Too close to call I predict another OT.

Definately between LA or Upperman for the championship. Cannon is not on either LA or U's level. York does not have it either. Smith is scrappy but under talented. Dekalb and Central Mag, well they try

[UCSportsFan]

I got LA vs Upperman in the Championship game with the first team to score 40 winning!

Upperman and Livingston advanced over Cannon and Smith County. Cannon started out 7-0 and 12-4 over Upperman, after a quarter. Bees got the offensive rebound late in the second quarter and converted, I think cut it to 4 at 17-13. They had 2 or 3 offensive rebounds to start the third quarter too, tied it at around 20-20 or so and from there it was close the rest of the game. In the fourth quarter a lot of things seemed to go against Cannon, officiating-wise, maybe it looked worse than it was due to Upperman having the momentum. The big things I remember were the Bees being in the lane once for a good 10-12 seconds, ball was thrown in and back out for a three I believe at the end of that sequence, and the seventh foul on Cannon which was pretty questionable compared to what had been allowed the first half. Cannon still had a chance late, down 3 when Bees missed a free throw but Upperman got the offensive rebound, yet again, and was able to close it out.

 

Livingston jumped out early on Smith, something around 19-6. They did a good job stopping the Smith guard from going to the basket, she's a good player. Smith started hitting their threes but by the half it was still around 35-18 or so. Smith continued to hit from outside, a few from way outside, but Livingston's post scoring and some threes of their own kept the lead comfortable. It got down to around 10 late. Upperman and Livingston both used their size and strength advantages in the wins.

Good night of basketball, LA/Smith Co game wasn't as close as the score sounds. (note to coach) if your down by around 20 with 3 min left and the opposing coach is kind enough to take the starters out, dont leave yours in and press. Next time you might get pressed by the starters and loose by 30. Ever thought your team may lose every year cause maybe young players have no experience?JUST SAYING!

Congrads to the Lady Wildcats on winning the Title. Both teams played great tonight. Why is it that every time that LA plays Upperman that Dana convinces the refs to add time at the end. Congrads to Abby on MVP and congrads to the other All Tournament Team. Good luck to both in the opening round of the regionals.
