Millington vs St. Benedict- Dragon Fire Championship Report
Millington and St. Benedict faced off for the Collierville High Dragon Fire Invitational 2008 Tournament Championship. It started off sloppy with both teams committing turnovers on their first possessions.

Latesa McLaughlin held it down for Millington scoring 10 in the first including 2 three pointers. The first quarter ended tied 16.
Neither team was able to score until the 5:15 mark in the second quarter. The defense was relentless by both squads.

At halftime, Millington led 23-22.
Symone Daniels (21), Sophomore Post St. Benedict
Michelle Brown, Senior Post, Millington
Early in the third quarter, Millington's Tamarah Brandon committed her 4th foul and had to sit down forcing Millington to go to their bench.

Inspite of the foul trouble, Millington turned up the defensive heat and St. Benedict had a couple of costly mental lapses helping Millington to increase the lead. End of Third Quarter 35-30 Millington.
Fourth quarter was all Millington winning the game 51-37.

Millington vs Houston in Collierville Dragon Fire Report
In the opening tip off of the game, Houston got the ball and Sarah Watkins went on a shooting spree scoring 8 of the team's 10 first quarter points including 4 rebounds. Millington started off slow and didn't get their first point of the game until the 5 minute mark, when Latesa McLaughlin hit a freethrow making the score 6-1. Millington's Michelle Brown contributed in a big way in the first assisting McLaughlin with points by scoring 6 and grabbing 4 rebounds.
1st quarter: Houston 10 Millington 7
In the second quarter, Houston for some reason stopped feeding the ball to Watkins and Millington went to work behind 11 second quarter points from Jasmine Newsome including 3 for 5 shooting from behind the arch. Ending the half 26-20.
During the first half, Millington ran a zone which pretty much matched up their shorter guards against Sarah Watkins. In the second, Ashley Robinson had the role of mirroring Sarah and she gave Watkins problems. Houston only score 6 points in the third. All by Sarah Watkins with 4 coming from the freethrow line. Millington went up by 10 with a score of 36-26.
During the fourth, Houston went on a run cutting the lead to 3. The advantage seem to go Houston's way especially after 3 questionable charges called against Millington. However, the veteran squad pulled it out. Millington wins 46-41.
Millington's top scorers were Jasmine Newsome with 18 and Michelle Brown with 12 points 9 rebounds. Sarah Watkins for Houston had 21 points 9 rebounds.

Millington girls top Fairley in Collierville Tournament
On paper, Fairley had the speed, and Millington had the size. But the only reason the Lady Trojans came away with a 42-30 opening-round victory in the Dragon Fire Invitational at Collierville on Saturday was that they have a speedy backcourt to go with that size.

Germantown vs Snowden Report
Germantown vs Snowden was a great matchup for middle school ball during the Holiday Classic at John P. Freeman.
This game was close throughout but started to go Snowden way towards the end of the 3rd quarter. However, Germantown did not quit and went on a run at the end but finished short of pulling out the victory.
End of 1st quarter tied 8. End of 2nd 13-14 Snowden. End of 3rd 18-22 Snowden. Final score 32-35 Snowden.
If you keep up with middle school basketball, seventh grader Tia Wooten should ring a bell. However Snowden and Germantown displayed some other very talented young ladies during this game.
Tia Wooten, Snowden, All around player, very athletic, rebounds, handles the ball, shooter, can get out of control at times, but that is expected from a 7th grader
Kaylan Parks, Germantown, A beast on the block and boards, has a nice touch on her shot
Jessica Baker, Germantown, I haven't been to many middle school games, but this young lady is one of the best pure shooters I have seen.
Janeka Williams, Snowden, I love her game. She always seem to be around the basketball, can shoot the three, but will also slash and penetrate to the basket and does not mind going left.
Brianna Mitchell, Germantown, is a legit point guard but also has the ability to score off penetration or behind the arch. Is a floor general
