Is there anybody out there?

 

McDowell defeated TC Roberson 73-39. Really there was ugly play on both sides. McDowell shot horrible in the first half (less than 35 percent) but made up for it with a 53 percent effort in the 2nd half. Emily Lovik lead with 18 points, Leah Smith added 16. Aimee Kiser and Kelsea Greene both had 10 points. You could tell the Lady Titans were playing the back end of consecutive games in consecutive nights, they just were far from sharp when it comes to shooting, passing the ball and other things. Level of competition goes up some when they play Owen on Saturday, 3 pm.

McDowell beat Owen this afternoon by 18, I believe the score was 76-58. Anna Atkinson had 15 points, 10 rebounds, 9 asissts...one away from another triple-double. Basically it was a story of two really good and tall players (Corrine Groves and #23 from Owen) verses about 6 or 7 really good athletic players. Groves had 26 points and 13 rebounds. McDowell played a packed in zone the entire game and made Groves work for every basket she made. Owen started hot from outside but cooled off which gave McDowell the chance to run the floor and build their lead.

 

Here was my previous rundown of Owen and what I thought about them playing McDowell.....

"From what I saw from Owen, they do have a couple of big girls, one being Corrine Groves. We pressed them and they honestly handled it GREAT and actually scored off our press ALOT. I wish we had got out of the press earlier. They pass the ball well, and then get it to Corrine for the lay up or short jumper, and it really hurt us. When we didn't press them, they had a few more problems. I just think we fell in love with the press and didn't have a lot of success with it. Their half court game especially their outside game wasn't up to ours and that is why we beat them. I don't think they will really challenge McDowell, keep in mind we beat them up there, without our 2nd leading scorer (Worley). So I think McDowell will handle them when you factor in that McDowell is just better than ACR, they have the revenge factor, and they are playing at home. Really I see the Lady Titans winning by double digits.....15-20."


Looks like I hit it perfect! Congrats McDowell!

 

get to see those Titans in rutherford county on Tuesday though

 

CFBall,

I heard on the radio leaving Marion today that the game at East, Tuesday, will start early, around 6:00 p.m. I don't know why? East was ranked in the first Sweet 16 (#8 I believe) and supposedly has a player being recruited. Well, they better be ready to go, or it will get ugly! McDowell has 5 starters who can put it in the basket, and a couple of nice subs, too. Keep them healthy! I will see you there if you go? :huh:

 

the point and 2 guard are being looked at..........forget their names though and yeah the game is at East. i have lessons to be rescheduled
thanks for those informative articles you forwarded earlier too!!!

see you there!
