A chan High School Associa-3
tic n Basketball tournament which
v held in the gymnasium at
A. S. 7. C. in Boone beginning next
Monday afternoon and ending on
Thursday night.
According to the tournament
schedule which was adopted at a
o.. of the executive committee
las; nday afternoon, after care
IL .iscussion of the matter by
m ers Of the committee and 9TH
~ coaches present, the four leading
teams in the county divisions were
given seeded places. This was done
in order to prevent the best teams
from meeting in the first rounds.
The seeded teams are: boys, Vir-
ginia-C Carolina, LantGng, Caossnore
and Cove Creek; girls, Cove Creek,
Virginia Carolina, Nathan's Creek
and Cranberry.
The standings of these seeded
teams, until up the last games which
were played Tuesday night, were:
boys, notwithstanding, won IL and
lost 2; Lansing won II and lost 8;
Crossmore, won and lost 2; Cove
Creek, won and lost 2. Girls
VIC, 13 won and / lost; Nathan's
Creek 10 won and 2 lost; Cove
Creek, victories and no losses, and
Cranberry, 6 wins and 2 losses.
At the meeting Sunday it was
pointed out that any one of these
four teams, as well as practically
any team entered has good chance
to win as there is not great differ
ence between most of the quints,
especially in Alshe county. With
possible exception of Cove Creek
and Cranberry, Ashe teams are re-
garded as being stronger than the
other teams in Watauga and Avery
counties, although Cranberry and
Cove Creek are plenty good.
The Boone boys won last year
by defeating Cove Creek in the fin
ais and Lansing girls came out on
top by licking Cove Creek. Under
the direction of Coach L. S. Spaven,
Cove Greek has unusually strong
teams this year.
