I would hope there is one. Otherwise, Richlands may very well be done the first night. From the info I have gathered there is one, just not bracketed out. Not really sure why though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leatherhead Larry 530 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Y'all don't read very well. The bracket clearly says that consolation games will be played on Thursday and Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
