12A district championship.

These two teams split during the season. Both teams winning at home.

Since the game is played in Linden, the advantage goes to perry county, but never count out s,town and coach willard.

 

Pc over Stown by 2

[Hoopngal]

I have to say Summertown, not because they have a better team, but because PC has a history of falling apart at tournament time. They also have some internal conflicts on the team with the assistant coach being asked to quit. Hope this doesn't affect their game, but we will have to watch and see. Good luck Lady Vikings!

Go Eagles! Summertown by 10. Since PC beat WC all of the WC fans will be backing Phil!!!

Didn't Summertown beat Wayne Co twice??? Why would you pull for them?

[natalie#25]

I think that Summertown will win in a very close game. They are playing some really good basketball right now and are going to be hard to beat. I do expect Edney to go off the wall though. She has been contained the past 3 or 4 games and I think she will have a big night. I also expect them to try and contain Weatherly because she has been killing everyone that she has played against here lately. Perry County has a whole lot of talent (some of the best Sophomores in the state) but Summertown (who was expected by most people to finish fourth or below) has won the Season crown and I think they would want nothing more than to win the Tournament too. You also have to look at Perry County. They led the District as the #1 team throughout the entire season until the last game when Summertown beat Wayne County. They would want nothing more than to take back that glory by winning the Tournament. There is no telling really, but I think that as good as Summertown is playing right now, they will win in a cat fight.

Because MIKER, no one from WC likes PC. And Coach Phil's wife teaches in the Boro. :justwrestle:

wildcats101 could there be a little jealousy? Maybe....???

 

I think the game will be real intense. Both teams will be well prepared because they both have real good coaches. Perry County is depending on their sophmores once again. Can they take the pressure since they are so young? Summertown will have to depend on their good defense if they want to win. I will say PC by 2 (only if their sophmores can take the pressure and the rest of their players play to their potential)

[wildcats101]

Not jealousy, but hostility. Not many people from WC have gotten over the way that PC acted last year at the districts. You know PC cutting couches in the locker room, their superintendent and ex-assistant coach trying to fight with an 11 year old kid. Talk about classy. But, most Rhodes are that way, I hate that Joe got mixed up with them. Maybe he'll be able to find a job elsewhere since they were nice enough not to fire him.

Summertown by 5..

[ptguard12]

District 12A MVP, Megan Corbin (according to my sources), will have to prove why she deserves this award in what is sure to be a dogfight Thursday night. Look for her to perform well as usual, but she'll need help from Lovett, Franks, and Scott to pull off the win. Perry Co. will have homecourt advantage which is huge at this point. The super sophomores will have to play well, which means:

 

1. Rhodes will have to take care of the ball. She has turned the ball over alot as of late.

2. Edney has got to take (and make) the outside shots.

3. Weatherly has got to keep her temper under control and stay out of foul trouble.

 

If those 3 can play to their potential and both Elkins and Gladden can contribute their usual 7 - 10+ ppg, look for the Lady Vikings to take their first district championship in a long, long time. All in all, it should be another great 12A tournament game, and despite the outcome of this game, this has been one great tournament.

Perry Co on top by 4.

[ptguard]

both stown and pc are very good teams and very well coached. good luck to them both. this will be the first dist. tourney championship in a long time for either squad as Wayne Co. has won the last 10 consecutive dist. tourneys. before this year, wc's last dist. tourney loss was in 1993 when they were undefeated and upset by the stown eaglettes in the finals. once again, good luck to both teams. hope it is as great a game as everyone is expecting!
