Upperman 20 JCS 20. Halftime

Upperman seems to have slow first halves at times. I'd say they'll get this one.

Lady Bees win!! On to East Nashville.

Levy was to much for Southside scoring 19 or 21. UHS played a great game minus all the TOs but Southside is known for that.

Lexie Strickland had 10 more rebounds and Gracie Maynard had 3 more threes.

Levy scored, but the difference in the game to me was Maynard, yes she shot 3-11 from three, but those threes swung the momentum of the game. And SS got out-rebounded and had 2 stretches of 3 minutes in the 3rd and 4th quarters where they didn't score. Can't do that against a team like Upperman. But great year for the Lady Hawks, and I expect them to be back next year with Miller, Transou, Taylor and Trice coming back.

Congrats east. Your turn PC!

Takes deep breath....10am game smh

That will be rough. But hey both teams have to do it.

South Side pressed very little and that is their game. Creating TO's and scoring transition points. Congrats to Upperman though. Good win.

Levy took the game over, I think the defining moment was in the 4th quarter when she broke the ankles on two of SS players and shot a layup.  That seemed to have deflated them somewhat.  Thought Upperman was the better all around team, but SS has nothing to be ashamed of.  They have a good squad and i like their inside post player she really wants to ball and can finish when she gets it!

I don't think South Side's lack of pressing was the difference in the game. The biggest issue was getting killed on the boards and the scoreless drought in the 4th quarter. Also, Levy stepped up and did enough to get the win. South Side competed with my pick to be state champions, Upperman. They have nothing to be ashamed of and have something to build off of for the years to come. South Side should be back in the years to come...
