Area III Schedules, News, Results,..... etc.

TJ- You are correct, unless something has changed since March and we haven't been told.

 

Area III was supposed to host this year but no one in Area III wanted it, so Garner took it and is taking the host spot from Area III.


I read that a couple days ago, can't remember exactly where though.

 

SuperJon,,,,,,,with all respect, I believe you got some bad information. Area 3 hosted the state tourney last year (Thomasville), the Hi-toms were the host team, and Kannapolis (area champs) were the area's 2nd team there. This year, it is Garner's area's turn to host it, and Garner is the host. The tournament rotates from each of the 4 areas each year,,,, no area gets 2 years in a row, except that DID happen once in 2004-5. Area 4 hosted the tourney 2 straight because Area 1 or 2 couldn't come up with a host site, so the tourney was in Shelby one year, and Cherryville the next.

But with Thomasville (Area 3) hosting it last year,,, Area 3 was never approached this year. Whoever told you this, was possibly referring to the situation that occurred back in 04-05,,,, my guess.

You bout had me scared that our area was being penalized for something. Thanks for explaining what you heard.

 

Btw,,,, with a program in Area 3 like Rowan County, theres never a problem getting someone in Area 3 to hold that party,,,, in fact the rest of us usually have to duke it out with Rowan just to get the inside track over them, because they will push hard to get something like that. I will say Rowan runs first class tourneys.

 

I found it a little hard to believe too. I figured with Rowan (Catawba) and Thomasville (Hi-Toms) and some of the other parks, it'd be easy to host it.

Don't know where it came from, glad to hear it's wrong.

 

I'm pretty sure that this was Area 2's year to host but nobody down there took it.

 

JM15, is Garner Area 1? If they are, then based on what you just said, maybe it was Area 2 that couldn't host it,,,, don't know, just trying to see where SuperJon got his info.

And SuperJon,,,,, no problem, I just knew (trust me I can assure you) it wasn't offered to Area 3 again this year, there would be too many grumblings about certain teams jockeying for position.

 

Garner last hosted Area I's turn in 2001. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe 2005 should have been Area 1 again but Cherryville bid on it and took it. 2006 was Area III (Thomasville) and 2007 should have been Area II (I thought Morehead City and the Wilmington teams were shooting for it, but couldn't get a large enough big together?).


By the way, I am in the process of getting Area 3 Schedules posted on the State Tourney website (www.nclegion2007.com). If you guys could, please e-mail me with score updates and any standings some of you may keep up with.

Unless East Surry loses two games this weekend, Surry will be without half its team.
