There’s hope for Glenvar defeating Alleghany in their match as the Highlanders claimed a victory over the Cougars just last week at home π‘. The reason that matters to a Carroll County fan is if its Carroll County – Glenvar for the Title then the match is played on our Hill but if A
Region 3D has 11 teams and let’s assume that the same format is used for the tournament as last year. If that’s the case then the Top 5 get a first round bye while #8 hosts #9, #7 hosts #10 and #6 hosts #11.
The second round would be 1 vs 8/9, 2 vs 7/10, 3 vs 6/11 and 4 vs 5.
Having a bit of unofficial fun while I await an Official Region 3D Bracket, let’s take a look at the possibilities.
Hidden Valley is going to be the #1 seed and will play at Home throughout.
Christiansburg (18-3) should land the #2 seed by an ever so small margin over #3 Lord Botetourt (17-4).
**** Interesting Fact about Tunstall Trojans – All 3 Loses occurred on the same day in a Jamboree event.
If that plays out in that order CCHS would receive a Bye and then head back to Tunstall for a rematch of last years thrilling 5 set battle with the Trojans.
Teams 6 – 11 include Cave Spring (11-9) and Abingdon (12-11) with winning records and solid power ratings but I would be surprised if either could get moved up ahead of Carroll County.
The lower four teams in the bracket should battle it out with those two for the right to play the Top 3 at the same time of the #4-#5 match.
If Carroll County lands the #5 seed in the Region then I don’t see a path where they play at home because the teams above them aren’t prone to fall to teams 6-11.
But if they fall to #6 then they would host #11 and finally if they were to somehow jump Tunstall and land in the #4 spot they would host the Trojans.
For the sake of taking the story Full Circle π΅, everyone should come out Tuesday night π and cheer on the Home π‘ team because it could be their final Home match…..
