Dogwood District QF's on Monday

Tonight, District Tournament play is taking place all over the place. Here is a portion of the schedule

Dogwood Boys BB (All games at 7:00)
# 7 William Campbell at # 2 Altavista

Previous Meetings this season:
Jan 7 2011 at Altavista: Altavista 58 William Campbell 37
Feb 1 2011 at William Campbell: Altavista 41 William Campbell 36

Notes: Reigning Dogwood Player of the Year Jerrell Jordan is averaging 10.5 ppg and 9 rpg against William Campbell this season, but Mike Robinson has been the real thorne in Robbie St. John's side. Robinson is averaging 18.5 ppg and 6.5 rpg. Robinson is shooting an astounding 84 % from the floor against the Generals. The last times these two teams met in the tournament was the 07-08 season, which Altavista won 73-45. William Campbell did defeat the Colonels in 2005-2006 at Altavista 51-50, a loss which kept the Colonels home from making the regional playoffs for the only time in their 8 years in Single A. (Shameless plug here) You can hear this game tonight on 105.5 KD Country

# 6 Nelson County at # 3 Appomattox

Jan 4 2011 at Nelson County: Appomattox 70 Nelson County 64
Jan 25 2011 at Appomattox: Appomattox 77 Nelson County 71

Nelson County could be without Trevor Martin, who suffered an ankle injury on Friday night against Dan River in Ringgold. The Governors do have solid pieces in place though if Martin can't go such as veterans Jordan Wooten and James Saunders along with Quincy Murphy. A big test might be how will Nelson point guard, Adam Pickett (freshman) fair in his first postseason game. Appomattox has versatility in the backcourt (Josh Wilson, Shaquan Moore) and in the front (Devanti Perkins) to name just a few. Perkins, who tallied 20 in the 1st meeting between the two, was sidelined with a one game suspension when the two met a 2nd time (2 technical fouls the game before). However, a combined 54 points from Josh Wilson and Shaquan Moore (29 from Wilson, 25 from Moore) carried the Raiders through. The Raiders have hit 23 3's in two games against Nelson County, with 9 coming from Shaquan Moore. The winner will meet the winner of Altavista and William Campbell either at Altavista or at Appomattox or Nelson County (should the Generals beat Altavista)

# 5 Chatham at # 4 Gretna

Dec 30 2010 at Averett: Gretna 55 Chatham 53
Jan 14 2011 at Gretna: Gretna 60 Chatham 50
Feb 8 2011 at Chatham: Chatham 62 Gretna 46

If you are going by what's in your mind the last, then you have to like Chatham. Aaron Rogers threw in 22 points and recorded 20 rebounds last Tuesday in Chatham to give the Cavaliers the victory. Gretna though has tallied two victories including the holiday shootout at Averett which threw in an extra meeting into the standard 2 between these teams. That meeting back in late December was won when Joe McGee's tip in won it for the Hawks. McGee finished with 24 in that affair, while backcourt mate Devonate Pannell chipped in 18. The winner of this will meet the top seeded Dan River Wildcats Wednesday in Ringgold.
