Starting today and going through the middle of next week, Christiansburg's Harkrader Sports Complex will host the Virginia Dixie state baseball tournament. A total of 24 teams -- including two from the New River Valley -- are slated to play in two different tournaments based on age brackets to determine state champions for Virginia and berths in the World Series.
A sense of familiarity permeates the brackets for each classification as the state tournaments get going for girls soccer, starting with first-round games for 5A and 4A this afternoon.

It's March, so of course we've got a column full of college basketball ... How about those MWC men's brackets for this week's tournaments? If Air Force can beat Colorado State in the "play-in" game, the four quarterfinal games will all be repeats of Saturday's games with BYU playing Air Force, Utah taking on TCU, New Mexico playing Air Force and UNLV meeting up with San Diego State.

The names belong to the people who might show up for the weekly shuffleboard tournaments he runs on Monday nights. The numbers are their ratings, as decided by Cockrum and disputed by no one. After all, who knows or cares more about shuffleboard than Woodie Cockrum?
An injury hurts as much as a loss in the days before the brackets are drawn up for March Madness. Syracuse endured both and will have to rack up some major airplane time to make a run to the Final Four. Kansas, Kentucky and Duke won their conference tournaments and the top seeding that went with them when the selection committee rolled out its 65-team NCAA tournament bracket Sunday.
