Scores from 2/6.....

I am starting this thread hoping someone will post some scores and details when the games are over tonight!

 

mcdowell-south caldwell

the lady titans had a pretty easy game at south caldwell winning 55-39

 

WOW, congrats to them on the great win down at South! Next week is a big week for both McDowell and ACR, should be fun!

 

McDowell looked sharp tonight and played with a sense of urgency that was great to see. They stepped up the defense and Kiser had another strong game. They ran a good little delay about the last 3-4 minutes. Anna was back to her old self driving and shooting. Lovik, Brown, and Smith played well also. Revis had some good minutes. Great game! Just get one more and let's have a good old-fashioned showdown.

 

it was a great game tonight for both South Caldwell and McDowell. But I am neutral and I just enjoy good high school basketball. I have seen both teams play many times through the years. But tonight I lost ALOT of respect for McDowell. I saw alot of things I normally don't see out of them tonight. But all in all a great game for both teams. Good Luck the rest of the way.

 

Like what?

 

congrats to the Lady Titans on the win tonight. I heard on the radio that Atkinson had 17 of her 19 points in the first half. She was being more aggressive going to the hoop, at least initially. We are gonna need more of that come playoff time.

sportsfan04, what exactly did McDowell do that you didn't like? Coach Silver was interviewed during halftime of the boys game, and he was not satisified with some of the officiating, infact I hear he got a Technical Foul...something must have been wrong for Mike to get a Technical Foul.

Anyways, I've been keeping up on what's going on down in Charlotte. Check out the thread with the potential state playoff brackets, I will be updating it in a couple minutes. There ave been some changes in the last week to 10 days...

 

bigdan, Silver became aggravated early when Lovik was knocked flat on a screen. She was not looking and the pick by South looked legal except for the double forearm shiver that sent her sprawling. It looked like a football block. There were several other hard fouls and some pushing and elbowing but I thought South was guilty of this more than McDowell.

Then, late in the 4th with the game out of reach, Lovik again tried to make a cut on offense and was pushed blatantly off her cut and she responded with a 2-handed pushoff. The refs called a double foul and Silver proceeded to get a technical. He was just taking up for his player in both cases. There were a couple of other nitpicky calls the refs messed up so he was pretty much on them the whole game.

Now, all that said, I think it is fantastic McDowell went into that tough gym where South is known to play hard and physical, and not only matched but exceeded the toughness displayed by South. Thus, they controlled the game and won easily. They should be extremely proud of the effort and it was CLEAN! Keep playing hard.

I find it hard to believe sportsfan is neutral.

 

Listen I'm not trying to take up for South Caldwell. I just saw some things out of the McDowell players I have never seen before. Such as unnecessary language. I'm not saying that South Caldwell didn't have there far share of it. But I also didn't see it like I did with the McDowell players. I am not taking anything away from their win. They played a great game and wish them the best of luck in the future.

 

I hope your right

I didn't get to go to the game tonight but i hope your right and mcdowell did show some aggressiveness. We have been lacking some of that this year and now is the time to show it with the two big games coming up next week. They can't let the rockets push them around on their home floor and maybe what you saw tonight is a priview of what to expect next week.
