Miami East, Tri-Village and wait for it... Mississinawa Valley Girls basketball teams earn sectional championships. Speaking of Miss. Valley on the other side of the basketball (boys), they earned a first round sectional win for the first time... in a long time. Congrats to the Blackhawks and the their legion of fans up in the flats lands of NW Darke County. Well deserved.
Miami East girls exorcised a demon from their collective system not once, but twice in one year as they defeated Versailles to earn ANOTHER sectional championship. The Tigers are young this year, but so are the Vikings; so come on Vikings fans admit it... this sectional win feels real good under any circumstance.
As a Patriot alum, nothing gives you the Willy's more the Royal Blue and White than seeing the J. E. T. S. Jets, Jets, Jets in a sectional game. So to say that the Patriot Nation just breathed a sigh of relief is an understatement. Kudos to the Jets on a great season, but bigger Kudos to the Patriots for finding a way to win after struggling with Cedarville last Thursday.
Miami East will face Hamilton Badin in the District final game, who came in as the number one seed out of the Wilmington sectional. Badin plays in the Girls Greater Cincinnati League and won the Grey Division. They are one of a hand full of Div III schools in their league and only one of their 5 losses was to a division III team. The Vikings face the Rams on March at 3 PM at Springfield HS.
Tri-Village plays Williamsburg who is also a small fish in a big pond in the Southern Buckeye Conference. Williamsburg plays in a league with Georgetown who is 23-0 and marching their way through the Div. III tournament. So assume that Williamsburg is battle proven and mother approved as the Patriots face the Wildcats on Saturday, March 5th at Tipp City HS.
The Blackhawks will face last year's Div IV State qualifier in the Redskins of Ft. Loramie. Fort Loramie had 5 losses this year but they are to teams with a combined record of... a lot of wins and very few losses. The Blackhawks have the 3 PM game in Tipp City on March 5th.
The boys are having a pretty good run in the first round of the tourney. So far the CCC is 6 - 3 and the boys don't have to prey on each other like we do in the girls Division IV tournament.
Good Luck to all the CCC teams!

Tournament Time!
First, congrats to the Lady Patriots and coach Brad Gray; and the Miami East Vikings and coach Alan Mack for winning their respective CCC Conference Titles.
The Patriots and Vikings head into the post season ranked in the top ten in the State Rankings. Expectations are high in New Madison and Casstown and I'm sure the Patriots and Viking faithful will be out in full force to support all of their athletic teams.
For the first time since '03 I will not be covering any post season games. I'm going to attend as many post season games as time allows, but I'll be a paying fan like the rest of you. I've missed keeping the website up this year for the CCC, but I've been keeping busy with coaching duties on my 11 year old twins basketball teams.
The CCC Champs page of my website has been updated and as the regular season ends and I'll be updating the standings and other historical stats on winning percentages. Rest assured, the historical portion of this webpage will continue. Maybe sometime here in the next couple of years I'll get back to a minimum of keeping the standings updated every weekend.
Now that I'm not covering the games, I hope it breaks the CCC drought at the state basketball tournaments. I've always coveted the opportunity to roam the bowels of the Schottenstein center to cover a state basketball game for the CCC, but I'll gladly exchange it for a seat in the stands to cheer on any of our respective teams. Good luck to all and as my time as a 'rec' coach is coming to an end for this season, I'll try to update the blog on any action I see these next couple of weeks.

Lady Patriots Advance to the Regionals
Well it took a District Final to get me away from my kids rec. basketball games to watch the Lady Patriots. What an exciting game as the Patriots won in OT to win their first District Championship in the long tradition of basketball at Tri-Village. You can read more about the game at tvpatriots.com
What a great crowd and atmosphere at that game. The folks from TV area and alumni throughout the area came into Tipp City to support the Patriots. The great TV Pep Band was there too and that was a great touch to add to the excitement.
The Lady Patriots will play at Springfield High School this Thursday against the Southeastern Trojans from South Charleston. It will be in the Trojans back yard since they are located in Clark County. I think they will meet their match since you know everybody from Patriot land will be there to support their team.
I'll be there to help Dale from tvpatriots to cover the game. Between one of the websites we'll give you all the details, so be sure to check back with us.
Good Luck to the Lady Patriots and to the Bethel Bees and Franklin Monroe Jets on the boys side as they play in the District Finals. Go Pats! Go CCC!
