Halifax County 58 Danville 52

District Championship tonight between these two. Feel bad for anyone who paid for tickets. This is ugly and effortless. GW up 44-29 midway through 3rd.

When I watched GW against Northside, the Eagles looked very disorganized. IDK if that credit just goes to Northside's defense or what, but GW wasn't driving the ball in very well. Passing around the perimeter and settling for 3 pt attempts. Maybe GW was just off that night, but they didn't match Northside's intensity. Of course, the Vikings have made a lot of teams look bad the last 3 years.

On a separate note, Spotswood looked good against PH a couple of weeks ago. It looks like they might be on a collision course with Northside. That would be a must see matchup.

Northside had ended Spotswood’s season three years in a row. 2022 state quarters, Northside wins by 2 at Spotswood in OT.
2023 state quarters, Northside wins by 2 at Spotswood again.
2024 state quarters Spotswood has to go down to Roanoke and losses 71-54 but were down two starters.

Talk about collision course. Vikings have their number but would love to see this matchup again. I think it’ll be Spotswood and LCA for the 3C title.
 
PD teams will not last long once regional play starts.
The skill level in the Piedmont is far behind from you see from the better teams ij Roanoke or Lynchburg. I’ve been more impressed with Dan River, Chatham and Gretna than any team in the Piedmont. @mike salem I’m hearing that GW will play Salem in the first round of Regions. I hope I’m wrong but I believe the Spartans will be victorious.

I'm not sure what the matchups will be, but I was thinking GW & Salem would both be in the top 4 and one of them would face Charlottesville in the 1st round? I'm not sure how Salem will do in the regions. Late in the season in a couple of close games they got really tight and it cost them both times. (Glenvar 1 & PH 2) Of course, they vindicated themselves against both opponents recently. I could see them being tough to beat, but they are new to the 🏀 party. They aren't perennial powers in this sport so I'd give the playoff edge to their opponents. (whomever that may be) I definitely give the edge to Handley and Glass to make it to the Reg final.

Region 4D does north/south subregions for basketball. Charlottesville is in the north so they are in a sub region with Handley, Millbrook, Sherando, Orange, Liberty. The south is Glass, GW, Halifax, Mecklenberg, Salem, JF, etc.

Five teams in each sub region I'm pretty sure. So no one in the south would play Handley until the region championship.
