Really don't understand why you don't make Summertown foul you when leading by 5 to 6 points with 2 mins left. Lazy cross court passes are just stupid to throw when facing a press. Alli Jones knew better than to throw those at the end of the game. Coach Lowery should have used the timeout to run a play when they had the ball at the end of the game.

SS by 10 to 15. Westview hasn't played well as of late. South Side is just too athletic for Westview. The Big question is can Westview throw it inside to the big girl early and often. If they can do that then it will be a closer game.

I don't know either. She is a great defensive player. Very surprised that she came out playing well for them after her injury. Coach Lowery got out coached and that's plain and simple. If they would have done some things different at the end it would be a different outcome.

I thought Huntingdon played very well and Summertown did not. Summertown got lucky at the end. Loretto better do something. They didn't even try to use their size advantage on us either. They have some tall girls in the post but they just didn't throw it inside.

I cant reply to your second comment on your post, but if you faceguard her then that shuts her down. We did that the whole game and had a chance to win the game. Loretto is very beatable, so no team should be intimated by their record. They don't have another go to scorer like Huntingdon GC or Greenfield. But she is just a freshmen so she will only get better.

I think Coach lowery was afraid that Reed (45) would pick up her fourth foul there in the 3rd but I have no idea why he sat her so much in the fourth. Huntingdon had some turnovers at the end that cost them and she is a ball hander that keeps the game up tempo. I am impressed on how much Reed grew her game this year, she is a proven scorer and very fun to watch. The first game tonight was definitely a good one.

She is a good player but not a great player. I have always been a fan of Chloe Moore. She should play at a SEC school in college. I know Weathers is a freshman but she has a lot to work on. Weathers wasn't flashy idk if it was the fact that we had one of the best defenders in our district on her or what. I have seen talk on by other posters and other threads that Loretto is so good and they are a great team. They are a good team but I don't see them winning the state tournament. They had a lot of defensive breakdowns and we were able to get wide open layups. Idk if they just played bad or what but I have no idea how they beat Summertown and I don't see them winning state.

Well good games at Bethel. Huntingdon should have won. The Fillies were playing like they were down 5 instead of up by 5 at the end. They kept trying to score instead of pulling the ball out and making Summertown foul them. Also Lowery had a timeout he should have called at the end. If you call a timeout and set up a play for Fuller to drive to the basket you likely win the game. Nasty injury to Reed at the end of the game. I noticed she had to be carried to the bus when the Fillies left. Really hope that she is ok. McKenzie shocked me on how well we came out and took a 10 point lead in the first quarter. I am proud of our girls on how well we played. We shut down Weathers and made other teammates score it. If McKenzie stayed aggressive at the end, we wind up winning the game. I am just very proud on how well we played tonight.

I have no idea why Weathers is a Miss basketball candidate. She has only has one move and that is dribbling behind her back and either scoring or driving to the basket. If she wins Miss Basketball that award is a joke. We basically put our best defender on her and made Loretto look for other scoring options. She only had like 3 threes two layups and a free throw. I was very impressed on how our girls played. We didn't give up and played our best game of the year. We didn't drive the basketball in the fourth quarter and it cost us. Huntingdon on the other hand should have won that basketball game. A costly turnover at the end led to game winning free throws. Coach Lowery for the fillies got out coached at the end.

All you Region 7 folks come over to Bethel Monday night to see two great games. First at 6 is the rematch of last years region title game between Huntingdon and Summertown. Next the scary one for me lol, Loretto and McKenzie at 7:30. I feel McKenzie can play with Loretto if we get a great game from Lilly Bennett and shut down Miss Basketball Finalist Weathers. IMO I think Huntingdon will beat Summertown because the Fillies will crash the boards and will not allow Summertown to shoot open threes. The Fillies must throw the ball inside to Swenson and let Kaci Fuller dictate how the flow of the game goes. Be sure you get there early to find a parking place. Don't park in the handicapped parking if you aren't disabled or you will end up on WBBJ.

Afraid we will get beat by 40 against Loretto, but our girls wont give up. McKenzie will faceguard Weathers by putting Mikayla Gill on her. Huntingdon and Summertown will be a repeat of last years region title game IMO. I think Huntingdon has a chance to knock them off if they stay out of foul trouble and get a good game from Reed.

Good Post! We had some classic football games with y'all over the years and will miss playing each other. Really wish that we played each other in basketball. Yea you will find the Mercedes and Lexus at USJ not TCA. My Aunt teaches at USJ so I would know.

We started the game really shaky, turning the ball over and missing some layups. We played much better in the second half. Perry County was a tall team and had a lot of shooters. Got to have a better start to the game if we want to win Tuesday.

McKenzie beat Perry County pretty good, margin of the score could have been worse. Heard there was a nail biter in Huntingdon between the mustangs and Wayne County. @Croppygenius Did you go to the game?

She tore her ACL twice, first time is was the right leg, and second was left I think? She was an amazing ball player and got a lot of playing time as an underclassmen. I know Gallimore a pretty decent player quit after last season as well, because she didn't like the coaching staff. The Dresden games I went to this year were different then the ones I have been to in the past. Daddy West has always had come aparts on the bench but the son who is the head coach didn't even try to coach the girls during the games. He just yelled at the girls for making mistakes. The only reason that Dresden went to state the past couple of years IMO is that they had great players. Currently you have a former player at Bethel, one at a school in Georgia, and another at Hiawassee College. Not including several others that Could and Should have played somewhere in college. I know that the son can be a great coach but this year, he just acted like he didn't coach to the best of his abilities.

Nah I already ate it! Thanks though

If the fans cheer on their team and are loud and vocal, then the team is motivated to play better. As a former high school baller, when the fans weren't behind your team then you felt disappointed.

A good season for Gleason even though they come up short tonight. The good thing is that they only lose one senior in Shelbie Burton. So this team will reload and should get further in the postseason next year.

Well we got the game moved back to Friday. Girls will play at 6 against Collinwood and boys at 7:30 against Perry County. Huntingdon- wayne county and Summertown- West Carroll play tomorrow as well. Should be an exciting four games!

Well until we get a new coaching staff, we will get the same results. They don't work on fundamentals or does our coach run our girls either. All they do is run plays!! We are so out of shape, that we just give out in the second half. It is the players and Coaches fault. Everyone had high hopes and our fan base is frustrated with the results. We have a great group of 8th grade girls coming in next year that might take some of the current starters spots. We have only had one player improve as the season has went on and that is our post Callahan. It is frustrating to watch the games and the coaches look like they don't give a crap.

GC over UC by at least 20 Peabody and Gleason goes back and forth but Gleason hits their free throws at the end to win it. Greenfield running clock The lone upset of the night. Dresden faceguards Lee and gets the W. If TCA plays zone than Dresden will knock down their threes. All 7 players can great shooters. If TCA plays man to man, then Dresden attacks the basket. Mikayla Peterson and Childress attack the basket, TCA has not faced a athletic tall post like Tinley Winn before. I will eat my crow if TCA wins.

Yea McKenzie is not beating them in the Region semis!! Go ahead and book em!

He took a job at Ole Miss for a year or two. That's why he left Westview.

Well first they attacked the basket and took it to Jones early. The past games they shyed away from attacking the basket. With him in foul trouble, it allowed Peabody to get more paint points. The players,coaches, and fans just acted like they wanted to win the game more than Humboldt did.

I love watching Childress play. Very underrated player, she has improved her game a ton this year. Maybe she will pick up some college offers next season. Or maybe she could join former lady lion Millie Bryant at Bethel
