11-23-04 scores...

waiting on you or Bigdan to post the schedule ...............<again>

 

If there was a game that I would suggest, it would be next Saturday (Dec 4th) here in Marion against Owen. I think they're gonna start the games about 2 pm or so. Owen has Wake Forest-bound post player, Corrine Groves. She put 30 on McDowell last year in a regular season matchup which was good enough to beat the Lady Titans in overtime. This year I'm hoping for a different outcome.

Hey, any of you Charlotte people reading this? Give us some scores for tonight's games. I was courious to see if South Meck was able to break the winning column for the first time this season against North Meck?

 

ACHS vs Hickory

Hickory 75
ACHS 36

Ick…that is all I can say about the game last night. As a believer in the power of positive words and speaking positive over situations, I believe that it will only get better for the Lady Cougars. Hickory pressed, pressured and just overwhelmed the Cougars last night in a game that was pretty much over early in the 3rd quarter. Hickory started quick, ran out to a double digit lead with pressure and fast breaks to lead 21-5 after the first. AC played tough and had some bright moments to cut it within 7 at half to be down 31-24. After that it just went down hill for the Cougars who had the same sort of trouble they had last year of not being able to get the ball up the court against a trapping ¾ press. I had a note that Hickory was up 24 with 2:00 to go in the 3rd and the quarter ended Hickory up 56-26. Finishing with a flurry Hickory ran away 75-36. I do not have any scoring for the girls from Hickory who deserve a great amount of credit for their pressure and even with several girls picking up early fouls, never backing off and staying full throttle. The Cougars, who are better than the 39 point defeat, were led by Kenya Miller again but with only 9 as well as Tekera Flowers with 9. There were 3 others with 4.
Hopefully the break will give the Lady Cougars a chance to rest and regroup and get ready for St. Stephen’s on Monday night.

Everyone have a safe and happy Thanksgiving and be careful out there!

 

South Caldwell lost to Foard by 16. Foard has avery good team but SC only scored 39 points. They will have to do better than that to compete this year.
If Barrett is not able to come back strong in a couple weeks it will be a long tough year for South

 

Now, that I'm back from a computer sabbatical..I'll keep us posted on SM scores and recaps. They have certainly been disappointing so far, but Coach Gaston will get them back on track...especially when Horowitz gets back.

 

Correction...South Caldwell lost to Foard by 14 and scored 45 points. Foard is a great team that went 29-2 last year and brought back 4 starters and key reserves from that team.

 

In Morganton last night
Freedom 50
West Caldwell 40

 

Well Watauga did not fair very good Tuesday night in Ashe Co. The Pioneers fell to the huskies by 3. Watauga looked like a new team in the 1st quarter. They sprinted out to a 21-8 lead after one. Then it looked like the Watauga from years past. Falling right into the game that Ashe wanted to play. Foul troubled plauged the Pioneers with 4 starters fouling out. Watauga is on the road again Tuesday vs. Hibriten. Maybe they can correct the problems. Watauga showed in the 1st quarter what they are capable of doing. Maybe they can get it done for four quarters from now on. Congrats to the Huskies on their first win.

 

One other thing. By looking at the scores from the West Caldwell games, maybe the Pioneers will do ok in Conference. They beat WC by 10 in a scrimmage earlier this year. Just food for thought.

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

Highcountryhoops that is a pretty good description of the Watauga game. They looked good for a quarter. Maybe they can get it together.

Does anyone know the score of the EB vs Hibriten game?
