Six Valley teams are currently ranked in the top 15, as well as another 4 in the HM class. Centennial being 1 of those in HM. Yet Centennial is seeded # 16 ? WOW, looks to me like some people are out to make it more difficult for Yale, loading up that portion of the draw.

# 1 seed potentially gets Centennial and then Tammy, just to make it to the semis. Pretty tough draw, although they should still progress.

It really pays to be Terry Fox. A #4 seed? Are you kidding me? Look at their draw - Frank Hurt followed by Brookswood. Stamp their passport for the Dome along with Yale, White Rock and Pitt (who BTW gets an easy draw as well). Goulet and Chambers run the seeding with their best interests in mind. What I don't understand is why the other Coaches put up with it. The real question is who will survive for the last three spots for the Dome. Any early predictions?

The only team in the draw that deserves to be seeded higher than Fox is WJ Mouat, which beat Fox in a pre-season game. Fox just beat Burnaby South last week by 15 (in exhibition), and has won games over Fleetwood Park, MEI, Heritage Woods and St. Georges this season.

They lost to Yale by 15 and Pitt by 8 and 7 points.

So, the 1st round of games produces not 1, not a single upset. Who on earth decided it would be a good idea to have 32 teams in the playoffs ? Probably someone from the FV council, thinking 1 extra night of spectators paying at 8 venues would fatten up the coffers of the FV basketball association.

In fact, there were only 2 games that were decided by 5 points or less.
The bottom 8 teams, seeded 25 through 32, lost by an average of almost 39 points.

Would it not be wiser to reward the top 8 teams with a bye, and have seeds 9 through 24 play an elimination game first ?

Just a thought, any opinions ?

That there were no upsets may mean that the coaches seeded accutately. One thing you could do is make league play more meaningful and if you finish first in your league you get the bye and host. Rank the league winners 1 to 8 compared to each other then seed the rest 9 to 24 for your do or die round.

Makes a lot of sense except you would never get the traditional powers to agree. Look at this year's draw - it would mean teams like Walnut Grove and Fleetwood would be seeded higher than Fox andd that would NOT sit well with Chambers and the boys. At the end of the day, the regular season has to mean something or why play the games? If a team finishes first in their conference, therre should be some sort of reward. If it is a weak conference, they will fall out of the mix pretty early but at least they make it to the round of 16 based on their conference play.

1st game between # 8 Tamanawis vs # 9 Heritage Woods was fairly close most of the game. Tammy pulled away a bit at the end and won 77 - 62.

2nd game between # 1 Yale and # 16 Centennial was close for the 1st half. Halftime score was 51 - 44 for Yale, but that was as close as it would get. Yale outscored Centennial by 16 in the 3rd qtr to lead 84 - 61 after 3 qtrs. The 4th qtr continued the same, with both teams playing bench players. Yale outscored Cent in the 4th 33 - 9 to win by a score of 117 - 70.

Games on Tuesday :

6 PM - # 9 Heritage Woods vs # 16 Centennial

8 PM - # 1 Yale vs # 8 Tamanawis

Personally, I find the seeding of Centennial at # 16 to be way too low. I think they will still make Provincials, even with the huge loss tonight against Yale.

I also believe that # 8 Tamanawis will also make Provincials, along with Yale naturally.

Tammy played Yale tough, you don't think they'll grab one of the top 7 berths for AAAs?

When you start raining 3's and playing that hybrid-pressure style of defense (trapping everywhere) on an unsuspecting opponent, I guess anything could happen.

But Tammy has Delta now in a do-or-die, and Delta won that last match-up, so I would expect Tammy's season comes to an end on Thursday night.

Tammy plays Mouat next, not Delta.
Delta is playing Centennial.

Yes, Tammy played Yale very tough, but it also helps when Nykai gets 3 fouls in the first 4 1/2 min and sits the rest of the 1st half.

I still think that both Tammy and Centennial will make it through, along with Fleetwood, plus the 4 teams in the semi's.

Is it true that Ken Dockendorf at Ridge boycotted a game somewhat against Pitt? To protest? I mean Goulet is the guy you go to to complain about recruiting...yet he does the majority of it.

Didn't Ridge lose two of their best grade 9s from last year and Thomas Haney lost their best grade 9...all went to Pitt.

2 for 4 - not great but Walnut Grove is sure sneaking up on some teams. I see they play Mouat next - a team they beat twice during the regular season. Any one predict that Grove would have a shot at the Dome? I sure didn't.

Somewhat disappointed in Pitt last night, I feel they had the game and let it slip away. Big Mike was having his way in the paint, WRCA were almost mugging him to keep him from getting the ball. Riley, # 9 and # 45 all had 4 fouls, and Pitt stopped looking for Mike, for some reason. I always wonder why teams go away from what is working for them ?

Did anyone happen to see the Yale vs. Fox semi-final? I see it went into OT - I would love to hear a review of the game.

Earlier in the season, watching Yale play at the Bby. South tournament, it seemed like they were untouchable. Now Tammy and Fox have both played them to very close games.

Anyone have any thoughts as to what is going on?

Mouat vs Clayton

last 2 minutes, the coach and some poor choices by #13, 5 and 30 cost them a birth to the dome.

Delta vs Walnut Grove

Delta was too much for an inconsistant Grove team.

Fox vs Pitt

Fox too tired from the previous nights performance against Yale got hammered by Pitt

Yale vs White Rock

If there was any doubters about Yale, they should all be gone now. WR got left in the dust after 10 minutes of play
