Elizabethton defeated Science Hill 68-53

Could Elizabethton be looking at a second State Championship? They looked little sloppy tonight, missed 15 or more free throws. Still beat 6A Science Hill by 11. SH looks a little down this year. I bet they get a the opportunity to improve their cardiovascular health when Coach Dugger gets through running them this week. No sense in that.

They looked pretty good for second game of the year.  So are you sure they missed 15 foul shots.  Because they won by 15 not 11.  Even in Elizabethton 68-53 is 15 lol

Science Hill is 3a. There are only 3 classes in basketball.

Games between these two schools are good for both programs.  It is a shame that Elizabethton wouldn't play Science Hill when they were at their best.  It would have been great for Northeast TN girls basketball.

Uncharacteristically, EHS was 13-27 from the line last night.

 

The reason the girls didn't play SH when they were "at their best" is because the previous boys coaches didn't want to play. The AD would not schedule SH because of this. If you remember, the series was renewed last year when the SH girls were very good (likely would have made the state finals had the incident with Tartar not occurred).

We have heard for years that the reason they did not play was only because of the boys coach but deep down we all know that this is not the only reason.  The girls had opportunities to play each other at neutral sites on a couple of occassions and the only reason it didn't happen was due to Elizabethton not wanting to play Science Hill.  These situations were girls only Hall of Fame games and Thanksgiving Classic at Happy Valley so the boys not wanting to play was not a factor.  As I stated earlier, it is a shame the fans did not get to see these two programs play every year.

Sorry 14 free throws missed not 15 and Elizabethton won by 15 not 11 and Elizabethton has 813 students to Science Hill 2207. Have never heard a larger school crying about a smaller school not wanting to play them. The two teams did play just last year. I went to the game and Elizabethton lost 60-37. What are you talking about? They are set to play again Feb 6.

No crying.  Just trying to make a point about why 2 of the best programs in NET over the last several years would not be playing each other at least once every year.  Everyone benefits from two good teams playing on a regular basis but not when there is a 6 year gap between games.

Whatever reason they didn't play for 6 years is irrelevant, its water under the bridge. They are playing NOW.

Elizabethton is the real deal. I smell a repeat!
