TMSAA Area at Charlotte

[Mr.Clutch]

Just to inform everyone last night of the games at Charlotte Middle School.

 

GIRLS

 

#1 Cheatham Girls destroyed Houston County Girls. Very one-sided. Enough said.

 

Charlotte Girls beat Harpeth girls.

 

BOYS

 

#1 Harpeth beat #4 Waverly in a one sided game in the first semifinal game. Didn't get to see much of it, so not much detail.

 

# 3 Cheatham beat # 2 Houston County in probably one of the best, if not the best middle school basketball game I have experienced. The first half it was close and Cheatham led by six at the half. In the second half, Cheatham jumped out to a fifteen point lead, but Houston Co. decided to step up and came back to make it a seven point game going into the fourth quarter.

Then, it was back and forth and Houston Co. scored with about 11 seconds left to tie the game. Cheatham had a chance to win at the end, but missed a 15 ft. shot. That sent the game into OT where it was back and forth the entire way. Cheatham missed a shot and fouled Ethan Dillard, which is going to be a very good basketball player one day, which sent him to the line with 7.4 to go. Dillard hit both foul shots to put Houston Co. up one. Cheatham called timeout with 5.4 to go.

Cheatham brought the ball in and got the ball to Terrance Scott, who is the best player in the district hands-down. With Dillard guarding him, Scott took a tough 14 ft. shot and nailed it to win it for Cheatham.

For those in attendance, you definitely got your money's worth. The two teams could possibly play in the Semis of the state next week.

 

Houston Co. will play Waverly for third place. 5:00

Cheatham will play Harpeth for the Area Championship at 8:00 Saturday
