Where are they playing the Region playoffs at?
Clincho
If I'm not mistaken, this is Coeburn's first regional tournament appearance since 1995.

They played, if memory serves, Thomas Walker in that game. It was the late game that night. Tourney was in Norton that year.
TS played Haysi in the opening game, won 62-59. TW and Coeburn in the nightcap. TS won and I think Coeburn won as well. TS played Norton in the semis, won 96-68. Council played Coeburn in the other semi and won going away. Set up the standing-room only final on Saturday. I watched that game from the cafeteria.
That was an awesome final. Council I believe was the better team but Ervin just hit a remarkable shot there in the corner to win it at the buzzer. That may be the best high school game played in the last 10 years around here.
The Burton/TS game was unreal too. Ervin had 37 at the half including the 3/4 court shot at the end of the first half. I think he ended up with 49 but TS coasted to victory in the 2nd half.
Burton got 'em back the next year ending Ervin's career at Hurley.
That game vs. Council was quite good, but the one played in 96 at Thomas Walker was a bit better. Triple overtime.
Norton didn't beat TS until 97 at Hurley.

I was at all of those games and they were great, but last night's Hogoheege District Championship game was the best I've seen in a long time. Patrick Henry & George Wythe were tied with 3 seconds left. Point Guard from GW gets the ball, takes 3 dribbles, pulls up and banks in a half-courter to win the game. It was unbelievable. Up until that shot the game had gone back and fourth throughout the second half. It was a classic.

I never quite understood why some teams get a bye in the tournament and others do not.
If I understand this situation, Twin Valley and Gate City have a bye, only playing two games to win the championship, whereas Twin Springs must actually play three games in order to win the Region D Championship.

lol because there are only 6 teams man. 2 teams HAVE to have a bye. With 4 districts coming, that wont be the case, there wont be any byes.
Well obviously I understand that it's done that way, but I don't understand WHY or how the determination is made of which teams get the bye.
One team is obviously at a disadvantage.
It seems as though there would have to be a better system.

I think it rotates each year what seed/district gets the bye.
They just alternate every year to keep it fair, just as they alternate the site between the 3 districts every year. Really, there is no other fair way to do it. Last year the Cumberland got one of the byes, this year they didnt, that seems pretty fair to me.
I understand what you're saying.
When the region is re-structed, will the #2 seed teams still advance to the Regional championships?

Yes, it will be an eight team tournament.
With 16 total teams competing, I'm guessing that we are looking at multiple satellite sites.

Just have it at VA High every year. Plenty of seats for everyone and the best venue in the area.
An excellent idea IMO!
Anyone have a time and day on the finals?
Finals next Saturday, don't know the time.
I hope to see a TS vs. GC matchup again this year! I will try my best to make that game if it turns out!
im pretty sure that TS isn't near as good as GC, i mean look at what TS lost last year, and plus they lose to Rye Cove and Rye Cove gets stomped by appalachia which GC killed. This game = not even close.
I wouldnt say that. TS is playing some good ball right now. Plus they have avenged their loss to RC twice in a row. GC also lost alot from last year.
TS beat Castlewood again tonight too...
44-41 I believe..
Dockery was bustin 3's from Australia...had 7 3's for the game i believe..
It was an awesome game and Dockery was on early in the game hit everything from everywhere
I didn't think Twin Springs would be as good this year either. They didn't have the best season, but they seem to be rallying and coming on strong into the playoffs.
Somehow, someway, Twin Springs seems to always find their way to the Region D playoffs.
I'm not sure Twin Springs has enough momentum to win the Region D this year, but I think they probably have as good a chance of upsetting Twin Valley as any team in the tournament.
Twin Springs - Gate City would be a great game if for no other reason than there is such history and rivalry between the two.

Twin Springs doesn't have a strong bench..
I think GC's defense would wear the starting five down and GC would take the W.
btw..Kecev got injured last night and Warner looked a little shaken up.. Hopefully both of them will be 100% by tourny time
I've heard several people comment that Twin Springs doesn't have a lot of depth in the roster. I've also heard the same thing said of Twin Valley.
The one thing I've heard consistently of both teams is that their starting five are unbelievable.
Ath this level of the game, every team has to be playing their best game to advance. If there is a weakness in a team, it will come out in a big way. It really is a "one strike and you're out" situation.
The one advantage that Twin Springs may have over other teams is that some of their players, like Dockery and Warner, have been to the big game before.

Twin Springs, Castlewood, and Twin Valley may not be deeper than 6-7 players but you can be sure that they are in excellent shape. If I'm not mistaken in a recent OT game with Castlewood the starting 5 for TS went the entire game. Castlewood subbed 1 or 2 players for a short period of time. If you get under the illusion that any of these teams will wilt becase they aren't very deep you will quickly build yourself a false sense of security which will be a mistake. Whoever plays these teams better be ready to get it for 32 minutes. They've all been in tough games and know how to dig down deep for that 2nd wind.
If Kecev is unable to compete, it could hurt Twin Springs. I have to wonder why TS would risk injuring their starting five in a game they really didn't have to win. At any rate, I expect Twin Springs to come in fired up.

It's Castlewood, a must win game no matter what.
If in fact Kecev is out of the tourament, and Twin Springs is eliminated, will it have been worth it?
TS's spot in the Region D tournament was already secured. The game against Castlewood was purely for pride.

Kecev played the entire second half last night, so I would say he'll be ready come Wednesday.
And yes, it is worth it to beat Castlewood.
what time does GC play friday
I would expect Kecev to play. The question is will he be 100%. In fact, will any of the TS starters be 100%. The article in the Kingsport Times, stated that Twin Springs' top three players were playing with injuries.
A "pride" victory is a great win, but winning the Region D would be greater.
Twin Springs will be facing a Haysi team that has had a really rough season but also came very close to upsetting Twin Valley in January. Haysi lives and dies by the 3 pt. Take it away, and they fall hard. But, if Jones, Viers, and Compton are hot on the 3, they can beat any team in Region D.
Pride aside, I wouldn't want to go into the Region D tournament with anything less than 100% physical capability.
