Final in the Pickerington Central Shoot-Out. Sydney Moss had 23 for the Lady Rebels and Stacie Shrout continued her hot 3-point shooting. The game was close at halftime but the Boone County pressure created a ton of turnovers and the Lady Rebels put the game out of reach by the end of the third quarter.

 

Ally Malott, No. 40 on the ESPN Top 100 2011 list and a member of this summer's USA 18-U team, was the standout for Madison and did all she could to hold her team in the game. Not sure of her point total but she hit several 3's after a slow start from beyond the line. The battle between Moss and Malott was an interesting one! :thumb:

 

Overall a solid team effort for Boone County who ran their win streak to eight.

Nice win!

What is Boone's schedule this week?

Ally is a heck of a player and pretty much deals with the same thing Tibbs does with guard-play when pressured. It would have been nice to have seen BC matched up with a big division team as opposed to the small school division...I'm sure it was due to the press of these 2 high-profile players.

Very true, except much of the time Ally actually brings the ball up the floor. She has a very good handle for her size. Her only difficulty is in stopping. There were occasions last night where it was one-on-one in the open floor between Malott and Moss. Moss ended the 1st quarter by backing the 6-3 Malott below the free throw line and hitting a turnaround, generally showed a better handle, and often dished to teammates for goals when help defense showed up. Malott hit several 3's against Moss by using screens as Madison ran a lot of sets for her. She is a tough guard for anyone because she is constantly in motion and has such a quick release. Overall a good battle well worth the price of admission!

 

There definitely were stronger Ohio teams there than Madison but I suspect the match-up of the two M's was a key in Boone and Madison being matched. It was nice to see Ally's family again (she and Sydney played together for the Cincinnati Heat for a couple years). They are such nice people!

Great family! My Daughter had the luxury of playing with Ally for a couple of seasons and with both of these great players for one summer...fun times!

 

I'm confident Ally would be headed to UCONN if she would have been comfortable away from home.
