I had this wrong in my prediction thread. It's a messy round robin system. But in a nutshell, Cordia lost to Whitefield Academy. Which means Bracken County and Pendleton were the only schools with 2 wins in their pool. This means the head-to-head outcome is the tiebreaker. Which of course Bracken County won tonight, advancing them to the finals. If Cordia had beat Whitefield Academy, Pendleton would be in the championship.

 

Anyways, congrats to the Polar Bears on a big win. They slowed down this high-scoring Pendleton County offense and made them grind it out in the halfcourt. Freshman Mason Monroe had a potential game-winning shot from just inside halfcourt rim out. Tough loss to swallow for the Wildcats. They take on Harrison County at 6:30 tomorrow in the 3rd place game.

Big win for Bracken Co.

 

Huge,huge win for Coach Persinger. This win alone cancels out the losses to Deming and Cordia. Now onto the championship. On the flip side, very tough loss for Pendleton County to one of their rivals, didn't Bracken County also beat them pretty good in Falmouth last year? This loss may affect them in how they play against Harrison County.

Nope The game was another close one at Bracken last year. Cooper scored 29

in the 4th quarter and went into the state record book. This close loss won't effect them against Harrison County. They bounced back after the OT loss to Brossart and will be up to the challenge against their 38th District rival. These Cats are very scrappy and resilient bunch.

But the Polar Bears do get to come to Falmouth to play the Wildcats again in a couple weeks.
