Region 3D Playoffs

If I lived closer, I’d go to that CS/Tunstall game. It’ll be almost impossible to get a ticket unless you’re a Tunstall fan.
I guess times have changed.
I like it the old way as well, when you could see other teams play each other as well.
Made for a great atmosphere!
In my opinion, semi-finals should never be played in Pittsylvania County schools.
Tunstall, Dan River, Chatham and Gretna all were built around the same time with the same floor plans. The gyms are all the same except for the different school colors. To small for regional games.
The gym is really small. Probably holds about 750 max. Tunstall has fudged some “sell outs” to keep the opponent fans away but it was really packed tonight. They turned back reporters and it was the first time in the 32 year history of the Haley Toyota Game of the Week that they were restricted access.
Region 3B has a rule for size of gym, but that might just be for the championship game. William Monroe had to "host" at Orange County last year.
Pittsylvania County needs to have a bigger gym built in the county for this reason alone. I hated that when the original renovations plans back in the later 2000s were shot down, it was supposed to expand the gym and have an auxillary gym.
A centrally located gym that could hold bigger games and/or even an indoor track would be great. I wish we could use Averett's gym - we use it for high school graduation.

They put the wrong score - wrote 78-58. (it was was 70-58). My dad got to go to the game, but I watched on the NFHS Network. Cave Spring went backdoor on Tunstall a lot. Edmunds had a solid game for Tunstall.
Dylan Saunders led the Knights in points with 26 points, while Stark Jones followed up with 14. Knights did a great job of boxing out the Trojans. For the Trojans, Jamarcus Brown led his squad with 16 points. Jailyn Edmunds and Kobe Morrison each contributed 11 points.

Tunstall falls to Cave Spring as season comes to end
Tunstall finishes the season with a 24-3 record, the second best in program history.
Yes just like this weekend games hopewell/petersburg and lake Taylor/Lafayette are being played at the Norfolk scope which holds around 9 or 10 thousand people if I'm not mistaken.
That's a great experience for kids who have only played in small high school gyms....not to mention the atmosphere.
26-0 Vikings on alert, down 10 at half in the Region 3D final against Cave Spring
Boy's Basketball Cave Spring. 40 Northside. 30 Halftime

Cave Spring hands Northside loss number 1, 65-60 is the final.
I look for them to meet again in state semis.

HS BOYS BB: Cave Spring will "host" Staunton, Northside will travel to Spotswood.
Good question Ant. Saw where Radford U and VT were hosting 2D and 1D. Radford or Salem Civic Center should host the semi’s.
AntGZee - Spotswood/Northside definitely be held at East Rock HS - still haven't heard about CS/Staunton location.
It would be nice if Carroll County played then Cave Spring right after them. Roanoke College or Salem Civic Center. It would be even better if they had both games at the Berglund Center.
PH could play too. 3 games starting at 5pm.
I forgot about PH. Hell there's a chance for a big representation entation of Roanoke area teams in Richmond.
