Middleton (15-7, 7-2) at Madison (17-8, 8-2) (Girls)
Last meeting: Middleton won 63-46
Players to watch: Middleton guard Averyale Joy; Madison
guard Cayla Sheets
What to know: This is the second of two tough games this
week for the Lady Tigers. Middleton won easily at home in the first meeting,
but the Lady Tigers won’t count on that to happen again. After losing Tuesday,
Middleton will be hungry for a win to stay in the title race. Madison is still
in the running for the No. 1 seed along with Scotts Hill. Madison wasn’t happy
with the way it played in the first meeting and revenge will be on their minds
in this one.
Chester County (16-7, 9-2) at Bolivar (16-5, 10-1)
(Girls)
Last meeting: Bolivar won 66-65
Players to watch: Chester County guard Tamacha Couch;
Bolivar guard Tionne Herron
What to know: The first meeting was extremely close in
Henderson, but now the game is in Bolivar, where the Lady Tigers have a
definite advantage. Chester County beat McNairy Central on Friday to stay in
the title race and with a win here everything will be up in the air. The
Eaglettes play tough defense, and the Lady Tigers will have to rely on their
guards to break through the press.
Huntingdon (19-4, 12-2) at Gleason (18-5, 12-2) (Girls)
Last meeting: Huntingdon won 40-30
Players to watch: Huntingdon guard Allee Maxwell; Gleason
guard Jaclyn Montgomery
What to know: Since Gleason fell to Dresden on Tuesday,
three teams are tied atop the District 13-A standings. Huntingdon, Dresden and
Gleason are 12-2 in district play. The loser of this game is looking at the No.
3 spot in the district tournament. The winner is in a tie with Dresden for the
top spot. Huntingdon still has a tough West Carroll team to go though.
South Side (17-2, 10-2) at Fayette-Ware (19-5, 9-2)
(Boys)
Last meeting: South Side won 98-62
Players to watch: South Side guard A.J. Merriweather
What to know: South Side and Fayette-Ware are tied at the
top with two losses in District 14-AA play, so this game has much riding on it.
The Hawks did as they pleased against Fayette-Ware in the first matchup, but
don’t expect the game to be as easy this time around. Both teams are extremely
athletic with some good shooters. The Hawks have had some slips in the fourth
quarter, so playing a full game will be important.
North Side (12-11, 2-5) at Hardin County (18-2, 4-2)
(Boys)
Last meeting: Hardin County won 63-61 in 2OT
Players to watch: North Side forward Larry Fuller; Hardin
County post Will Shelton
What to know: Hardin County is in a race for second place
in the district with Munford, so a win here is a must to keep that alive. The
Tigers won in double overtime at North Side, and they are much better on their
home floor. North Side has been playing much better recently, and the Indians
would love to beat the Tigers on their home floor. Post play will be the
difference in this game.
USJ (5-16, 2-6) at JCS (12-10, 6-2) (Boys)
Last meeting: JCS won 67-53
Players to watch: USJ guard Peyton Fendley; JCS post
Lucas Pyron
What to know: JCS is one of three teams along with
Fayette Academy and St. George’s that are sitting atop the district with two
losses. This is a rivalry where records are thrown out the window, and the
Bruins will be hungry for a win. JCS won the first meeting behind 35 points by
Lucas Pyron. If the Eagles lose, they could fall from first to as far down as
third place entering the region tournament in two weeks’ time.
