Bradley Bearettes

I think not-Jack had Coach Moore right where he wanted her! And that was trying to stop Tiffany who finished with 25 pts. What a perfect finish by Jackie driving the lane and score with the clock running out! The Bearettes will have a substate game. Great job ladies!!!!

Sounds like Cleveland choke when the game was on the line or when they were on the line. Shot 34% from the FT line

Does anyone have complete results like score and/or stats from the game?

54-53 BRADLEY WINS!

yes i'll say it again it was a HUGE UPSET i think it was the 1st win for the bearettes over the raiders in 4 trys. it was all buckalew had 25 points!!!! sorry i don't have full stats "sir"

[thorough97]

actually it was 7 of 17 from the line tonight from Cleveland. Buckelew had 25 for Bradley Central while Pickel had 11. Cleveland was led by Crista Burtnett's 21, while Holly Rogers added 17.

I believe that you would have to call it an upset if you look at the way that the Cleveland girls have been playing. They looked extremely strong the last part of the season while the Bearettes played very inconsistent to say the least. They missed Buckalew and her scoring and senior leadership. The way she played tonight, you would never know that she has just recovered from 3 cracked vertabrae to say nothing of the extremely sore ankle. What a performance, what heart in this young lady!

 

And what a gutsy coast-to-coast drive by Pickel to nail the winner with maybe a second left on the clock. Cleveland's missed free throws did them in (10 or 11 misses).

 

Congrats to the Lady Raiders on a superb season (25-6)! It's a shame that either team had to lose this game tonight. Cleveland will return all five starters next year so I would anticipate that they will again be among the best in the state.

 

GOOD LUCK BEARETTES THE REST OF THE WAY!!! Now go beat Cumberland County and get that sub-state game at HOME on Saturday!

The Chattanoogan website had the boxscore. Glad to hear Bradley won, nothing against Cleveland, just that a girl on the roster (not one of the top players) is from here and is a pretty good kid.

Great job Bearettes! Way to go Jackie! That was some shooting Tiffiny! I am really happy for the Bradley Girls!

[HUCK]

I don't think it was an upset. The previous two games, Buckelew wasn't in the game from start to finish. These girls are finding some chemistry after the return of Buckelew. If Bradley beats Cumberland County...then Harlow will get to play against his former player, Rachel Gobble. Bradley could indeed find themselves in the state tourney compliments of the determination of a player that pushed away injury and her collegiate career to play, hard working underclassmen, a tough and determined coaching staff, and a flawless coaching scheme. Good luck to the Bearettes the rest of the tournament.

 

BTW..the screen by Cassada when Pickel was driving to hit the lay-up that won the game was big because it caused a match-up problem...thus resulting in the win. Way to go Cassada..your becoming a factor!

Congratulations Jackie. Seems like all those hours in the gym developing your left hand paid off. I hate it for the girls from Cleveland, but I am happy for the girls from Bradley. Cleveland will have their year, next year. Hated to see McMinn go down, but they have a real stable of good looking freshmen, so they will also have their year in the future. Good Luck Bradley. Hope you make it to the state. Wonder if TnWarEagle slept any last night?

Looked like a game of TEXAS HOLD 'EM- Jack jumped up and said ALL IN-and Rachael said " why not". Jack had a FULL house-3 queens( Jackson.Cassasda,Crowe) and a pair of Aces( Pickel and Buckalew) Great Job Jack!
