The Blacksburg Bruins pulled off one of the biggest shockers of the evening with a twenty point domination of Pulaski Co to earn a berth in the River Ridge Boys Final. The Bruins regular season district record was 6-4. Pulaski finished 8-2, 18-4 overall and was clearly the pick to take another shot at Hidden Valley. The Titans won a playoff over the Cougars to earn the regular season title. Ben Boggs had 23 points has the Titans advanced over Salem 63-52. The Cougars and Titans will meet Friday night in the finals at the Salem Civic Center.
