swva_havok_fan 1,259 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 This is a massive 56 team tournament held in Gatlinburg every year with the 56 teams spread out over 7 different 8 team brackets (4 girls, 3 boys). Each bracket has it's own champion. Over the last several years, quite a few southwest Virginia schools have been invited down to participate. I believe Wise Central girls may have even won their bracket one year. SWVA Girls teams participating: George Wythe Honaker Patrick Henry Eastside Ridgeview Richlands Union SWVA Boys teams participating: Honaker Eastside Union The brackets can be found and downloaded here: https://www.bballinthesmokies.com/brackets Gridiron60 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gridiron60 2,550 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 George Wythe girls are pretty good. I could see them finishing pretty high. I'm not sure in comparison to other teams though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see how our SWVA teams shake out in the tournament. I believe GW is undefeated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrall’s Pearls 61 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 I don’t think they went that far. Think they lost in like the round of 8. They won their region last year. If Union ever starts rebounding the ball, we’ll be alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrall’s Pearls 61 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 Union finished 2-1 in the event to move to 3-2 on the year. Outside of GC, I’d say we’ve played the most difficult schedule in the area to this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swva_havok_fan 1,259 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 Ridgeview girls won their bracket championship. The only SWVA school who made the trip to do so defeating Leslie County, Kentucky by 12, Notre Dame, Tennessee by 1 in OT in the semifinal and Paintsville, Kentucky by 32 in the championship game.
