The BRADFORD girls are a great team. They possess the inside and outside game that is needed to make it to the state tourney. It helps that Paschall has Eddings on the bench to help him to propel the girls to the next level. I WILL PUT THEM UP AGAINST ANYBODY IN THE STATE!!!!! Go girls i will be rooting for you on your quest

I have to tell the rest of the state that I have seen first hand 5 times what Union City can do. They are the real deal. The game tomorrow between UC and Manassas will be a great game. I am rooting for Union City to bring the Gold Ball back to 14A. They are like the energizer bunny-- they keep going. Their pressure is UNBELIEVABLE. Shane has done a great job with this team. I would love to see the game because The Murphy Center will be rocking for this matchup. Go UC and good luck boys.

Yes I agree too. They all had stretches of "why did they do that" play. But you have to also understand that these are high school kids and they are trying their best out there. I did not see much of a press from CR yesterday. They had better be able to block out Bradford tomorrow or it will be a long afternoon for CR. Their hands are full tomorrow and Bradford is hungry. This is going to be a great matchup and I cannot wait to get there and watch Bradford advance to the championship game. BTW, I do not have excuses if CR wins... I do not need excuses to justify my opinion!!!! GO LADY RED DEVILS. WE WILL BE THERE CLAD IN OUR RED AND CHEERING OUR HEARTS OUT FOR YOU!!!!

The depth perception is why a lot of shots were missed the first day. It takes a little to get comfortable shooting to a basket that is wide open behind it. The shooting Friday will surely improve. I cannot wait to get up there and watch the games. Go Red Devils!!!

There are no such thing as "jitters" this late in the year. After playing over 30 games all ready this year, every team is prepared. The competition is stiffer at state and you have to be able to handle the pressure. Yes we put a lot of pressure on the kids today to perform up to our standards but the 4 teams left have my respect. They are all good teams and deserve to be where they are. I have to tell you that Bradford did not have their best day and they still won. So by your reasoning, Day 2 should be very good and D14A will be playing on Saturday.

I did not get to see Wayne County in A but i did get to see the other 3 games. I was really impressed with the overall inside and outside presence of Bradford. I did not see that combination from any other team that won in A. Jackson County looked pretty good and Clarkrange was a tough one to figure out. Clarkrange has two tall players who are good and some outside shooting that was pretty good. BUT, I think that Clarkrange is going to have a hard time with Bradford's press and inside ability. Bradford can run 5 different players on the block and they are very physical when they get the ball inside. I have seen a lot of Bradford games this year and it was amazing to see how the girls inside have stepped up their play to help out Danielle and Jenny. I think the game between Bradford and Clarkrange is going to be very interesting and it will be a hard faught contest. If Bradford hits the boards like they did yesterday then it might make for a long day for Clarkrange. I see this game being between 3-5 points either way. I have to pull for Bradford in this one. Keep it rolling Lady Devils.
