swva_havok_fan 1,261 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 With not only Gate City in the field, but also Union as well, hope to see SWVA represented well in Viking Hall this week. Anyone coming down? I'll be at all 30 games as has been my annual tradition every year since 2000 (except for 2001, when I missed two days to go watch Haysi in the High County Classic in Boone, North Carolina). If you're coming, come say hello, I'll be down in the bleachers nearest the stage on the scorer's table side of the gym. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unionguy_2017 288 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 I plan on being there for all the games. I went for the first time last year and really enjoyed it. Who are the teams to watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swva_havok_fan 1,261 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Are you here @Unionguy_2017? I think Buford and Trinity are the teams getting the most attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’m here. I also thought those two teams looked the best on paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Cannonball 40 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Sounds like Buford is struggling with Tennessee High. Any feedback from you guys in attendance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F@lcon 47 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 I didn’t stay for the Trinity game but I watched Buford/TN High and Carmel/Science Hill. As usual, the local teams had plenty of help from the officials. Watson from Buford didn’t seem to be comfortable this game. It seemed at times like he may have been hurting and struggled with his passing. Carmel was very athletic, dominated the boards in first half and played most of the game above the rim. SH came out in second half and boxed out better but turnovers kept them from making much of a run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccer_Dad 29 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 No local teams left in the Winners' Bracket after the 1st Round as usual. Looks like attendance for the tournament just took another big hit this year. Other than the DB/Science Hill game (should draw a decent crowd), it'll probably be less than half full the rest of the way. Especially since most of the Tri-Cities will be at work while our local teams are playing. Oh well. Maybe next year...... Also, Knox Bearden & Carmel Christian look really good.

RiverRat24 274 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 GC had their chance but pissed that one away. Had a 12 pt lead and completely slowed the game down. That bit them in the rear. Allowed Wenonah to gather themselves and make stops and create turnovers when they were clearly on the ropes. Also surprised Coach didnt call a TO to get the defense setup after Bradley scored the go ahead layup with 9 secs left. Nevertheless, good experience for GC. Learn from it and move on to Greeneville. That Wenonah team was pretty good but didnt utilize their 6'9 post player at all. Even if they do use him I dont think they will hold a candle to the likes of Bearden or Carmel if they make it far enough to play one of those teams. I would have to say those 2 teams pass the eye test as the favorites in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been salivating for this. Arguably the two best teams in this area. I think it's going to be a hell of a game. Hope DB wins... But they probably won't.

Wish GC had got to play them last year. swva_havok_fan and Leatherhead Larry 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiverRat24 274 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 What kind of score predictions do you guys have for this game? I think it will be a 7-10 pt ballgame. However, I thought East would give GC all they could handle and it would be real close game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leatherhead Larry 530 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 If we can man up vs the Browder kid we will win. Make DB shoot the ball. It’ll be a heated game. DB’s coach wants to play us so bad. It’ll be fun, hate I gotta miss it. Especially after DB decided to talk trash while they were walking off the court as GC came on for warmups. swva_havok_fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But GC did a very good job having a hand in the face and contest most shots. Forced East to shoot off the dribble instead of catch and shoot off the pass.

swva_havok_fan 1,261 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Union is now playing Orem in the consolation tomorrow instead of Tabernacle. Not sure why it changed but Union is definitely not beating Orem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who? 85 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Update on gc db please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverRat24 274 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 GC 12-10 with 1:45 left in the 1st. GC 16-10 end of 1st GC goes cold. Double and triple teaming Zac and Brad. Jacob Hicks for GC is playing better than anyone else. Other players passing up uncontested shots and when they do take wide open layups they cant make them. DB leads at the half. 32-23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
