Do you have the times and dates for these games?
The Region D tournament is shaping up to be one of the best tournaments in recent years. There are potentially some great match-ups in this tournament.
Which games are you most interested in seeing?
On the boys side, I'm looking forward to seeing Coeburn vs Castlewood. This is a game we were denied during the Greenwave Classic. Both teams have everything to gain and nothing to lose, so it should be a full throttle exhibition from the tip off.
There's a big question around Twin Springs right now with Kecev, Dockery, and Warner playing with injuries. If Twin Springs is 100%, I'd love to see a Twin Springs - Gate City barn-burner just for the pure intensity and rivalry.
Ultimately, a final between Twin Valley and Gate City could be a Region D classic. I think players, coaches, and fans from both teams have been prepping for this game for a long time. Personally, I would walk to Clinchco to see this game.
On the girls side, Haysi is undefeated in the BDD. St. Paul has had an excellent season in the Cumberland. Rasnick seems to be as close as he's ever been to taking the Lady Deacons to tbe big game. Gate City also had an extraordinary season. I would love to see Haysi and St. Paul match up and either team would give Gate City a great game.

Don't expect a SP/Haysi final. SP is not that good IMO. I do not know what TV has, but GC will wax SP if they face each other. I expect probably a GC/JJK final, or GC/Haysi.

Re: Girls Teams
I haven't seen Twin Springs girls play, but I have seen Twin Valley. TV is the number two seed in the BDD, but Haysi totally dominated them in the game I saw.
As far as the Lady Deacons go, they are 21-3 for the season. I haven't seen them play yet, so I can't comment. But, my contacts in the Cumberland tell me they are a very good team. If you recall, the Lady Deacons made it to the quarterfinals last year. The comments I've had are that the team has matured and improved greatly from last year.

The St. Paul girls team is very good. I dont know if they have anything for GC or Kelly though.

In the 3 times I have saw them, I was completely unimpressed each time. The won against a very poor TS team in the first outting, and it was in question until the 4th.
They were clobbered by RC @ RC in the second viewing. RC then lost to them at SP with two of their starters out, and their PG running the high post for them. RC almost came back and won, cutting the lead to 2 early in the 4th. SP only won that game by 10.
Had Petelle not fouled out Saturday, RC would have probably won again, even though they apparently played like crap. They still only lost 36-34, and missed a 3 at the buzzer. I would love for RC to do well, but I will be surprised if they get by JJK. If they cannot do that, I in no way expect SP to get by GC, or it to be very close.

I think any team that posts a 21-3 season has to be good.
I would agree regarding Gate City, but I think they can play with JJ Kelly. I would to see Kelly advance to the finals, but this is the same team that dropped games to PV and Clintwood.

True in most cases. Takes a lot to win 21 games. But you also have to account for competition.
Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.
