Coming off a dominant defensive performance against a young Newport team that saw the Lady Eagles hold Newport to a single digit average pts. per qtr I believe we will see more of the same vs Calvary.

Take nothing away from Calvary Christian these girls fought hard and never quit. In the end however, the pressure and speed of the Lady Eagles was the difference maker in this game. Good Luck to the Lady Cougar's and congrats to the Lady Eagles on a great defensive performance.

 

24-0 end of first

46-2 at the half

55-4 end of 3rd

At some point CC just has to consider not playing district games. It's not helping them get better.

That is exactly the reason don't play some of our district teams.

Not sure what the answer is. On one side tougher competition makes you better and to that point last years game a was much closer. On the other side, and to your point, to many big losses can be demoralizing to a young group and hurt future participation in a program. Maybe its time for a class system in girls athletics similar to what they have in football is a possible solution?......

I don't disagree, but Calvary beat Scott as recently as 2012. It doesn't happen often though.

Yep and so how do you balance it out so that when a school has a great team they are in the hunt to win it all and yet when they don't they are not getting blown out?

If you seed, you have to play every one in your district.

Heritage Academy and Florence does not play other 33rd district teams.

In the past, there has been the option not to play the district games and take the last place seed in the district tournament. I am not sure if that has changed in recent years.

Ouch....
