I think the Championship game was played today between South Side and Upperman. I'm taking SS by 15+ on this one.

Haven't got to watch Southside play but I'm assuming they are very good on the defensive end of the floor.

Upperman had difficulty getting the ball to their post. If Elizabethton, which has more height than Upperman, can develop an inside game, it may take some of the pressure off of their outside shooters. Upperman seldom had an open look past the three-point line.

Betsy's Lina Lyon, compares favorably with Jala Cobb.

I'm inclined to go with South Side, but I think the game will be closer than others have posted in this forum. Checking the Coach T scoreboard, Elizabethton lost to Westview by three points early in the season.

SS by three points.

WV also had their worst shooting percentage game of the year against Elizabethton in that game and they have lost only 8 games in the last 4 years. I think Elizabethton is good, but SS is probably 6-8 points better than WV "this" year on most nights. Should be a good game and 4 quarters of swarm defense by SS.

I hope you’re right, but Elizabethton is a very good team

Betsy let Dburg hang around too long on Tuesday. I think they have the talent to knock off SS but I couldn't understand why they couldn't slam the door shut. Chucking up 3s with 4 minutes to go and double digit lead, overly aggressive in final quarter with unnecessary fouls, etc. If they can play a more disciplined game and work inside, I think they win by 3. They try that same stuff that they did Tuesday it will be SS by 15.
