ASHEVILLE - October 25, 2007 - Nine teams from Western North Carolina, along with Watauga, are still in the running for the state championships in all four divisions and two of the games put teams together for the third and fourth time this year.
The 1-A Big Smoky Mountain Conference champs, Swain, meets Murphy for the third time. In the 2-A Western Athletic Conference, Pisgah and Brevard meet for the second time. Swain took three matches over Murphy, 3-1, 3-0 during the regular season and 3-0 in the conference tournament.
The Lady Black Bears split with Brevard, taking the first game in three games and the Lady Blue Devils won the second matchup 3-2.
Reigning 1-A State Champions, Hendersonville, from the Western Highland Conference, hosts 1-A Little Smoky Mountain Conference champion, Hiwassee Dam.
In the 3-A, #1 seed, Mountain Athletic Conference champion, Enka, travels to #1 seed Fred T Foard in Hickory in a rematch from 2005 in which the Lady Tigers manhandled the Sugar Jets, 3-0. Foard went on to win the state title that year.
#2 seeded Franklin, from the MAC, hosts #3 Eastern Randolph. If both Enka and Franklin win, they would play again for the fourth time.
#1 seeded Watauga was champion of a relatively weak Northwestern Conference and they host #2 Providence out of Charlotte.
All games start at 6:00 pm.
