Lanierland Tournament

In the spirit of the holidays, the AccessWDUN sports staff decided to try picking the 64th Lanierland Tournament bracket.

The Johnson girls and East Hall boys both moved into the main bracket of the Lanierland tournament with wins on Saturday in the play-in games.

The Gainesville boys and girls knocked off North Hall to win the 63rd Lanierland Tournament at Chestatee on Friday.

Gainesville's Keidra Young and Charlie Reisman were named the 63rd Lanierland Tournament CW Davis Most Valuable Players.

They say elephants never forget. The Gainesville boys played the 2022 Lanierland finals against rival North Hall like they definitely remembered a gut-wrenching loss to East Hall in the 2021 championship game...

The plan for Gainesville was to limit Kristina Peach and the North Hall 3-point bombers from getting unleashed in the 63rd Lanierland Tournament final...

The East Hall girls cruised past West Hall, 67-22, to stay out of next year's Lanierland play-in game at Chestatee on Friday.

The finals are set, and it's full of red and green.

For the first time in a decade, North Hall will get a chance to play for a Lanierland Tournament trophy. The Trojans routed West Hall 73-53 on Thursday in the semifinals, using a 39-5 run to open the game and never looked back...

Eric Herrick allowed himself a small smile, though he knew the first goal for his North Hall girls squad still had one more piece to be completed...
