If mineral springs is on, Kirby could lose the district finals. Didn't shoot well last night. So could be a good game. (Boys) then acorn girls moving up the freshman, split the season with Kirby with both teams winning at home. So round three at acorn.

Both could be very good games. Kirby boys struggled last night to get anything going (aside from Smith). He carried the load for them. Acorn boys played probably as well as they could but just ran out of gas. It was a fun game to watch when you didn't have a dog in the fight.

I wasn't able to make it, heard we got a slow start along with acorn trying their hardest not to be that 4 seed. So it happens. Mineral can go now. They have the team looking good.

Concord/Shirley could be good

Boys:
Shirley/Concord- Shirley beat concord by 8 at concord this year, and concord missed 20 free throws. Shirley beat Concord by 20 at Shirley, and the 23 kid for Shirley shot lights out. This time being on a neutral court I feel like it will be a good game, but I see Shirley winning by around 10.

Guy/Marvell- I don't know how these games went this year, but im assuming guy won both meetings. Im expecting the same tonight.

Girls:
Rural Special/Concord- Rural Special beat Concord in close game at Rural early this year, and then Concord beat them in the semi finals of a tournament, and at concord. All of these games were pretty close if I remember right, so it could go either way. But im saying concord by 8.

Wonderview/Nemo Vista- I have seen these teams play in the state finals, and the finals of every tournament for about the past 4 years it seems like. It is always back and forth and low scoring. I expect the same tonight with nemo for the win. That's all they know how to do. I suspect a very, very good game.

Kirby didn't shoot well and Acorn kids crashed the glass. Acorn survived by hitting the 3's and Kirby survived with Smith. Then Acorn ran out of gas and Kirby started getting some easier looks. The better team won without a doubt but kudos to Acorn for battling. Mineral Springs could really give teams fits with their depth. And if they shoot the 3-ball well and get some easy transition points, the Trojans may have their hands full tonight. If Acorn wasn't so far away, I might go watch.

Itll come down to who is hitting shots.

they play a lot alike, could be one of the best games so far this year plus Nemo/Wonderview play which is always great for girls. So it's gonna be worth the price of admission but I don't know about the gas.

Rural Special has beat concord twice. Once in the conference game and the other in the Greers Ferry Lake Classic. Concord has only beat them once in the most recent conference game.
