Game 12 - 31st District Championship - Owen County vs. Carroll County |
|
When you look at both of these teams this year, I don't think you can find a more evenly matched up couple of teams. Their stats are almost identical. Carroll County has taken a few more wins this year, but you can throw all of that out when it's Tournament time. In one of the lowest scoring games I have ever seen, this one went to double overtime. With the score at 9-9 after one and 13-12 at the half, you would think the scoring would pick up in the second half. Not the case here. 18-17 after three quarters and tied at 21 after regulation. Here's where it got interesting. Down 3 points in the final seconds of the first overtime period, The Panthers Lindsey Wallace drains a three pointer at the buzzer to send it to a second overtime period. TheRebels took it from there, outscoring the Panthers 10-2 in the second overtime to take the 38-30 win and their second 31st district championship in a row. Both teams will advance to the 8th Region Tournament next week at South Oldham High School. The Panthers were led by Lindsey Wallace who had 12 points while Owen County was paced by Rianna Gayheart with a game leading 16 points. We wish both teams the best in the 8th Region!!! |

Dixie pushed their lead to 4 points going into the final 8 minutes of play, leading 32-28. The 4th quarter saw Dixie go 7-12 from the free throw line with a couple of key misses from Kayla Bowman late in the quarter. That accompanied by two three pointers made by Courtney Turner turned a 4 point deficit into the eventual 44-43 win for the Lady Panthers who advance to the 34th District final against the winner of St. Henry/Villa on Thursday Night.

The Greendevils came into the game with a 15-10 record while the Newport Wildcats came in with a record on the flipside, 10-15. Dayton is coming off of a huge win against the Ludlow Panthers and hopes to add to the momentum by winning in the districts. Newport looks to add to it's win total as well, capitalizing on some season ending momentum as well. Newport took a 7-5 lead into the second quarter, but then the real scoring got underway.

Gallatin County foundthemselves down 10 points in the first few minutes, but a time out and the Wildcats regained a bit of composure and had cut the lead to 8, 15-7 after the first quarter. The second quarter saw Gallatin County come alive. 4 three pointers in the period and outscoring the Panthers 20-11 gave the Wildcats a 27-26 lead going into the locker room at the half.

Game 4 - Ludlow @ Lloyd Memorial |
|
Our first broadcast under the Tri State Internet Sports moniker was on tap for Saturday afternoon as Coach Stamm brought the 8-2 Ludlow Lady Panthers to Lloyd Memorial to take on the winless Lady Juggernauts. In talking to Coach Bill Tharp before the game, he indicated that the Lady Juggernuats were a young team and lacked the varsity experience that Ludlow has. Unfortunately, that is true as the more experienced Lady Panthers took a 74-30 victory in Erlanger. Julie Hardin paced all scorers with 18 points. Catlain Ottaway added 8 for the Lady Panthers in the win. Carly Ward led Lloyd Memorial with 9 points with Brittanie Sharboro and Tawni Lockard both adding 8 points each for the Lady Juggernauts. This gave is a preview of the first round of the All "A" Classic in a week or so as both teams will face each other on 1/12/09. With the win, Ludlow goes to 9-2 on the year and Lloyd Memorial is still looking for their first win against 8 losses. We had a problem with the video at halftime, so unfortunately, we only have the first half. We know what the problem was and will correct for future video projects. Sorry for the inconvenience. |
