It has become the ‘red-headed step child’ of the two-week period at the Charleston Civic Center known as the West Virginia State High School basketball tournaments. With action beginning at 9:30 a.m. the 24 remaining girls’ programs will compete over the next four days to see who is the best in the Mountain State’s three-class setup. The problem is, however, the 12,000-seat facility, which will average 8,000 or more when the boys descend upon the site a week from today, will look more like a morgue. When the Secondary School Activities Commission moved (or was that, forced to move) girls’ basketball from the fall to the winter back in the mid-1990s, it basically signed the tournament’s death warrant. Yes, there are some decent crowds for certain matchups during the regular season and there will be a couple of games this week that will have between 3,000 and 5,000 spectators in the stands. But, if you don’t already have your tickets for the game of your choice, don’t worry.
