Melrose Defeats White Station in 16-AAA Championship

[orangemoundwest]

Anybody got the scores from the Gtwn - Overton consolation games:

 

Overton beat down Germantown 104-77. So Melrose will play Germantown and White Station plays Overton in the 1st round of the region.

I'll say this about the Southwind/Ridgeway game. This will be the first game where both teams are 100 percent. From my last observation J3 and Walter Davis did a tremendous job on Tarik Black offensively and defensively. I heard the refs were letting the guys play more so I think this game will get very physical and even though Black has a size advantages Davis and J3 both have the balls to go toe to toe with him. The one problem Southwind must avoid is letting Ridgeway get on that run that gives them a comfy lead. The past two games Southwind has played 3 effecienct quarters, controlling the game, but Ridgeway, with its experience and talent, always finds a way to snatch victory from the Jags. I believe Southwind is a little hotter than Ridgeway right now, but who knows!

 

P.S. White Station vs. Germantown could be a very difficult game to predict. The Red Devils match up perfectly with the Spartans.

Whitestation does not play Germantown, Melrose will play Germantown.... Whitestation plays Overton.

My bad. Well I expect easy games for both Melrose and White Station then.

Final score, details.....anybody??

Ridgeway blew out Southwind tonight from all accounts. I don't know exactly what happened, but two things are clear. Ridgeway showed up and Southwind didn't, and Ridgeway is to Southwind, what Ridgeway was to White Station 2 years ago.

Wow.

 

While I expected RW to win (and would not have been surprised about a SW victory), I absolutely did not expect a blow out!

------------------------------------

 

Southwind is going to have its hands full with Central. SW absolutely MUST constantly push, push, push......they must force the pace (uptempo) of that game!!!!! Otherwise, Central is going to frustrate and lull SW to sleep, then sneak out of there with a low-scoring "W."

 

Ridgeway should have fewer problems with East's loosey-goosey, perimeter-oriented team.

Well I believe this was Corieon's 1st time playing against southwind as well this year since the injury... He didn't light up the scorebook but ran a very efficient show, leadership and scored when it was there!

I think the final was 77 - 58

Ridgeway had their way with Southwind all night. They really broke the game open when Black went to the bench close to the end of the 3rd and Ridgeway shot countless uncontested lay ups. J3 was a non factor. To sum the game up....Like the old saying goes you live and die by the three. When your team is hitting you look great but when you're missing, and the opposing team is shooting lay ups on the other end you look terrible...

The coach for Southwind never allowed his team to get in to a rhythm.....it's nice to be able to sub 5 players.....but substituting to much can hurt you as well. Southwind Has a very good team but #22 he came off of the bench tonight and #11 are a very vital part of that team and they play well together.

I so agree with that...It's crunch time now. Go with your best 7 or 8 and play. If J3 is not in foul trouble, he shouldn't see the bench. Especially if Black is on the bench
