Lady Jags put the "smack down" on Patriots

The Lady Jags won their 5th straight opening round playoff game dominating the Pinecrest Patriots 65-24 at Athens Gym. The Patriots actually led 4-2 early but a 14-2 run the close the first quarter put the games outcome in little doubt.

The Jaguars were a balanced act at they shot 13 of 21 in both halves to end up the game 26 of 44 for a terrific fg percentage of 62%. A far cry from the 32% in the Green Hope game. A function of a good shooting percentage is getting high quality shots. Obviously, the more layups you get the higher the percentage is when you add those in with the outside shots.

Next up for the Lady Jags is Wakefield who ended Athens season last year in the sectional semi-finals. Wakefield escaped Durham with a 48-45 win over Hillside in a rematch of last years Sectional Final.
