Best Senior Point Guards: 1. Haley Nelson 2. Taylor Mills 3. Rachel Dye 4. Jasmine Robinson 5. Kristen Powell 6. Heather Butler

Great year for the lady trojan basketball program. You represented the IMAC well both this year and tonight. It's tough to see any team get beat this late in the year. No doubt you will be the program to beat next year. Congratulations and work hard this summer.

Your first team sounds pretty good, but both games this year one on one the Nelson girl from Jeff has out performed Fanney. She doesn't get the recognition of the other 2 guards in my opinion due to not playing on a State ranked team. I watched her tonight against East and she led her team down the stretch and hit a 3 pointer with no time left in regulation to send the game into overtime. Jeff went on to win the game and will play West friday. Congratulations to Taylor Hall on being a finalist. Great player.

You really need to get out to the games more. You're out of touch.......

It's more like the entire sports program at Jeff has become stagnated not just some players. Losing the last few years seems to have become a way of life and accepted by most in all the sports programs with the exception of ladies golf.

I couldn't agree more concerning Friday nights game with West. But, this has been true with most teams that have played West this year with the exception of South Greene. Shannon Depew did not appear to be herself against Jeff and did struggle offensively from the field but was a force under the basket. With the combinaton of Cocke struggling from the field and Jeff playing almost like a balanced team the first 3 quarters they kept the game close. As far as no Jeff players matching up with Cocke, Jeff can match them at both guard positions and did during this last game. Both Nelson and Miller should have been in the game more at the same time to utilize their speed. The Nelson girl got in foul trouble and set out several minutes and eventually fouled out but still had 18 points. I thought the Huff girl did a good job of rebounding while she was in the game. Jeff has no size and they have to try and run their opponents till their tougues drag the floor but this is never the case in my oppinion Jeff tries to slow play down and post up with much taller and more physical teams. This is only my personnel oppinion and observation as a Jeff County fan for many years...

Nicole was given the ball before the game for becoming the all time leading scorer at Greeneville during their last tournament.

Jeff County had a 14 point lead today at half time against Clinton and lost 67 to 64

With Potts and Johnson being seniors on a young team I would hope they would step up and provide the leadership needed. As for the first 3 batters on the team not being able to hit a Mack truck with a beach ball I haven't seen the other 6 positions lighting it up the last few games. It appears their present slump is a team effort from what I've observed.

Our prayers are with Sidney Goins. She is a great athelete and we hope the outcome Monday is positive.

Points are points any way you can get them wheather it be 2 or 14. Most point guards do score from fast break opportunities the last time I checked. How many ppg are the other guards in the conference averging a game? The bigger problem is until the last East game Jeff has not been scoring enough as a team. You can have the other guards we're happy with the one we have at Jeff.

Not sure I agree about Buda being any faster than the Nelson girl from Jeff. Buda seems to rest at times as does others on defense for several teams. The Nelson girl is Jeff's leading scorer somewhere around 13 to 14 ppg. She has to work on becoming more consistent. She had I believe 29 against East with 2 ot and then didn't score the next game against Cherokee.

In response to lastlaps comments, I've been to most of the Jeff games this year. If the guard didn't try to make something happen the scoring would be even less than what it presently is. The games I've attended she passes on a regular basis but everyone stands flatfooted and doesn't seem to try and execute a designed play. There are 3 starting seniors on this team and 1 or all of them need to step up and take charge of this team. I agree 1 person can't do it all it takes all five on that floor working together. I don't presently see that. Hopefully, they will get it together and turn the season around. GO LADY PATRIOTS........

I agree. A very exciting game even when the lights went out. All the girls on both teams played with a lot of heart and it's tough for either team to have to lose this type of game. The PG for Jeff stepped her game up in the 2nd half and finished strong when they needed it. Congratulations to both teams.

I spoke with 3 of the Jeff Co. players after the West game and the guards were apparently told to play back on Fanney and May to stay out of foul trouble due to their speed. The guards for West didn't beat Jeff Co. The entire team has to step up their defense to be competitive and I'm sure they will. As far as the PG for Jeff cherry picking lay ups you may want to try and attend a entire game vs only a half. All the guards to me appear to be unselfish in trying to get the ball inside to Elliott, Lyke, and Brooks. The games I have observed Jeff Co. needs some one to drive to the basket more to help open up the other players. The 3rd qtr. seems to be Jeff Co. weakest quarter and a area for improvement. They struggle coming out after half time. Let's give Coach Lewis and his staff time and opportunity to get it together. GO LADY PATRIOTS!!!
