The 2007 Taco Bell Viking Cup will be hosted by Spring Valley HS February 22-25 in Columbia. This is a slight change from years past as this prestigious event has been moved from the traditional weekend (the week before) and allows some of the smaller schools to participate since most basketball players will have completed their seasons. For more information concerning this girls tournament, please contact Steve Lea at slea@svh.richland2.org.

Interesting.
Bracket D has to be the Group of Death with last season's 4A finalists Irmo and Dorman, plus perennial power Fort Mill.
Best first-round matchup: West Ashley vs. Mauldin. I'm sure those two teams are thrilled about seeing eachother right out of the gate.
Great field......always a tremendous tournament. Hope everybody has their basketball players back before this thing kicks off.

Based on the preseason rankings, Bracket C could be the easiest. 4A #9, #10, #11 and 3A #2, #4, #5 and #11. Eastside and Spring Valley seem to have great shots at making it to the Final 4.

I'd make Lex the favorite as well. Their second game of the tournament is definitely one to watch as they get the winner of Mauldin-WA.

I predict that Riverside & Eastside reach the finals with EASTSIDE winning it all.
Sleeper teams are HH, Aiken, & FM.
Good luck to all. Looks like weather will be nice.
