Rough couple days for my box score taking. Last night, I pulled the wrong number off the scoreboard for Eastern Guilford's Tre Radcliffe, mistakenly attributing his 19 points to teammate Devin Pass. Two nights ago, the official scorer recorded the wrong player for Southeast Guilford's final basket, which should have gone to Andre McRae. You might think those are small issues, but they can mean a lot. Those were Mcrae's first two points of the year, definitely reason enough to see your name in the paper. His mom, Earline, sent me a friendly e-mail to clear everything up. "They're winners in my book no matter what happens at the court," she wrote, "but Mommy's always rooting for her sons!!"

On tap tonight:
-Southeast boys and girls face Trinity in the Mid-Piedmont semifinals. Those might be your best two games of the night right there. Both sides would love another crack at Ragsdale in the finals.
-Southern Guilford at Eastern Guilford and Reidsville at West Stokes in North State girls semifinals
-Top-seeded Andrews boys face Carver in the Piedmont Triad semifinals. The Red Raiders' reward for a perfect conference record? The game's at Carver.
-The Triad 3-A's top seeds gun for the finals as the Dudley girls face Northeast Guilford and Northern's boys face Western Alamance. Dudley has won the first two meetings of that matchup by a combined 77 points; Northern by 61.
-Grimsley boys get Northwest followed by Page's boys against High Point Central at Page in the Metro semifinals. If Grimsley and Page both hold seed, they'd meet for the fourth time this season in Friday's final. Page has won all three so far.
