In the 4th qtr, Page outscored LC, 17-14, as Ford had 4 (1 three, 1 of 2 FT's), Bowling had 4 (2 of 2 FT's), Crowell had 4, Mills had 2, Morton hit 2 FT's, and Underwood hit 1 of 2 FT's while LC's Tibbs had 5 (3 of 5 FT's), Anderson had 4 (2 of 2 FT's), McKinney had 3 (1 of 2 FT's), and Jessica Hinson hit 2 FT's as Lewis Co. won 61-54 and advances to the championship game on Tuesday night against Marshall Co. who won earlier over Spring Hill, 61-52. Page will play Spring Hill for 3rd place preceding the championship game.

 

The keys to the win for Lewis Co. were their advantage at the FT line, they hit more threes, and had a slight advantage in rebounds and assists. Page had a well-balanced attack with 4 players in double figures, but had too many turnovers.

The officiating certainly favored Lewis Co. as they were able to draw touch fouls if Page even got close to them while Page had several turnovers where no foul was called on Lewis Co.

This was a classic game, with Page never quite going away no matter how it looked. I was really impressed by how the girls from Page stepped it up through the postseason to get to the game. If someone overlooks them, they could be in for a region upset.

Thanks, hunt4. The turning point in this game was the 2nd qtr where Lewis Co. outscored Page, 23-12, as the Lady Panthers hit 2 threes and 11 of 12 FT's to put them up by 9 points at the half. Page had 3 players with 3 fouls at the half and eventually lost 2 players to fouls and had 2 others with 4 fouls. Lewis was never in foul trouble the whole game with only 3 players with 3 fouls at the end.

 

Here's how the region matchups look. 10-AA Marshall Co. and Lewis Co. will host either FRA or CPA on Friday, Feb. 23 in the "Satellite" game which is also the regional quarter-finals. 9-AA David Lipscomb and Ezell-Harding will host either Page or Spring Hill. The exact match-ups will be determined by the district championship and consolation games played next week. Should be some interesting games.
