(West)
#24 South Mecklenburg at #8 Dudley 7pm….Dudley’s PG Brion Seagraves having problems with his nose and we are hearing could be broken.

#12 WS Reynolds at #5 Northwest Guilford 7:30pm….Separation, that is what NWG needs and the defense must be more on the ball than they were back on Monday…NWG needs a huge game from Spicer and Gore and the other things will take care of themselves….

Giles and others must step up and go into carrying the overload tonight….Giles must still play under control and not try to get it all at one time, let the game come to him, until he is forced to go get it….+++++Getting a bit confusing, but new news from Joe Sirera and the News and Record:Western athletics director Chris Causey confirmed today that Ce’Darius Dockery(Western Guilford) was not suspended…They are saying that video tape review, Ced Dockery did not leave the bench area on Monday night when the altercation broke out and therefore Dockery is in for WG tonight…Might give the team a boost, things looking bad, but now looking better…..+++++
