HUGE WIN for Columbia Central avenging one of last year's 3 losses to South Gwinnette. I don't know if there is a better team out there on any given night as good as South Gwinnette. The Lady Lions still have alot of work to do but the win is big. Great day of basketball look forward to tomorrow night and also the Lincoln County South Gwinnette matchup tomorrow.

I thought the Tupilo Mississippii team was excellent also. Wayne Co played them hard but just too much ammo. Giles Co. better bring their A game tomorrow against Tupelo.

[PageMan]

I believe that Tupelo, MS defeated Wayne Co. by about 15 pts. according to one of the Tupelo coaches.

 

It was indeed a great day of basketball, especially the last second win by Columbia over South Gwinnett, GA. I think it was #31 LaTeria Owens who hit the winning shot for Columbia.

 

More good games scheduled for tomorrow - come out and see.

Pageman, Owens is a Soph. and remember her name. D-1 schools are already getting in line. Overall great crowds no major problems. Just some great High School ladies basketball. Looking forward to today's schedule.

I want to compliment the Rotary Club for having a great tournament and communicating what is happening with scores and concession facts. How you got this fine group of teams is amazing? it is a very good tournament.

 

maybe what is more amazing is how you got Pageman, well known CoachT stats man and widely traveled sports personality, associated with your promotion. He is well known throughout Tennessee for his factual and no frills reporting and a lot of people look for his posts. If he says its good, its got to be good.

 

Again, this tournament and sponsership is great for your community and We hope you continue this project.

GO REBELS!!!!!!!!!

Obion won and played very good. I'm sure the game will be posted.

 

From a Siegel fan, congrats to a fine Loretto team for beating the Stars. It was a hard fought ugly game frought with many turnovers and fouls and neither team left anything undone. Miss Cross met her billing and while I am sure she may not met her average but she is a great player. Best of luck the rest of the year.i

[PageMan]

I believe most of the scores are on the coacht scoreboard now, but just in case, Obion Co. 67, Antioch 55.

 

I put some selected game reports up shortly.

Want to send out get well wishes to Columbia's Carol Lampley. She hurt a knee tonight against Brentwood Academy. She had 16 pts when she got hurt(3rd quarter). Get well soon Carol!!!!!!!!!!!

Team Stats:

 

Rebounds: Loretto 33, Siegel 30

Assists: Loretto 9, Siegel 10

Free Throws: Loretto 21 of 29 (72.4%), Siegel 13 of 24 (54.2%)

Fouls: Loretto 24, Siegel 25

 

As PHargis stated, it was an ugly game with too many turnovers by both teams and a total of 49 fouls called. Jana Cross did well for Loretto and Tikedra Jones did well for Siegel. Towards the end of the game, it became a free throw shooting contest as Loretto hit 10 of 14 FT's in the 4th qtr. while Siegel hit 10 of 16. I thought this game would have higher scoring, but players on both teams did not score their usual average I guess.
