We're definitely not unbeatable. No girls team in TN is unbeatable.
At the same time, Burdette hasn't "exposed" Loretto. She may have in a few games last year, but she didn't expose us this year. We are a completely different team. She made some good offensive plays, and I believe she finished with like 16-18 points. We didn't have problems scoring in the paint, and she wasn't close to an unstoppable force offensively (not to mention they had a lot of trouble feeding her). So i'm not sure what you're referring to here.
We can hypothesize what will or can happen all day, but the games will be played and I'm sure there will be a few shockers along the way.
A lot of people doubted how good Loretto truly was earlier in the year. Westmoreland could beat GC or WV on any given night. Karly balled out that game (30 plus), but outside of her, our shots weren't falling like they have in every other game (still won by 7 on the road). We all know SS is a great team, beating them by 11 on the road/neutral was a solid win. I heard multiple people say Summertown would play us close, that game was never close and if not for 2 separate clutch 3's by Campbell, could have been blown wide open.
Anything can happen in basketball, but I think all any of us in Lawrence County are saying is Loretto is special this year, but that definitely doesn't mean we are unbeatable. Crazy things are known to happen at Substate & State! Any of the top 7ish teams could get hot & win in AA. But I'll still say, if a AA team beats Loretto, they're going to have to shoot well, protect the ball, handle pressure, create space in the halfcourt game, and play great Defense. If a team doesn't put all of that together, I don't think it will happen. If it does, I'll be the first to congratulate that team on a great win!
I'm just excited to see it all unfold!
