Upcoming NW4A games (1-13-04, 1-16-04)

McDowell 64 South 51

McDowell broke the game open in the 2nd quarter to take a 17 point lead at half, however, South hung around and even got close a couple of times in the 2nd. Rebounding continues to be a problem and I hate to say it but I'm a little bit worried about the next 2 games. Time to "step it up a notch" or possibly get the feelings hurt.

GAME TIME!

 

OK 23, here's my take on South. I don't think you have much to worry about. The point guard, #4 Heather Pritchard is far and away the best player. She is a good ball handler and can score some too. Much of their offense is based on the 3-point shot so when they break your press, look for #5 Jessica Woodie and others to spot up behind the arc. They mostly ran zone defense and as always hustled alot. You guys have 3 advantages: height, depth, and quickness. What do you think? I hope you don't beat Roberson by 27 this time or I will really be worried. They have a fairly decent team, I think. Later.

 

Well, it sounds like McDowell and ACR remain on a collision course, but both have a tough test this Friday, and both on the road! If either team happens to be looking ahead to Tuesday Night they could "get their feelings hurt." It also sounds like if South is hitting from the outside they can cause a lot of problems for teams. If they play ACR a zone it could be trouble though with so many girls that shoot the 3 for Reynolds. However, if Reynolds isn't shooting well, like at Watauga it could be tough for us, except we do tend to rebound well. You say ACR has a height, and depth advantage, as well as quickness, then we will pressure them ALL night long. I am really looking forward to this game. Should be a great game, and I sure hope ACR is ready to play. Again I don't expect us to beat TCR by 27 tomorrow, out of conference, I'll take a win and just go on. TCR does have a good team! I'll be on tomorrow night with all the details of the ACR/TCR game!

 

Well, the ACR team tonight finally woke up, and just in time! After trailing most of the game, the Lady Rockets scored 5 points in the final 31 seconds to send the game into overtime. In OT the Lady Rockets looked like the team of old, and dominated the game outscoring the Lady Rams 16-5 to win 67-56. Reynolds really looked sluggish tonight and out of sync, not to mention shooting like 30% from the floor. Roberson had a 3 point halftime lead and expanded that lead to 5 after three quarters. Honestly the lead should have been more after the 3rd, because ACR only managed to score 6 points in the period. Luckily the Rockets played defense throughout the game, and held TCR to only 8 points in the period. All in all just glad this game is over, ACR might have gotten a wake up call, and maybe beating them by 27 last time had something to do with our performance tonight. Bottom line, play better Friday night or go home, upset! I think ACR will be ready! Great game by TCR, congrats go out to them. :applause:
