The score was tied 10-10 after the 1st qtr. with Bagsby getting 5 for Page while Cross & Birdyshaw had 4 each for Loretto. In the 2nd score, Cross added 6 more for Loretto as Bagsby gets 3 for Page. Loretto leads at the half, 20-19. In the 3rd qtr., Bagsby gets 6 for Page while Leah Stone hit a three for Loretto as Cross was held out because of 4 fouls. Loretto maintains an one point lead after 3 qtrs., 28-27. In the 4th qtr., Bagsby had 8 more for Page while Loretto hit 12 of 16 from the line to take the win 47-44. Bagsby had a chance to tie the game with a three towards the end, but it just rimmed out. Page ended the game with 4 players with 4 fouls as Reed picked up 5 to be the only casuality. The officials called a lot of touch fouls which really slowed the game and favored Loretto as they were able to convert their FT's.

I enjoyed this game tonight. Both teams played great and Page kept Jana's scoring to a minimun. I guess it was just bad luck for Page tonight. Bagsby's 3 near the end of the game there went in and out. Those refs were just horrible tonight. I haven't seen any good ones this year. Congrats on the win Loretto and good game Page and Paige.

Thanks for coming goldenboy & wadata. I guess my Santa hat didn't work for the girls - looked like a fool for nothing. You're right that our defense did hold Cross to 12 pts., but Birdyshaw & L. Stone filled the void. Cross would have had more if she hadn't got in foul trouble. Page has got to get more outside scoring - a team has to have at least three players in double figures, as Loretto did, to be successful.

 

I'll be coming down to Hohenwald on Tuesday to see how the Lady Panthers do against Fairview. Thursday I'll be in Summertown to watch Loretto battle the Lady Eagles. I didn't get a chance to say anything to score3 last night - maybe I'll see him at Summertown. Page doesn't play until next Friday when they'll meet DCA in the Harpeth Classic at Kingston Springs.

Great game to Loretto and Page. The reason we won is balanced scoring- if one player cant score for some reason, the others are there to pick up the slack as PageMan was saying. Great game tonight to everyone.

 

PageMan, I looked for you several times, and I saw you once, but I had to go to the locker room. I will see you @Summertown. Hang in there.

Yea, score3, I saw you up there with goldenboy & wadata during the girls' game, but I couldn't get there because I was busy trying to find all the parents who get my game reports. I'll see you at Summertown.
