SEOAL GIRLS BASKETBALL

[noreply66]

Logan trailed Jackson most of the game after their quick 9-2 start but banked in a 25 footer at the buzzer. Jackson freshman Madison Ridout drilled 2 free throws with 10 seconds remaining.....but Logan didn't use a TO and dribbled down the court and had nothing and called a TO with just 1.5 seconds on the clock. Logan managed to set several screens and #33 caught the pass and drilled in the deep 3 pointer.

Absolute heartbreaker for the young Jackson team. Logan forced several turnovers in the 4th qtr and even went ahead on a huge 3 by #33...but Jackson answered and seemingly had the huge league win. This loss will make the Jackson girls want it even more.....they played well enough to win. Jackson had 2 freshman with 10 points including 5'11 Lydia Poe who had 10 points on only about 6 shots and played great.....even being the spark off the bench in the 1st qtr.

Logan is very well coached and are quick on defense and offense. He just kept telling them in the huddle how it was going to be and to make plays and by gosh they did. Great demeanor.

BANK

Jackson showed they will be big time contenders in the SEOAL.

Score???

I don't know 45-43? Something real close to that....it was 13-11 quick and early in the 1st......then it was a struggle offensively as both teams played well on defense. I think #33 hit a 3 late to make it 41-40, then Jackson scored quickly as Logan didn't get back well to make it 42-41 Jackson....Logan scored with about a minute to go up 43-42 and Jackson missed 2 free throws, but got ball back later and made both free throws to go up 44-43....then #33 hit a 3....maybe it was 46-44.

Actually, the final score was Logan 44, Jackson 42

Bailey Topf banks in buzzer beater 3-pointer.

Tough loss for the Ironladies but at the same time lets them and everyone else know that they are contenders. I think Marietta will win the league but Jackson and Logan will be great challengers.

Marietta 46 @ Gallia 23
Warren 47 @ Portsmouth 27

Warren 50 Parkersburg 37. Warren trailing 36-33 at the end of 3 outscore Parkersburg 17-1 in the 4th.

Go SEOAL

[md2020]

On the schedule I have Marietta going to Cambridge on 12-8. Cambridge looked pretty good in scrimmage. Also have Warren visiting Zanesville 12-11. Marietta beat Zanesville at home by 6 points. Common opponent will tell something maybe. No homecourt advantage in these games if that counts for anything.

Didn't Gallia play lastnight?---any score

[md2020]

Marietta comes from behind in 4th and wins a close one at Cambridge. Nice win for Marietta over a good Cambridge team.

[md2020]

Gallia lost to Chesapeake I think 50 to 37. Gallia travels to Logan this Friday.

[mhs95_06]

Marietta comes from behind in 4th and wins a close one at Cambridge. Nice win for Marietta over a good Cambridge team.

The 48-47 win seems like the Tigers were lucky to win it, coming back from 8 down with less than two minutes to go! Cambridge didn't shoot very well, but Marietta shot only 25% on FG. Cambridge won big on the battle of the boards and the Tigers won big on the turnover margin. Free throw shooting late was key.

So how good will Marietta be? As good as last year? Size?

Thanks.

Marietta's size is about the same as last year. The strength of the team is the junior and senior guards. Three of the four seniors are inside players, and their play will be key to the team's success. A sophomore starter is very key also, having two good games so far. If she can keep her confidence going and get comfortable playing varsity, she will be a large asset. Other sophomores will also have to have success spelling the starting guards. It could come together very nicely for the Tigers, but I believe the three senior inside players are the most key components whose range of possible play could be from proficient to less than that, and where they fall in that range will be the most determining factor of the ultimate degree of success the team has. They also need another sophomore inside player to step up and be able to spell the three senior inside players when needed.

I think Marietta, Logan, Jackson, and Warren will battle for the first four spots in the league standings, and the other three teams will battle for the other three spots.

Logan wins a big one at Marietta to put Logan firmly in the driver's seat for the SEOAL championship with wins over Warren, at Marietta, and at Jackson(on the most fortunate ending to steal a big win away from the Ironladies). Without that big game ending trey it to beat Jackson, it would still be a dogfight with Logan in the best position with a win at Marietta. Here are the stats from the Marietta Times:

Logan 13 13 17 10- 53

Marietta 7 16 11 10- 44

Logan (6-0) : Bailey Topf 4-9 4-8 17; Loryn Cassady 2-5 7-8 14; Abbie Linton 5-10 12; Stephanie Murphy 2-5 1-1 6; Brooke Simons 1-3 2

Marietta (4-1) : Erica Dawson 10-24 1-1 23; Maegan Grosel 4-10 2-3 10; Ali Summers 1-7 3-6 5; Betsy Schramm 1-4 2; Elizabeth Stoll 1-4 2; Amanda Brown 1-4 0-2 2

Teams stats:

Logan: Shooting 18-42 (42.8%) 3 pt shooting 5-12 (41.6%) Rebounds 16 (Linton 6) Assists 9 (Linton 2) Steals 5 (Linton 2) Turnovers 18

Marietta: Shooting 15-57 (26.3%) 3 pt shooting 2-12 (16.6%) Rebounds 29 (Summers 12) Assists 6 (Dawson 2) Steals 8 (Grosel 3) Turnovers 13


These stats are somewhat flawed as you can see there are 8 points missing from Logan. I had them all from freshman post player Ashley Frasure who played very well with three FG in the 2nd qtr and one in the 3rd. I don't think she took 10 shots to get them, which is what it would take to have the team shots add up. Logan post players(Linton, Murphy, Frasure) went no worse than 11 for 25 (44%). While the +13 rebounding edge for Marietta can be mainly attributed to the post players(Schramm, Stoll, and Summers), and it was a main reason, along with the team defense being +5 on turnovers, that Marietta had way more shots than Logan. However the post players shooting was no better than 3 for 15 (20%). The shooting stats don't add up as Marietta made 18 FG by my count, with 3 of them being treys by Dawson(I had her for 9 FG , 22 points, and Brown for 2 FG, and Grosel with 5 FG and just one FT). 18 of 57 for Tigers on shooting would be 32% rather than the 26% shown in the paper. I also had Marietta with just 5 of 13 (38%) on free throws, compared to Logan's 13 for 19 (68%).

So the bottom line is the shooting with Marietta getting no more FG than Logan with less treys on many more shots, along with the poor foul shooting. Logan played a very good game to take a good inside track to the league title. I was impressed with the ball handling at all positions by Logan, and without it their turnover numbers would have been obnoxious against the Marietta defense.

Thanks. That is exactly how I had the scoring in my book. I had the same as you listed in the Logan thread for Marietta scoring also. The newspaper was quite a bit off! I see that you show way more rebounds for Logan than the newspaper showed also.

Game of the Week in the SEOL:_Jackson at Marietta Dec 29th. This will determine the team that will occupy 2nd place in the league at the present time. Jackson beat Warren 60-44 their last game. This will be a good game to watch Other games scheduled are Warren at Chillicothe the 29th, Gallipolis at Portsmouth also on the 29th. Logan has two non-league games,one at Groveport and Athens at home this coming week.

You are correct. The winner has the inside track on 2nd place, most especially if Jackson wins because that will be a tough road win. I'm disappointed holiday travels will keep me from seeing the game at Marietta. Hopefully someone will give a good rundown on this site of how the game goes. For either Jackson or Marietta to catch Logan, they will just about have to win at Logan and beat the the other twice!
