Boys & Girls NND Standings/Comments

[uvacavs1]

There have been some wild NND boys games lately. This past Saturday at Northumberland at Essex game sold out 10 minutes before the JV game even began

Northumberland defeated Essex by one point on a last second shot for the second time this season. With less than three minutes left, Essex had a five point lead over the Indians. From what I was told from those in attendance it was a wild atmosphere, some Essex fans in one section began chanting for NHS to go home. After the Indians' Delvin Palmer hit the winning shot in the final second, he turned and waved to that boisterous Essex section as the Indian players and fans stormed the court. Sounds exciting! Essex's Alex Peterson scored 25 points in the loss.

While NHS has less wins than Lancaster, NHS may get the higher seed in the tournament due to higher points (NHS played many big schools early in the season). So Essex v LHS game may loom large.

Rappahannock had some recent big wins v NHS and Essex.

Standings coming up.

yes and no. W&L is still 2A for this season (returns to 1A next school year).

W&L is still in the NND for scheduling purposes but they will not play in the Conference 43 (old NNK) tournament this year. They have to play in 2A tournaments until Fall Sports 2017. Their games do count in the points race.

I think the Essex girls is going surprise everyone. They beat Lancaster tonight with Pratt playing sick. 48 to 45

I absolutely hate it when I'm at a game and the announcer calls it a conference game! It's not because these schools do not play a conference schedule. I break downs like this: district, conference, region and state.

Lancaster boys win conf43 tourney.
CB giris win conf43 tourney

Not exactly. They may indeed win the Conference 43 tourney but it has not even started yet. The 43 Quarterfinals for boys (maybe girls as well) are played tomorrow.

#3 Northumberland hosts I think Rapp County. I assume if NHS wins they would play at Essex next week. That would mean the other Qs would be Rapp-Warsaw v CB.

The Conference 43 finals are usually at Lancaster and both teams go to Regions. I think it doesn't matter who wins as seedings are still based on regular season only (unless it has changed, very confusing for the fans).

Now Lancaster boys are Conference 43 #1 seed for the tourney and Essex boys #2.

Colonial Beach girls are the 43 # 1 seed for the tourney. LHS or Rapp-Warsaw should be #2.

(Northumberland Boys (12-8) played their last regular season game last night for Senior Night and defeated 2A W&L like 89-49. The NHS girls also won over W&L last night)

Essex girls are #2 based on record and power points. Rapp girls have hit a skid and are on a 3 or 4 maybe 5 game losing streak. I predicted Lancaster boys winning because of the home court advantage. What ever happened to the alternating district championship host site changing from year to year. Boys wise, It's really anybodies to win, as we have witnessed all year. Girls wise, Colonial Beach's dominance over the last 4 or 5 years has been impressive and i dont see a conf 43 team beating them. Good luck to everyone!!!
