Bramlage Coliseum hasn’t seen its last basketball game this season, not by a long shot as the 2A state tournament begins on Wednesday.  The girls will take the court first in the quarterfinal round, with TVL runner-up Valley Heights in the field.  Mustangs coach Ryan Noel says it’s always an honor to play at Bramlage Coliseum.  Valley Heights last played at state in 2008 with a loss to Berean Academy in the first round, when leading scorers Macy Parker and Gentry Botkin were sophomores.  Valley Heights will be the #7 seed, and will face #2 seed Hill City in the quarterfinals on Wednesday at 6:30 pm.  Noel says the Ringnecks run a high-octane offense, that reminds him of the Texas Tech football team’s attack.
