Sounds like a great tournament,we need more of these on the middle school level

I agree, to get better you must play better. I just wish I could get one more strong team to be final.

The field is set and we have had a few to come and go but here is the games for Saturday Jan. 3rd at McCreary County:

Pool Play:
Boston Elem vs Southern Blue
Clinton Co. vs Jackson Co
Pine Knot vs Southern Blue
Clinton Co vs Boston Elem
Pine Knot vs Jackson Co
Wayne Co vs Williamsburg
South Laurel vs Southern White
Manchester vs Williamsburg
Wayne Co vs South Laurel
Southern White vs Manchester

I believe the game to watch will be at 12:00 which is two unbeaten teams with Wayne County and South Laurel. Should be a great tourny: wish we had some unbeaten teams from the far east but oh well, maybe next year. I will keep everyone updated.

Before I post the results, I want to think everyone that helped and came to play. After a long day of nothing but basketball here are the results:

Pool Play:
Wayne County 45 Williamsburg 23
South Laurel 51 Southern B 8
Manchester 23 Williamsburg 36
Wayne County 45 South Laurel 43
Manchester 32 Southern B 7

Pine Knot 31 Jackson Co 40
Clinton Co B 14 Southern A 56
Boston Elem 47 Jackson Co 38
Pine Knot 37 Southern A 43

First Round:
Manchester 50 Clinton Co B 31
Pine Knot 44 Southern B 18

Second Round:
South Laurel 44 Williamsburg 36
Jackson Co 36 Boston Elem 34
Wayne Co 51 Pine Knot 15
Southern A 50 Manchester 29

Semi Finals:
Wayne Co 40 Jackson Co 29
South Laurel 54 Southern A 20

3rd Place:
Southern A 51 Jackson Co 46

Championship Game:
Wayne County 50 South Laurel 33

I would love to see a team to compete with Wayne County. They played all 12 players in each game and won with ease, except the first S.L game. This team is tough and very polite team. Coming into the tourny South Laurel and Wayne County both was undefeated and with the two losses now South Laurel isn't.

I was talking to their coach and he said he would love to play any team from the east that thought they we're that good.( I was talking to him about Russell and L.C). He said anytime any place he wasn't hard to get a hold of.

You guys missed a great tourny.

Any plans for another tournament like this at the end of the year?

[donnie355]

I kind of doubt it. But if we do I'll post it on here and hopefully we can gather some of these TOUGH TEAMS from the eastern part of the start.
