Steve Lea has been on the ball and already has the tournament brackets out. He told me I could post them, so here they are.

Oh, you should be able to pick out the group of death and you will be surprised who is in that group!

CJ,

Are you thinking of a rematch????

TLH vs Maudlin

or

TLH vs South Aiken

Very good teams in this bracket.......

I can't wait until Hurst sees this!

I saw these brackets yesterday and I found them very interesting. Observations:

1. A & C are the groups of death.
2. I give Coach Lea credit for putting his team (Spring Valley) in Bracket A.
3. Dorman and Wando in the same Group....wow!
4. Best first round match: South Aiken vs. Mauldin.
5. Clover, making their first ever VC appearance, draws former region foe from their 3A days....Riverside.
6. Fort Mill meets West Ashley for the first time since the 2005 4A state final game, then (with all due respect to CJ and Jr.), possibly the 2008 4A state finalist and the 2008 3A state champion.

Hurst,
Really hard to argue with any of your observations. The fun thing is that we all get to see where we are before the regular season starts and then build from there.

Looking at the Massey ratings for each team/bracket, Bracket A has an average Massey rating of 13.9, Bracket C is 15.4, Bracket B is 19, and Bracket D is 22.75. However, the top 3 teams in the Massey ratings are in Bracket C (Wando #1, Dorman #2, and Lexington #3).

Top three 1st round matches based on combined Massey ratings:
1.) Dorman #2 vs Waccamaw #7 = 9
2.) Hilton Head #5 vs TL Hanna #13 = 18
3.) Mauldin #4 vs S. Aiken # 19 = 23

Bottom three 1st round matches based on combined Massey ratings:
1.) Brookland-Cayce #21 vs Aiken #39 = 60
2.) Dreher #30 vs Irmo #28 = 58
tie 3.) Spartanburg #22 vs Myrtle Beach #24 = 46
tie 3.) Summerville #11 vs Woodruff #35 = 46

I think it is fair to say that there is not a bad game throughout the tournament. A great field of teams!

I guarantee that CJ is a whole lot more worried about a Hilton Head team that lost almost nobody off of their state championship team than he is of who he might play in the later rounds.

That Hilton Head team is going to be a monster both offensively and defensively. Larry has done a magnificent job of bringing them together.
