WCEBA tourney Monday

The quest for the county league championships begins Monday, when the Warren County Elementary Basketball Association tournament tips off at the high school?s Charlie Dalton Gym.

While Dibrell?s boys and Eastside?s girls claimed last season?s tourney titles in the seventh- and eighth-grade league, this year the roles are reversed, with the Dibrell girls and Eastside boys coming into the tournament as the No. 1-seeded teams.

Irving College?s girls and the Dibrell boys are the two-seeds, while both teams from Morrison are seeded No. 3 in their respective brackets.

First-round action gets under way Monday at 5:30, with Eastside?s fourth-seeded girls taking on No. 5 Centertown. The Centertown boys are also seeded fifth, and will take the court for Monday?s second game, facing Irving College at 6:45.

Monday?s final game is set for 8 p.m., and pits Irving Colleges girls against the Lady Eagles from Morrison.

After taking Tuesday and Wednesday off, the action picks back up on Thursday, beginning at 5:30 with Dibrell?s boys facing Morrison. The Centertown-Eastside girls winner takes on the top-seeded Lady Wildcats at 6:45, and Eastside?s top-seeded boys close out the night with their game against either Irving College or Centertown at roughly 8 p.m.

The tournament concludes with four Friday night games, beginning with the girls? consolation contest at 5 p.m. The boys? third-place game will be next, followed by the girls? and boys? championship games.

Admission for each night of the tournament is $4 for adults, and $3 for students.
