Daily Tournament Fix — Feb. 27

By Michael Cooper | Friday, February 27, 2009, 11:00 AM

Here’s your daily tournament fix for Friday, Feb. 27:

Tonight’s Boys games: D-II - Graham vs. Indian Lake, 6 p.m., at Troy High School; D-III - Northeastern vs. Greeneview, 5 p.m., and West Liberty-Salem vs. Anna, 7:15, at UD Arena.

Tonight’s Girls games: D-II sectional finals - Kenton Ridge vs. Carroll, 6:30 p.m., and Graham vs. Tippecanoe, 8:30 p.m, at Vandalia Butler’s Student Activities Center.

Short Takes: The top-ranked Graham boys hoops team’s run back to the state tournament begins tonight. The Falcons are 43-1 over the last two seasons. Their lone loss came in the D-II state semifinal last March to Toledo Libbey and eventual Ohio Mr. Basketball William Buford. … Northeastern and Greeneview have played twice this season with the Rams winning both matchups. The Jets, however, have won 5 of their last 8 games, including a victory over D-IV No. 5 Southeastern. … West Liberty-Salem will have its hands full tonight against Anna. The Rockets beat them 65-35 on Feb. 7. After going 1-6 in January, the Tigers are 4-3 in February. … The KR girls team lost to Carroll 50-42 last season. The Patriots eventually advanced to the D-II regional final, falling to eventual state champion Alter. … The No. 1 ranked girls team in D-II, Tippecanoe, is allowing just 33.2 ppg. They beat Graham 76-38 in the second game of the year on Dec. 4. Falcons coach Christie Dodane has tons of tournament experience, guiding Miami East to the state final twice in her nine years at the helm.

Key player: Chelsea Black, Graham. Senior point guard and her teammates will have to protect the basketball against Tippecanoe’s swarming press. Black did a great job handling the ball and grabbing steals against Indian Lake on Monday. They’ll need that same kind of production against the Red Devils.

Live blogs: Keep an eye out for several live blogs from tonight’s games. I’ll be live-blogging both girls games, and we’ll likely do a few of the boys games.
