Well it's been a continuing theme with every team that lost a close one in this tourney, and it's no different tonight.......Murray with WAY TOO MANY turnovers and missed point blank gimmes.

 

Congrats to Mercer Co. on a very well played game.......these girls played some serious pressure "D".

..........and the Titans can flat out shoot.

Congrats to this young yet very experienced team. Mercer in the championship in year 3 of this great run. Congrats and Good Luck

Mercer Co.

Mercer has the experience and talent to possible win this thing. But gotta play one more. Murray can hold their head high.

Wow. Nothing against Mercer, but after knocking out the defending state champs, Murray seemed like a team poised to win it all.

Just learned there aren't any colleges looking into Turley -- HUGE miss by everyone!! That kid can play and is crazy tough/competitive!! She has had a fantastic tourney and certainly a BLOW OUT game against Butler. I'm a fan.

Titans experience helped them out tremendously tonight when Murray tied it up at 49, with 5 minutes left. They remained poised and continued to trust their game plan. They made some pressure packed free throws from 2:30 left until Murray conceded with :20 on the clock. I think they went 1 of 2 twice and 2 for 2 three or four times. The big games this year and the last 2 years, these girls played in, have served them well.

Credit to coach Souder for scheduling these though games!

 

Very excited for these girls and hope to see them achieve this dream tomorrow afternoon!

 

Congratulations to Murray and their fans! They played an outstanding game tonight, and if not for some very untimely turnovers they could have very easily pulled this one out!

 

GO TITANS!!!!

They are missing out. She is a junior so she she still has a year left.

I was told tonight that SEMO, UT-Martin, & NKU are showing interest in Ms. Turley.

 

....and I TOTALLY agree on your description of her, been seeing the young lady play the last 3 years at the All A State tourney & the last two Sweet Sixteen's, BIGTIME fan.
