SMC basketball got underway last night for a few schools.
Hayesville beat Blue Ridge by 50+. It was boys only, picked up when Nantahala apparently didn't field a boys team. Not much to take away from a game like that, except learning that Hayesville's transfer from (I believe) Smoky Mountain can shoot it. Will get a better overall read on Hayesville next week when they play Tallulah Falls--which won its GA private school league last year and is 3-0 to start this year.
Swain beat Smoky Mountain by 25 or so in boys. Groenewald is back playing for Swain this year and really helps them. Not a good year for Smoky to be moving up to 3A--they're a bit down personnel-wise. Smoky won pretty handily on the girls side. Lots of size and a quick little point guard--should be pretty good in their league although I think Pisgah is probably the favorite.
Looking forward to hearing anybody's else's predictions or takes.
