12AA Tournament

[mainpoint]

It all cranks up tonight. Lewis is the clear favorite here, but HC is still the defending district tournament champs from 2010. It's been an up and down season for the Lady Dawgs with a lot of freshmen seeing significant playing time and roles. They played well last week with a win over East Hickman and a close loss to Perry County, so hopefully that springboards them into the tourney. The big question is how will these new faces respond in pressure situations? I'm sure Barrett's old buddy Judkins will have some tricks up his rolled up sleeves tonight for the Lady Dawgs. Should be a good one in the 'burg. I'm predicting a close win here for Barrett's Brigade. Any other thoughts and predictions from the other games?

You were right. Much closer in the 'burg than the final score indicates .... HC 54 MC 41. As far as the freshman go, Hannah Pendergrass dropped 25 and Ginger Conder defended Harwell in excellent fashion. Harwell had 23 but not one 3-point field goal which in and of itself is a remarkable accomplishment for a freshman guarding a seasoned Senior veteran. I think that goes without saying how they responded in that pressured situation. In addition to Hannah and Ginger, Barrett has 3 other talented freshman which bodes well for the Lady Dawg future. HCHS Lady Dawgs now take on Lewis Co on Friday afternoon at 4. Certainly ought to be an interesting matchup especially considering the fact that "Barrett's Brigade" will be playing on their home floor. They will need all the advantages they can get if they have hopes of winning over the Lady Panthers who swept HCHS during the regular season. As most folks know, anything can happen in the post-season. I dare say there is more parody in District 12AA girls division than any district around. Would not be huge surprise to see any of the teams left (Page, Fairview, Lewis or Hickman) take the crown at weeks end. Only time will tell.
