6:15 AM – The Fair Grove Lady Eagles simply decided they would not let their season end in a manner they were not accustomed to. The California Lady Pintos were not ready for what Fair Grove was accustomed to. The end result was a dominating 82-52 victory for Fair Grove in the class 3 third place game. Fair Grove lead by 14 after one period, 22 at the half, and it just continued to grow from there. Four Lady Eagles go for double figures with both Erin and Mollie Gavin breaking the 20 point mark. Erin had 24, Mollie 21 to go along with 14 rebounds, Kristen Link 13, and Rachel Edwards 11. No California player scored more than 9 points as they shot only 29.8% from the field for the game. A memorable finish to a memorable season for Fair Grove as they finish the year third in state with a record of 29-3. Thanks Lady Eagles. 7:15 AM – And in the early morning update, the Skyline Lady Tigers are one win away from repeating as state champions as they defeated California 63-53. Skyline held the Lady Pintos to 25% shooting in the first half in building a seven point lead, held that lead into the fourth, then pushed it out to 11 early in the period. From there, California racked up 16 fouls in the final period in trying to get back into it. But Skyline hit 19 of 30 free throws in the final period to hold them off and return to the state title game. Ashley Roberts gets 19 hitting 10 of 12 from the charity stripe, Maci Wisdom 17, and Emily Reyes 13 for the Lady Tigers. Skyline puts an area representative in each girls state title game, and will be going for their second straight state championship at 6:10 this evening against Cardinal Ritter. BOYS

CLASS 2 Spent the evening in Purdy taking in the girls first round games. Top seed Miller looked sluggish, but still defeated Greenfield handily 70-46 with Hannah Wilkerson scoring 32 points. Coach Brandon Weiss told me that on the ride to Purdy he suspected that the girls weren’t quite focused and that certainly appeared to be true. The result should serve to get them sharp for the next contest though. That will be against fourth seed College Heights who came alive in the fourth period to beat Jasper 33-29. Down by 3 early in the quarter, the Lady Cougars closed the game on a 9-2 run to punch their ticket to the next round. |
