I thought it was a good game at Oliver Springs. The Chargettes came out and doubled Hall at every turn. That pressure allowed McMinn to grab an early lead, but if you're going to pressure Hall then you're going to commit fouls. Hall is so quick that she causes a lot of holding and blocking fouls from players not being able to keep up and that happened tonight. OS stayed in the game in the first half by hitting 13-18 free throws while McMinn was 6-11.

The second half became more of a half court game (I don't think McMinn could keep getting fouls if they pressed) and that favored OS. The game was close throughout but OS was able to grab the lead early in the fourth quarter and then they hit 16-18 free throws in the quarter to preserve the win.

I was impressed with Mullinax from McMinn. I had her with 19 points, 18 boards, 5 blocks and 4 steals. Hall finished with 29 points, 8 boards and 8 steals while Jessie Hackworth had 18 points and 14 boards.

She scored 9 in the first half and 10 in the second, but her last basket from the field came with 5:23 left in the third quarter and that gave McMinn a 40-35 lead. After that, OS and Casee Wampler in particular did a great job of denying her the ball and when she did get the ball she did not have any easy shots. Mullinax did hit some free throws late that added to her total, but OS had the game wrapped up by then.

OS sent a loud message last night in defeating A McMinn Central team that was considered one of the top 5 teams in the entire state regardless of classification.

 

Even though OS has lost four games, the Lady Cat's schedule has seen some of the best teams/players in the state. With wins over Giles County ( AA state runnerup last year), Clarkrange( top 3 team in A), and the win over McMinn Central. Losses to top notch AA programs Jackson County ( 3 time defending AA champs) and Livingston Academy were on each school's home court.

 

Coach Wright has done an amazing job of pitting the Lady Cats against the best compeition in preperation for tourney time. This will pay huge divedends come late Feb/March. Teams like Jackson County, Livingston Academy, Giles County, Upperman, and McMinn Central have always done the same, now come tourney time OS will be battle tested/prepared when it faces top notch competition this year.

 

Great win last night!!!!!!!!!!!

way to go oliver springs. You guys were ready for us from the tip off. McMinn Central did not come out to play like they have previously. Also great job Laura Hall. You are a great player, double team didn't do anything to you. I think you are the best guard in the state. You really opened up the Chargerettes eyes. You guys play them again on their last home game (senior night) good luck to you guys in the future. Again, congradulations, you all played great.

      I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"

      2024 Mustangs

      Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!

      Way too early 1A favorites 2024

      I would not put too much stock into the UH over Eagleville. From what I understand they were pretty banged up in that tourney. Catcher was out, they were throwing pretty deep in their bullpen and a few key players were beat up in their infield. Sounds like they are pretty healthy heading into the district tournament. Look at their schedule, they played some really good teams.
