The sixth annual eight-team tournament begins Tuesday at Trigg County.

Thanks for posting this link ... lotsa great info since I can't make it to the tourney in person! Go Lady Hornets!

The same link now has boxscores from each game.

Checking the above-mentioned page, I see where Natalie Bunch had 17 points, 8 steals, 4 rebounds and 2 steals to lead a balanced team effort for the Lady Hornets, who now need to defeat Fulton Co. to successfully defend their crown and become the first two-time winner of the event. Go Metcalfe! :thumb:

Fulton County beat Metcalfe County 45-44 for the championship. Still impressed with Coach Distefano and the Lady Hornets.

Arrrggghh ... that's a tough one for an old Hornet fan like me ...

 

Hoops is a funny game, isn't it? Metcalfe almost doubles up Heath, Fulton Co. barely edges UHA in overtime, then Fulton gets by Metcalfe while Heath doubles up UHA! Ya never know ...

 

So, Lady Hornets (now 7-3) learn from this one, and its on to the Coca-Cola Holiday Classic on the 27th ... see ya then.

 

Thanks for the props, Scribe!

I saw Metcalfe also beat Logan in the first round how did that game go? I think they beat Logan last year by 20+.

Pete,

 

I didn't get to go to that game or even listen to it on WHSX, so all I know about it is what I read on the website that The Scribe posted at the top of this thread. But there IS a full, detailed box score on that site, along with quite a bit of info about the tournament in general (including a recap) and a short writeup on every game ... a nice webpage.

 

Man, that loss is a toughie ... the Metcalfe girls need to go to Campbellsville after Christmas and storm through the draw in the Coca-Cola Classic to get back on track!

Metcalfe appeared to struggle with Fulton's speed and zone defense. I thought Metcalfe was the overwhelming favorite to win after they beat Logan County in the first round. But Fulton's speed negated the Metcalfe press. Just looked like an off day for the Lady Hornets. They should be fine for the Fourth Region All-A.

Scribe, thanks for the report. I think the Lady Hornets have a nice shot at winning the 4th Region All-A this year, though it seems really wide open. Cumberland Co. is playing well, Russellville has some talent, and Clinton and Glasgow both played Warren East very tough. Should be fun!
