Houston County could take Moore County in the finals if they make it. I honestly believe it would be a great game to watch, but also Houston County would have to show up ready to play. Here are my reasons I think HC could win against MC.
1) Moore County has their post as their top player, while she is good- HC has a 6"+ Freshman post that plays as if she is a senior when it comes to knowing the game. The MC post may get some points underneath, put I expect them to be limited or when the HC Freshman is sitting out. Even from the 3 she will be heavily guarded.
2)HC has 3 point shooters who can hit lights out if its the right day
3)HC has a great defense from all 5 players, MC will have to take a lot of contested shots
BUT, like I said that is if HC makes it to the finals and shows up. I mention the HC freshman having basketball knowledge, BUT if MC gets under her skin like NC did.... HC will have problems. It was evident that her anger got the best of her in the district championship and HC suffered a few plays from it. She does not foul much but I believe she got 4 in the champ. and most were near the end.
Plus, in all honesty I know that MC players and fans have a way of getting under your skin. I watched the MC & HC regional game last year as a fan and MC got under my skin. However, that is part of the rivalry from the 2 districts.
If that game does end up becoming the regional championship, I would love to come watch and see a great fierce game.
