Yes your right thought Macon may shoot bad on their first night there. I was wrong I've seen Macon play down to competition but not today.  But when it's halftime and up 24 it's easy to say then that ain't gonna happen

Hate to burst your bubble but I hadn't heard the score at the time I made the post. I've watched LA play enough this year to realize they were fortunate to just make it to this game.

UHS and Macon. For the third time.

UHS and LA in the district final. Split during the season should be a good game.

That is the boys match up. UHS vs Macon round 3 for the girls.

You're correct I put it in the wrong section.

Halfway point in district..

1- Upperman 7-0: Beat Macon by 7 in first matchup but took 30+ by Levi on 30+ FG attempts to get it done.  Don't think they are as good as last season, their schedule has been weak but they are still big dogs until someone proves otherwise.

2- Macon Co 7-1: Only loss is to Upperman, other than struggling with Dekalb for a half  they have handled everyone else pretty handily. Carter is tough matchup for anyone, deepest team in the district.

3- York Institute 4-3: Control their own destiny for 3rd.  Matchup with the top 2 teams athletically better than anyone else in the district, but have to get over the mental hurdle and believe they can play with them. When supporting  cast plays solid they are pretty decent. Smith is a handful, Conatser has shot it well and 5 freshmen play considerable minutes. But with youth they are capable of being beaten by anyone on a given night. Need consistency.

4- DeKalb Co 4-4: Young team that has played above expectation in my opinion.  Struggle with putting points up on most nights. Could end up anywhere between 4th and 6th.

5- Livingston Academy 3-4: They have a hard time scoring and are lacking consistent shooting.  They play hard and will probably remain 5th but may drop a spot before regular season ends.

6- Cannon Co 2-5: Biggest surprise in the district, I think they are the 3rd most talented team in the district but for whatever reason have under performed.  Score the ball decently, but seem to struggle on the defensive end. Still think they capable of getting to 4th.

7- Smith Co 1-6: Losing West was devastating, she is the best player they have on both ends of the floor. Moore & Shoulders will both have to play extremely well the rest of the way to get the job done.  But they play extremely hard and always have a solid game plan.

8- Watertown 1-6: Tough first season moving up to AA. Seem to compete  hard but are limited athletically and are another  team that really seems to struggle to score. Matchup with Smith this week will determine 7th and 8th in my opinion.

How does everyone else see it playing

I think Macon had their best chance so far  tonight to beat upperman.  Hopefully we could see a region final rematch

I agree interesting game last night. Interestingly officiated game Macon was in the 1 and 1 in the 1st quarter Dana hit with a sideline warning and a Tech in the 1st half. Foul count in the 1st half was 13 called fouls on UHS and 5 on Macon. Then in the 2nd half not hardly calling any fouls 3 total fouls in the 3rd quarter. These two could very well play again.

Yes, Macon had their chances to win.  Upperman's offensive rebounding leading to 2nd and 3rd shots was the difference in the game in my opinion.  Hope to see them play again in region final but Cumberland County will be a huge test for Macon, providing neither get upset in the quarterfinal games.  Macon has a legitimate shot to win against Cumberland, but will have to handle the pressure and play well.  How the game is called and how the teams adapt to the officiating will also be key.

Preach. The 2nd half of that game last night was like no blood, no foul. It was a good game that seems like the officials said, "if it is not a blatant foul, we're not calling it." It is a championship game with 2 good teams, let them decide it on the floor.
