Sand Mountain Tournament

Hey, Basketball Fans! The Sand Mountain Tournament is going on at the Dekalb County Schools Coliseum.  Basketball Fans have shown up in droves.  There has been some great games and I am sure the finals will be a barnburner.

Thursday night, The Varsity Girls will be on the court.  Sylvania and North Sand Mountain square off at 6:00 p.m. My prediction is that Sylvania will win by nine points. Those gals can turn up the heat when needed.  Pisgah and Ider will face each other at 7:30 p.m.  I think Ider will pull thru and win by 5. Those girls can shoot like pros.  The winners of each game will play in the Championship Game, Saturday at 6:30 p.m.

Friday night the Varsity Boys will hit the court.  Geraldine and Plainview play at 6:00 p.m. at the Dekalb County Schools Coliseum.This is a tough one.   Both seem to be equally matched and I am afraid to make that prediction.  I think it will be a fight to the bitter end,  This one will definitely keep you on the edge of your seats.  At 7:30 p.m., Section and Pisgah face each other.  I think Pisgah will come in with a vengeance and sail past the Lions 57-48. Winners of each game will move on to play Saturday in the Championship Game, December 19, at 8:00 p.m.

Come out and support your local teams!!! Be sure to say Hi, when you see me!!
