Union 37, Lebanon 31 late 3rd per twitter.  Again, I can't verify this score for sure.  Graham up 51-39 on C-Wise to begin the 4th qtr.

[The U Bear]

Graham up 60-45 over Wise with about 3 and a half minutes left in the game.  I understand the Union score went final.  Union 48, Lebanon 47-Final

[The U Bear]

game over. 48-47 union. bostic with the game winner with 2.3 sec to go

[GilesBandanaMan]

Final from Bluefield.  Graham 71, Central-Wise 56. The Ray kid from Graham took the game over.  He was the difference maker in the game with his ability to win off the dribble in one on one situations against man to man defense at the 5 second line and drive the lane either scoring or setting up shots for teammates.  Heck of a performance by Ray.

VHS won big. Graham won easily. Union barely escaped with W, havent saw GC score yet.

Girls, Eastside girls. 
 

GC was up five at half, can’t find a final. Okay up seven at fourth for GC thanks for update.

Caroll County girls won too

[GilesBandanaMan]

55-49 GC over Marion with just over 6 minutes left in the game.  Marion just cut it to 3 before a GC three pointer.  Marion is scrappy as hell.  No other way I can describe them.  Not big, but just quick and scrappy as all get out.

Not a great night for the M7. RV and Wise got easily defeated, Union barely escaped at home and GC is in a tight battle with Marion. Could end up an all SWD final, I can’t see Union beating VHS while Graham can go into GC and win.

[GilesBandanaMan]

Gate City up 4 with about 3 minutes left.  Marion, this is my first time seeing them.  I swear, it's like they have 5 guards on the floor or something.  Unbelievable toughness

[GilesBandanaMan]

Garrett starting to take over.  Has scored like 8 out of the last 10 for GC.  He just got a bucket and one (foul shot good) GC up 7 with about 2 minutes left.  64-57 GC leads.

[GilesBandanaMan]

64-60 GC leads with about 50 seconds left.  GC ball

[GilesBandanaMan]

GC looking to finish.  68-60 GC leads with 46 seconds left.  Marion ball.

[GilesBandanaMan]

Final.  GC 70  Marion 65

I have no idea who wins with Graham and GC.  It's at GC so got to favor the home team, but the Graham team tonight.....keyword.....tonight looked 8 to 9 points better than the GC team I saw in the second half.  Graham is way more athletic than GC, but GC will have the advantage with Garrett inside.  For Graham, the key in my opinion is getting the point guard Ray to penetrate off the dribble and for GC, I know they like to put Garrett outside of the paint on many of their offensive possessions, but this is a game where I think GC should strongly consider putting him underneath the basket more on offense to use the height advantage against Graham.

SWD & M7 teams needs to start playing some regular season games in the future.

[BigWinners]

GC has had the least amount of success this year against the smaller, quicker, guard oriented teams and Graham def fits that bill. 
 

Union is guard heavy and beat them once and had them on ropes at GC, Marion kept it close with good guards so Graham is a tough matchup. GC does better with bigger, physical teams like Wise so Graham has to have some confidence going in, even on road.

Union played a couple this year in the Wise tourney but it does seem like the districts avoid each other before the tourney. May be a strategic decision.

Floyd County goes down to Chatham 74-66 after leading by 11 to start the 4th quarter.  Chatham shot the lights out in the 4th.

[BigWinners]

Abingdon boys up seven on Carroll County going into fourth.

Man the entire West is just so mediocre this year. Not one very good team out of the entire half of the state.
