It may be Christmas today, but the real holiday starts/begins tomorrow at the Greensboro Coliseum Special Events Center, with the 38th Annual TIMCO High School Basketball Tournament…Greensboro Day School boys and Page girls are the defending Champions, who will win this year’s tournaments??
Girl’s/Women’s Lineup:(Court 2)
#2 Greensboro Day School vs. #7 Northeast Guilford 1:30pm
#3 Northwest Guilford vs. #6 Smith 3pm
#4 Northern Guilford vs. #5 Ragsdale 5pm
#1 Page vs. #8 Grimsley 6:30pm
Boy’s/Men’s Lineup:(Court 1)
#2 Greensboro Day School vs. #7 Ragsdale 3pm
#3 Northwest Guilford vs. #6 Smith 4:30pm
#4 Northeast Guilford vs. #5 Northern Guilford 6:30pm
#1 Page vs. #8 Grimsley
The top 2 seeds should advance to the finals but you never know. Boys upset could come from either Northwest or Northeast beating GDS or Page in the 2nd round. Girls upset could come from Northern over Page in the 2nd round or Northeast/Northwest/Smith winner against GDS. Northwest or Smith have made it to the championship game each year for the past couple of years with some other teams getting upset early.
In the girls bracket I’m taking
GDS
NW
Ragsdale
Page
Ragsdale vs GDS in the Finals
GDS Wins
In the boys bracket I’m taking
GDS
Smith
NE
Page
Page vs GDS in the Finals
GDS wins(Page has no answer for Peter)
Going out on a limb here, Ragsdale upsets GDS.. hmmm
Scratch that notion..
#2 GDS vs. #7 Ragsdale
#3 NW Guilford vs. #6 Smith
#4 NE Guilford vs. #5 N Guilford
#1 Page vs. #8 Grimsley
GDS v. NW Guilford
Page v. NE Guilford
Page v. NW Guilford
Page wins TIMCO.
Lets try to be honest, I seen several teams around the area play and I have to say everyone is about equal. I would take Page to be the most talented and I would say the Day School is the best coached. Saying that talent usually prevails. The Day School has some really good players but this is a down year if they win the Timco it is because Freddy J outcoached all the the public school coaches. They are not real good and i could see them losing in 1st round which i know everyone would like to see. So I say Page wins it this year and if they dont sorry but next year GDS is loaded again!!!!
Page is very young and will be loaded next year as well.
The difference is who would you take the coaching staff at GDS or the coaching staff at Page? Freddy J can coach a little look at his players. I can recall five years ago there was a kid who came to GDS from NW and he played and started and could not even make a team at NW. Go figure. Page is talented and if they dont win the Little 4 this year those cats better do something bc no team in area should compete with them
Lets be honest. Freddy should be the best coach because he has unlimited access to his players and practice time. GDS is in the (insert tournament name here) because they sell a boatload of tickets.
