Lady Jags move on to the Tri-9 finals

Athens has moved on to the finals of the Tri-9 conference with a 43-24 win over Middle Creek. Athens playing it's second game in less than 24 hours got off to a good start breaking down Middle Creeks's 1-3-1 trap for layup's in the opening quarter for a 18-6 lead.

The girls did a good job of breaking down Middle Creek defensively early and then we just locked them down on defense the rest of the way.

The win pushed the Lady Jags record to 22-3 and 16-2 in Tri-9 conference play. This senior class is now 95-19 overall and 61-7 in league play. Five of those seven losses came on the games final possession or in OT.

This had been week of reflection for me personally as my 98 year old gradmother passed away. Wow she was born in 1912 in a one room house Mississippi. She only made it to the sixth grade in school. Even at that it certainly is not like the sixth grade would be now. Known as a tough fiesty women who servived a house being blown away by a tornado and another buring to the ground. I remember her telling me about the first time she saw an airplane fly over the house and about how she did not think we ever went to the moon. How impossible that must have seemed to her. She was a survivor in every since of the word. She never learned to drive a car...that must have simplfied her life.......

Okay Lady Jags let's get those Green Hope Falcons tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!
