WHAT ARE YOUR TOP GAMES YOU WILL BE WATCHING FRIDAY NIGHT?

On the men's side, two games really stick out for me.

First, I think the Voyager-Ravenscroft matchup is interesting, even though it's non-conference. Voyager has a highly rated big man and a great record, but when you look at their schedule, there aren't that many teams with a pulse on there. Not their fault, it's just the conference that they're in. But this is a good chance for them to prove themselves against a very good team.

Second, Alleghany and West Wilkes should be a good game, considering West Wilkes is 2A and almost pulled the upset over a good Starmount team recently.

Glad you mentioned the Voyager and Ravenscroft game, because that will be a game I am attending tonight.

The guys you are mentioning is Jay Huff, who is like 6-9 or so but plays like Ryan Kelly did. He can shoot the outside ball, but does struggle at times down low due to his weight.

He is a good player and under the radar in North Carolina.

A Senior that I'm looking at is Chris Sauce, who has been proven to be a scorer. Hear Belmont Abbey will be in to check him out tonight.

On the girls side it's Albemarle(7-4) and South Davidson (11-3). Albemarle has been hit with injuries all year and just now at 100% healthy. They were up in the 3rd quarter on Monroe before Robinson went down with an injury and the last 4 or 5 games have gotten healthy and they have Davis-Hill back now which gives them everybody healthy really for the first time all year. They have won 5 straight (including the forfeit) so it will be interesting to see how they look against a good South Davidson team. The first week of February they play undefeated West Mont twice and a Carolina Christian team that went 29-1 last year and won the Naca d3 national title. That will be the week to see how dangerous they will be come playoff time.

I think tonight is a chance for Cherryville to right their ship, and add a W in the win column. I realize that Bessemer City beat them once already, but I would fully expect them to get this season turned around. If they are what I have been led to believe, it is not even impossible for them to fight their way back to number 1 or 2 in the conference by the time the season is over. It could be that I have been mislead about their talent. I know that they lost their best 2 players last year, but their most devoted poster still seemed to believe that they had a good team. Its time to turn the ship if they are going to.

 

[bulldog nation2014]

Albemarle girls and guys got the win tonight. Albemarle girls won 60-55 and the boys won 74-42 I believe. Very physical hard fought on both games. Albemarle girls play undefeated west Montgomery on 2/3 which should be a great matchup. On 1/21 it's rivalry night with Albemarle and North Stanly playing at Pfeiffer University. Varsity Girls will tip at 6pm.

Did we beat west wilkes tonight alleghany,

 

[Alleghany84]

Alleghany won 59 to 49. Austin Sprinkle scored 24 points, and Fabian Santos scored 19 with 22 rebounds 6 assists and 6 blocks. Trojans got off to a very rough start 3 early turnovers and 2 missed shots. Down 9-0 before you could blink your eyes. Took the lead by halftime and never trailed again. Trojan size was just to much for the blackhawks.
