We will be having our annual tournament Nov. 12th-16th this year. We had a great tournament last year with Pikeville winning the championship. We usually have between 8 and 14 teams in the tournament. If interested comment here or call me at 637-6458 (home) or 794-6296 (cell). There is no entry fee.
Alternate dates will be the first week or the third week of November (depending on the dates of our preseason tournament).
This is a premier tournament that allow teams to see where they stand early in the season. I can testify that you can expect to play quality competition with the best officiating "possible" and the most flexible schedule anywhere. Randy year-in and year-out host the best tournament around and he will more than accommodate everybody and place his team up against the toughest 0pponents, especially in pool play. Dorton has great resources for all participates and it is an honor to attend as a supporter and spectator each year.
Thanks Coach Davis for all you do for the kids, not only at Dorton but throughout the county.
Yes i do very much agree it is better than the preseason tourney in Pike County, I just love the concept of pool play so the tourney can be set and the teams involved are top of the line competition, he does run a wonderful tourney there.
Guys,
Thanks for the kind words. We have been lucky enough to have good teams enter our tournament every year. The competition level is always tough (we didn't even make it past the first night last year with a pretty good team). Our principal has really supported this tournament over the years and works really hard to help make it a great one. Our parents really give of themselves (with concession items and labor) to make it a success, and I couldn't do it without the help of my mom, dad, and wife. Coach Rowe at Virgie has also helped alot by letting us use their gym for some first round games. I think last year's field was the most evenly matched we've had. Hopefully this years' will be close to as good as it was.

Meant to mention to you last week when we was on the phone, if this tournament does not interfere with the Right Beaver Classic, if I can get in it since it's Floyd County's opening season tournament, Wesley would enjoy being part of this though we are young and have a lot of developing to do.
That's a lot of if's! What about Betsy Layne? Hazard? Magoffin? Johns Creek?
I think Johns Creek is in it.
Good! I think you guys will do well!
Is there any updates of who is in the tournament so far?
