Heard folks were searching for the latest girls basketball scores, so I figured I’d track down the WVSSAC 2025 tournament updates myself. Started by grabbing my laptop and hitting up the usual sports sites, but man, half those pages either had broken links or showed last year’s brackets. Even tried those fancy score-tracking apps—total waste of time.
The Wild Goose Chase
Tore through social media next, scrolling team hashtags and school district feeds. Found a few blurry pics of whiteboards with scribbled scores, but nothing official. Got so desperate I even cold-messaged some coaches. One replied saying, “Try calling the WVSSAC office”—except their phone rang straight to voicemail for three days straight. Classic.
Old-School Tactics
Dug out my car keys and physically drove to the regional athletic office Thursday morning. Lady at the counter shrugged: “Scores get posted when volunteers submit ’em.” No schedule, no timeline. Meanwhile, parents in the lobby were trading rumors like Pokémon cards. Snapped a photo of their bulletin board’s handwritten quarter-final results—grainy but legit.
The Breakthrough
- Friday night, refreshed the WVSSAC portal every 15 minutes.
- Finally saw “2025 GIRLS BB TOURNAMENT” pop up at 10:37 PM.
- Half the matchups still said “PENDING” though.
Got antsy and messaged a ref I know from coffee shop chats. He forwarded me an internal PDF—bingo! Full semifinal scores straight from the officials. Cross-referenced everything with school Twitter feeds until 2 AM.
Getting It Live
Cleaned up the data in a simple spreadsheet Saturday morning. Double-checked spellings (messing up “Parkersburg South” once nearly started a civil war last year). Drafted the update post, slapped in bold headers for each bracket section, and hit publish around noon. Refresh button took a beating all afternoon—comments blew up with “THANK YOU FINALLY” replies.
Honestly? Next year I’m just bribing a tournament volunteer with donuts. Way less hassle.
