Here's another ? I have if Abingdon came in as the #1 seed in conference tournament, then does the #2 seed automatically become the #1 seed since Abingdon goes to class 3 

I’m fairly certain yes as that’s the case for what happens during baseball season

@BigWinners so what i have to remember that the M7 and SWD system is a little different from another, both reward #1 seed the same an automatic berth to the region tournament. The SWD put more emphasis on the conference tournament as to the M7 hold more value to the regular season

Yup thats it. I knew the M7 system wasn’t exactly the same as rhe SWD but it was close enough that I wasn’t sure exactly how GC would be seeded. If GC wins tomorrow or Wise loses, gotta be a huge letdown for Wise. Preseason top M7 hell prob top 2D team having to travel round one would be a disappointment.

I've said it all year, Central made a mistake running Boggs off.  The M7 is not the Cumberland and Damron hasn't done a very good job.

Def seems that way for sure now. Losing Collins was a huge blow no way around that but they’re a talented bunch, they shouldn’t be finishing just ahead of Battle abd losing to GC in tourney.

Collins was the leader of that team for last 4 years even as a freshman.  Only thing left after he left is EGO’s.  Then they run off a coach that knows how to coach the ego’s and this is what you get.  Damron has just as big of ego as the players and 1A is way different than 2A.  You aren’t trying beat Castlewood, Burton, or Twin Springs to win a conference in M7.  No disrespect to those teams, just a big difference. I guess it was the price the SBO paid to get his kid to start.

Much in the same way that Wise overestimates their talent in football based on youth/middle school, they do the same in basketball.

The problem with Central's talent is that they know they're good and think that should automatically equate to calls, non-calls and ultimately wins.  Doesn't help that their fan base is horrible.  I know every school/team has bad apples, but I dare you to go sit amongst the Central faithful and listen to the holier than thou comments.

They have arguably two of the top 10 players in the region, but the others are either good bball players/not athletes or athletic/not as skilled bball players.  Additionally, those two top 10 players don’t seem to mesh well and compliment each other either.

Hit the nail straight on the head.

They don't mesh well because they only care about themselves.  You can tell by the way they play.

Collins was a dog man, he willed them to quite a few wins.

I’ve watched Central play a lot this year and I agree with this. However, if you will go back and watch Hayes is much more willing to pass the ball and give it up over the other one. I think Hayes has the mindset sometimes that he has to keep it to get his points in.

GBB HALFTIME

Ridgeview went on a 14-0 run 2Q. One player, Yates, I believe  hit 4 three pointers. I haven’t watched any girls M7 games until tonight. I don’t think any SWD team would be Ridgeview. 

Ridgeview - 30 
Abingdon - 16

The SWD 1 seed may not beat the Mountain District 4 seed much less Ridgeview. This happens ever year. 

It really is crazy how dominant the M7 has been not just in the region, but the state as well. What is the number of state titles since it was formed? Should add one because the VCU medical staff screwed Central out of one vs Floyd.

Yeah, SWD hasn’t really had dominant teams since Richlands back around time the Allen girl played.

Yeah, VH isn’t that good either but their coach is entertaining. They might win round 1 but I would be shocked if they got any further.
