Another thing bout Jen / her great gran whom she loved dearly passed last nite  ( boy when rains it pours ) 

She didn’t look like her ribs were hurting against Clarkrange. Y’all handled their pressure really well. In fact Clarkrange struggled with your pressure quite a bit. Sorry to hear about her Great Grandad. I will be praying for her!!

I think Summertown gets it done. They are better at every position except Karli Weathers. I suspect Burdette will be the difference. Hoping Jenna is ok and that she is able to win one for great grandma. That may be her biggest motivation to heal quickly and play well.

Summertown running on fumes after playing 2 tough nosed teams / think we’re in there mind a little after 3 wins over them / should be a finals class

Y’all are 8 deep. Burlson hadn’t had that many minutes and the back up PG played well today. The other sub with the black pony tail is solid too. I think Summertown will be good. Campbell and Jones will be fine. Hope Brasier gets better.No doubt the bracket y’all had is brutal, but y’all know how to play them as much as they know how to play y’all. I think first one to 50 wins, maybe 45. This is going to be a brutal defensive war.

The big post for Summertown makes it so difficult to score inside.

 

Loretto got an early lead today with easy buckets inside.

 

I think for Loretto to win, Weathers might need to match her mom’s state tourney career high.

 

Weathers will need 35 points to win this one.

A little added bonus. These same two schools just played in the State Volleyball Championship as well. A lot of the same players from both schools play both sports. Summertown won all 7 meetings in volleyball which included District, Region, and State title. Now here we go again. Unbelievable to have two schools from same District and County playing each other for one State Title much less 2 in same year. With Summertown winning all 3 contest this year in basketball as well, I would say Loretto is more than due. And will be highly motivated! I think Summertown is the better overall team but just came through a very hard bracket. Add that to just the odds of trying to beat a good team over and over tips the scales to Loretto in my opinion. We will soon see. Either way hats off to both  schools and an amazing bunch of athletes!

Also, on the floor these two teams do don’t like each other. Off the floor many players are friends with some even growing up playing summer ball together. It’s cool and crazy all at the same time.

I see a major defensive war on the horizon. I watched Loretto and Summertown at Loretto in one of their games. Every basket Loretto made was well earned. Summertown matches up with Loretto really well. Jones and Campbell can flat out play defense. We just seen what they did to the Monday’s and they are great players. This is for the Gold Ball!! Nothing will be easy!! Baskets will be hard to come by. 40 may win this game.

Congrats to both Summertown and Loretto for making it to the Championship. Should be a great game and should come down to the last minute.
