Region D Boys games tonight

Who wins and why?

My picks:

#2 Gate City-70
#7 Haysi -47
Gate city's swarming in your face defense will crack Haysi like an egg

#3 Honaker -62
#6 Virginia High-56
I may very well miss this one,but going with the higher seed

#4 Powell Valley - 65
#5 Lee High - 55
Control Maggard and you win. The Vikes will get it done defensively

#1 J.J.Kelly -72
#8 Lebanon - 56
Lebanon is the bunch that bounced JJK last year. The Indians will have a raucous crowd rocking at the crackerbox tonight,and they will stifle the Pioneers

Division 1

#1 Hurley 75
#8 Twin Valley 60 Rebs run TV out of the place

#4 Castlewood 65
#5 John I. Burton 67 most intriguing matchup of the night as Williams faces his old team

#3 Saint Paul 58
#6 Council 47 Deacs get the W in one that will be close throughout

#2 Twin Springs 69
#7 Thomas Walker 53 Big red army will have much to cheer about in this one

As does Doug Campbell.

on a side note does stan wilson still help doug campbell? this game could be very very interesting!!

I don't think Stan helps at Castlewood. Cwood is not a very good team this year so if Burton has any talent they should win this one easily.

I was pretty sure Coach Wilson has been helping most of the year? Could be wrong, but that's what I heard, that he's been right there on the sidelines with Doug.

Yes he has helped some. I am not sure if he has been there every game, but I think if not, he has been for most.

PV 13 Lee 11 -end of 1st qt.

Lee High 26 Powell Valley 19 -halftime

Va High 38 Honaker 28 -halftime

VHS/Honaker stream...

Per WXLZ...
Burton 26 Castlewood 16 -halftime
JJK 32 Lebanon 24 -halftime

Lee 33 PV 28 -end of 3rd qt

Honaker leading VHS, 60-55 with about 3 to go in game.
Lee leading PV, 43-36, 2:15 to play

I think
Lee-49
PV-43
is the final

PV couldnt hit anything tonight, they were off something fierce.

But I honestly feel sorry for the PV kids. No team should have that bad of a luck. Ive been to 7-8 games this year, and Ive never seen a team not get the benefit of the calls like PV has. It may sound bitter, but its the truth. Its inexplicable. The kids (and the LPD kids as a whole) deserve refs that will call a walk when a player travels. PV has gotten the short end of the stick in almost every game Ive been to this year. Tonight, what to say. LHS played well, not great, Maggard was held in check most of the game but they made big shots when it counted and got to the line.

PV shot 2, two free throws in the contest at 4 minutes to go. Two free throws.
They may have shot a few more after I left , I dunno, but thats just about impossible when PV worked the ball inside almost all night long.

Oh well, good luck to LHS.

Lee High 49 Powell Valley 43 -final
Per WXLZ, Burton beats Castlewood, didn't catch the score

Both teams each shot just 2 free throws in the 1st half. PV ended with 9 I think.

XLZ said Kelly won

Per CMD board, GC 72 Haysi 50

PV had only shot four at the most at the 4 minute mark of the 4th quarter, they must have shot a few after I left. But like I said, PV played inside out almost the entire game whereas Lee tried almost no post offense at all.

Its been terrible the whole season, and it didnt get better tonight. Im really trying not to sound bitter because its been like that for almost every team this year, but PV has gotten almost no breaks when it counts the entire year.

Kelly won 79-54. CJ Short lit the Pioneers up from downtown tonight. Lebanon seemed early to want to make sure the game was a physical affair,but you cannot do that with JJK. The Indians absolutely wore them down in the second half. Jeremiah Cooke may be the strongest kid in the region (is at least one of them no doubt). He outmuscled the kids from Lebanon badly. Very solid effort from JJK tonight

Coach Wilson was with Doug at several games early in the season but he's not been back for a while. Not sure why. Doug did a good job with the Castlewood boys this year considering how big of a rebuilding year it was.

Congratulations to Coach Williams and Burton on the win!
