A few notes regarding our 4 signees from back in November...

Michael Christmas, 6'6" Fwd, Landstown HS, Virginia Beach -- Christmas' team finished the regular season with the 3rd seed in Class 6 Region A. They have made it to the region finals, which will be played tonight against top-seed Oscar Smith HS at the Scope in Norfolk (8pm). They have of course qualified for the state tournament (quarterfinals) and will play again Friday night with opponent and location dependent not only on their outcome tonight, but also what happens in the Class 6 Region B final between Colonial Forge & James River.

Mike Fowler, 6'9" Fwd, Greensboro Day School, Raleigh -- his team finished 30-5 and this past Saturday won the state 4A North Carolina Independent Schools championship over Christ School, who upset the #1 seed (Charlotte Christian, 27-1) in the quarterfinals. Congrats to Mike and his team for winning the state championship.

Quinn Richey, 6'5" Guard, Mt. Pisgah Christian School, Johns Creek, Georgia -- Quinny's team bowed out of the Georgia High School Association's Class A Private School state tournament last week in the 2nd round with a 10 pt loss to Eagles Landing Christian Academy, also in the Atlanta area. Richey's team finished 17-13 on the season.

Julien Wooden, 6'8" Fwd, Northside HS, Roanoke -- Julien and his Northside team plays in the Class 3 Region D championship tonight against Cave Spring HS. Northside is the #1 seed. Interesting side note, if by chance Northside loses, they will face Spotswood HS (the Region C champs) in the state quarterfinals at a location TBA...will be in the Valley area (note, Spotswood's girls are opening their state quarterfinal at nearby East Rockingham HS). If Northside wins tonight, there is a chance they'll face Spotswood in the state semifinals if they each advance in the state quarterfinal games this upcoming Friday, March 1.
