I was at this game, which was nip-and-tuck throughout.
The first quarter was just ugly to watch. Both teams only hit 2 FG's the entire period, and ended with SV up 5-4. I was paying more attention to Valley, but they were jacking up WAY too many three's.
The second quarter was only a little better offensively. JC actually took the lead at 11-8, but Valley finished the period on a 7-0 run to lead 15-11 at the break.
Both teams then exploded (relatively speaking) in the third quarter. JC went on a 5-0 run to take their last lead of the game at 23-22, but SV outscored the Eagles 8-2 the rest of the period to take a 5 point lead into the fourth. A huge play occurred near the end of the quarter as JC attempted to hold for the last shot down by three, but SV stole the ball and made a layup just before the buzzer sounded. Potentially a 4-point swing right there.
JC opened the fourth by hitting a three to close the score to 30-28, then both teams went cold again for the next few minutes. Finally, a Wildcat 3-pointer with around 3 minutes left pushed the lead back to 5. JC scored again to trim the lead to 33-30, but the Eagles would not score after that. Valley made a great pass for a layup with about 2 minutes left, then some free throws down the stretch would ice the game.

They wont make it past the first game. 15th region is weak. Being champs of it is meaningless.

One other comment - this appeared to be a very well-officiated game. As a Valley fan, I noticed a couple calls I thought went against my team, and I'm sure the JC faithful felt the same way. But overall it was officiated well.
I don't have the final stats, but there had to be fewest fouls called for both teams that I have ever seen. I think each team only had 3 or 4 in the first half. In the second half, Valley only had I think 2 fouls overall, and JC actually didn't have ANY until about 2 minutes remained in the game. I remember thinking that they were going to have to start fouling like crazy if they wanted to put SV into the bonus. The Eagles ended up committing about 5 fouls in the span of about 5 seconds of game time. Pretty crazy, but it just showed how much the refs let the girls play all night and didn't call a bunch of touch fouls. I liked it.

What a stupid comment. Winning region is meaningless? It means you were the best team in your region, and you get a banner hung in the gym for it. It means you will be one of the last 16 girls teams left playing in the state of Kentucky. And it means the players get to experience going to Bowling Green and participating in the Sweet Sixteen.
Sounds pretty meaningful to me. :rockon:

It's ALMOST as meaningful as deriding the dreams of teenagers on an Internet message board anonymously. Almost.

I totally agree with this quip. I hope the tournament has an agreement with the Host School each year that they at least receive a portion of the gate and exorbitant concessions.
