Can someone give me the link to listen to the game online?

No formula would work out that way. Neither team should have been ranked higher even before Humboldt beat them. Just look at the schedules..

I'm just curious as to how Humboldt is ranked 3rd in Single A after defeating both teams ahead of them? Humboldt plays in a tougher district/region and had played and beat more ranked teams.

I am hoping the Vikings can pull it off also. I would love to see Coach Boykin get a gold ball along with the coach of the year award. It's been a long time coming...

No...It is not the same situation...Manassas, Humboldt, and Lake County were all ranked in the top 10. If you think that ranking doesn't make a difference, well just look at the championship game. Humboldt's only loss was to Manassas. Lake County's only losses were to #1 Humboldt and #2 Manassas. Manassas won th gold ball. There toughest game by far was the Humboldt game. I agree with the previous post that said that Temple was the 4th best team in the tournament. The championship game proved that. I just feel like #1 and #2 should be on separate sides of the bracket so that the 2nd best team will walk away with a silver ball. If Temple think they disserve a silver ball then they should've beaten the #2 team to prove it....

Man Please! Do you honestly think Temple is the second best team in the state? Manassas beat Humboldt with a last second 3 pointer. Manassas ran Temple out of the gym. As I stated on another post, this is why the #1 and #2 team should not be on the same side of the bracket. The championship was played on Wednesday morning....

Huh? Where did that come from?

You're right. I live in Atlanta. They do a wonderful job with all of their prep sports. They even broadcast them in prime time..

Oh...I see....Your team didn't make it to the championship I see. Union City and Manassas both hage large crowds...

But definately for most!

LOL! Do you even go to the tournament? You have to be kidding me....You must be talking about another sport.....

Excuses...I am saying it is wrong that BOTH top teams have to play each other in the first round. Who am I making excuses for? I just feel like the best teams should have the opportunity to play more than one game whether that team is Humboldt or Manassas. The winner from Humboldt and Manassas will win the gold ball. Beleive that. But the looser won't even have a chance for a silver ball while a weaker east team that either Humboldt ot Manassas can blow out any day of the week will get that chance...

Ican agree with that. I just don't think a five year old pulling a ticket should determine the brackets.

The kids care....Like I said.....The best teams should have the opportunity to play the most games. 1 and 2 should never meet in the first round...

The season matters. Either Humboldt or Manassas will play only one game in the Boro while a weaker team from the East will get to play at least 2. I watched Temple play White House back in December and GBA in Feb. There is no way that team should be still playing with either Humboldt or Manassas eliminated. These are kids. A lot of them are playing their last games. I think they would much rather play 2-3 more games instead of one more. For all of you that keep saying it doesn't matter, let's see if Memphis plays UCONN in their first tournament game. It's not going to happen....

That is exactly it...Why should the 4th or 5th best team in the state walk away with a silver ball. Who cares? We care. The 2 best teams should walk away with something. Do you ever watch the college ncaa tournaments? It seems to work out pretty well. Maybe you don't care because you are a fan of one of the weaker teams.

It matters because it is the difference between playing one game in the state tournament and 3. If you were a senior and played on a very good team all year would you want to go home and watch a weaker squad play 2 more games? Especially if the team you lost against is the best team in the state?

That is the best comment I have heard so far...

I have never heard of the top 2 teams in the state having to meet in the first game. Wow! It is what it is though. Hopefully the Vikings will come out on top, but I just don't believe the whole blind draw thing...

Coach Boykin was a very good coach long before that assistant arrived. He has had consistant winning seasons for years. This will be his 3rd time in the Boro in 4 years. The assistant may be a good coach, but by no means is he running the show. This is Coach Boykins team and he is the reason why they are where they are.

I'm a Humboldt fan...I like that idea...GC has a very nice gym...

They look every bit of 6 8 and 6 9 to me....Stephens and Holt are very athletic, but no more athletic than the guards they will see coming out of west tn....

Yes I have...I saw them play Montgomery Bell Academy back in January. I am originally from Humboldt but I live in Nashville. I heard a lot about this team and was curious to see them play. Don't get me wrong...I think the Beach boys are good, but they look awful slow to me compared to some of the other big men that they are going to have to compete against come tournament time...

Culleoka should not be ranked ahead of Manassas or Lake County....6 8 and 6 9 are useless against 6 4 and 6 5 of athleticism...

That depends on how those big men play...Humboldt's big men can handle the ball like guards...So depending on who they play it could very well be advantage Humboldt....
