It's all about speed. It's very hard to beat a team that's much faster than you are! Summertown is better coached but they are slow! Fuller #24 is faster than Alvin Kamara. Huntingdon is not the best team in the state but they are I think the most talented. They didn't play well tonight but were talented enough to pull it out.

Stown didn’t look better coached tonight.  Looked like Huntingdon was ready. Don’t know he might be a better coach but he didn’t show up tonight if he is.

Huntington out rebounded S-town on both ends badly.  Also shot 16 foul shots to S-towns 2.  Would love to see this game again in 9 days

I think I recall myself saying that Huntingdon wins a lot of their games simply because they’re bigger and just out rebound the other team.... seems it happened.

Zebra, hope you had safe travels back across the river from Lawrenceburg....

Summertown was the bigger team. Our post players got pushed around the few times the ball got down low. Huntingdon was faster and out hustled Summertown. That was the difference

Summertown definitely got out hustled in the first quarter.  But if you think Summertown is 'bigger' in stature (not number of players), you weren't in Lawrenceburg last night.  Lawrenceburg, TN that is.

Your post players were 2x as big as our 125 lb 6' center and she dominated. Guess we see things a little different

Yea, our 5' 10" post players were twice as big as your 6'1" post........that makes a lot of sense.   This guy ^^^^ am I right?

Fillies are big and very quick off their feet. You don't box they are gonna get to the ball first.

Totally agree and they dominated us on the boards and put backs!  They deserved that win last night.   Hope they play again in 8 days!

Was a big honor for the Fillies to win the 6a regional. We have a lot of respect for the ball y'all play across the river. To win 6a is huge plus for our program.

Many time it was 3 freshmen and 2 seniors tallest 5"7.

Size was not the issue.  You have to pressure Huntingdon and keep them off the boards.  Summertown did not do that in the first quarter and let Huntingdon push the ball and get into their half court offense.  Huntingdon is very athletic and quick.  They were able to hold on to the lead they built in the first quarter.  Summertown's defense started to play more of their type of defense in late second quarter.  They were able to cut in the lead and have some opportunities for the win, but Huntingdon was good enough to hold on and win.   It was a good game to watch and both will be in the state next week.
