Higher seeds hold serve, except for one game in Greater Neuse

Tuesday February 16, 2010

Pac-6 tourney begins on Wednesday

Greater Neuse results 

#4 West Johnston 50 - #5 Southeast Raleigh 40

 #1 Garner 80 - #8 Smithfield-Selma 50

#6 East Wake 51 - #3 Clayton 39

#2 Knightdale 78 - #7 Harnett Central 65

-West Johnston vs. Garner Wednesday at Garner 7:30pm

-East Wake vs. Knightdale Wednesday at Garner 6pm

Conference skinny:  The Garner Trojans are odds on favorites to win, but are probably hoping the Knightdale Knights are knocked off before Friday.  The Knights are the only conference team to topple the Trojans twice this season.

Tri-9 results

#3 Panther Creek 61 - #6 Lee County 58

#4 Athens Drive 49 - #5 Cary 48

#1 Apex 45 - #8 Fuquay-Varina 37

#2 Middle Creek 65 - #7 Holly Springs 50

-Middle Creek vs. Panther Creek at Panther Creek Wednesday 5:30pm

-Athens Drive vs. Apex at Panther Creek Wednesday 8:30pm

Conference skinny:  Top seed Apex is ranked high in our rankings like the other conference top seeds. With only a single conference loss by one point, they are as well equipped as anyone to win their respective tournament.  Panther Creek could shake things up if they do not go down to Lee County.  The Panthers are the only team to defeat Apex and Middle Creek in conference play.

Cap-7 results

#4 Broughton 58 - #5 Sanderson 41

#3 Wakefield 66 - #6 Wake Forest-Rolesville 52

#2 Enloe 81 - #7 Leesville Road 49

-Wakefield vs. Millbrook at Broughton 7pm Thursday

-Broughton vs. Enloe at Broughton 5:30pm Thursday

Conference skinny:  The general public thinks this will come down to another cage match between Enloe and Millbrook.  Not so fast, Wakefield has shown that they can beat both and should be in the discussion.  Despite recent struggles since Matt James went down, Sanderson is a dark horse to make it to Friday.
