2013 Shelby County Middle Schools Sectional Tournament Bracket


2013 Shelby County Sectionals

Championship: Mt. Pisgah vs Riverdale
Both Teams receive automatic bid to State Tournament 

Mt. Pisgah has participated in my Intensity Camp as a team the last two years. They lost a lot of talent and experience this season due to players heading to high school. I'm happy to see that the team has grown as the season progressed.

Riverdale has come out of no where and has shocked Shelby County Middle School basketball. Check out an earlier story titled "All Out. All Game. All Season".

Congratulations to both teams!

Women’s Basketball Recruiting Rules to Change

I wanted to share some interesting information released by the NCAA on January 22, 2013. My notes in red.


Division I women’s basketball coaches will be recruiting student-athletes under a new set of rules in the future.

The Board of Directors on Saturday adopted a new recruiting model that includes changes in rules governing communication with prospects, off-campus contacts, official visits, on-campus evaluations and the creation of a summer academic access model.

Millington girls stay perfect in District 14-AAA

from Commercial Appeal
 
Millington’s girls basketball team continued its dominating play in District 14-AAA by jumping out to a 16-5 first-quarter lead on defending district champ Arlington and cruising to a 60-44 win.

The Trojans are only 10-13 overall, but inside league play they are 6-0.

“We had a real rough December, but this team is fun to be around right now,” Millington coach Bruce Marshall said. “They’re playing together, getting off to quick starts, and sharing the ball on offense.”

It was somebody different leading the way on offense each quarter for Millington. Tiara Caldwell, a 6-2 senior bound for UT-Martin, had six of her eight points in the first quarter. Treasure Redding, a 6-3 senior being looked at by CBU and Southwest Tennessee Community College, had eight of her team-high 14 in the second quarter, when Millington stretched the lead to 36-20. Senior guard Seymon Taylor had four points in each quarter of the first half and wound up the night with 10.
Junior point guard Kendra Richardson had six of her 12 in the third quarter, when the lead expanded to 49-30. And senior Erin Clark had six of her 11 in the final 12 minutes. The Trojans used enough high-low post offense, and got just enough outside shooting from the backcourt to prevent Arlington from packing its entire defense around Millington’s post players.

“We’re looking for each other, playing as one right now and that’s how it should be,” Redding said.
Millington also kept up constant defensive pressure against Arlington (12-8, 4-2), which turned the ball over 32 times in the contest.

“We’re young, and still finding our way, but nights like this are tough, especially dealing with a team that has size and experience (like Millington),” said Arlington coach David Offerle, who has just four upper classmen on his roster. The Tigers were led by 18 points from freshman Torrie Sewell, but seven came in the final 90 seconds after Millington cleared its bench.

Richardson said that during the district run, they have made a point of trying to start games at a quicker, more intense tempo. “We get that first big basket and it’s like we remember ‘It’s game time’,” she said.

Marshall, whose team is in the middle of a five-game district road swing, agreed that, “We were starting very slowly through most of December and it made for a tough month.”
He believes the turnaround came Jan. 8 in a home loss to area power Briarcrest.

“They had us down 17 at halftime, and I issued a challenged. I said we could either keep going and lose by 35, or make a game of it,” Marshsall said. “We fought back and got to within a basket, and I think that let our team know what could happen if we played together, with intensity. And they’ve kept it up.”

Horn Lake wallops Southaven in girls basketball

 image and article from Commercial Appeal

Southaven's Jazmine Joiner (center) grabs a rebound with competition from Horn Lake's Tranika Echols and teammate A'Queen Hayes.


What was the key for the Horn Lake girls basketball team to win its Mississippi High School Activities Association Region 1-6A rematch against visiting Southaven Tuesday?

First of all, unlike last week's 11-point road loss, the shots were falling for the Lady Eagles, who also mixed in a stingy defense to hold the Lady Chargers to their lowest point output of the season in a 44-26 victory.

"The main thing for me tonight was confidence," said Horn Lake coach Janna Lyons, "because I truly believe in this team. So, for my girls to not only hear me say it, but actually see that we could contend and beat great teams. I think that says a lot ... that's what this game was all about."

On their way to improving to 18-2 overall and 4-1 in league play, the Lady Eagles built a 21-10 lead on the strength of Bridget Grant's 3-pointer and Brayanta Conley's layup early in the second period.
Southaven (19-3, 4-1) answered with Aliyah Miller's jumper and two free throws by Lulu Layne, yet the Lady Chargers would be held off the scoreboard for the remaining four minutes and 40 seconds of the opening half. It wasn't until Olivia Cunningham converted on a free throw at the 3:38 mark of the third period that the top-ranked team in The Commercial Appeal's Dandy Dozen would end its scoring drought.

"We couldn't hit a basket," Southaven coach David Baldwin said. "Horn Lake was much more prepared. Apparently, I didn't have mine ready to play. We didn't seem to all be on the same page."
The final period was more of the same for the Lady Chargers, who like in the second period, were limited to four points. Horn Lake knocked down seven-of-eight shots from the free throw line, including four from Keneisha Winfrey to maintain its comfortable cushion.

"My girls were just a little more focused on the things that mattered," Lyons said. "At the end, winning is great, but the little things in between was even more important."

Grant, one of just three seniors on the Lady Eagle roster, scored a game-high 15 points for the Lady Eagles.

"Coach challenged me to be a better leader," said Grant, who contributed a pair of 3-pointers in the win, "so my mind frame tonight was to keep everybody focused.

"We work a lot on our shots, so for them to finally fall in big games, it feels good and pushes our confidence."

Added Lyons: "(Grant) is a phenomenal player. She brings her A-game in big games. She does great things for us."

Southaven was paced by Miller, a Providence signee, with eight points. A'Queen Hayes added seven.

Classic in the Country Recaps

Central was mentioned in more recaps of the Classic in the Country in Ohio by Blue Star Media and Full Court.

Blue Star Media Day 2 Recap:

It’s not often that you can shoot virtually even with your opponent, out rebound them by 9, see them shoot just 3 of 12 from the line…and still lose 72 to 47.  Unfortunately for Memphis Central they caught Reynoldsburg on one of those days where everything and everyone is clicking.  The Raiders utilized a blistering 7 of 15 first half three point performance to take a commanding 41 to 26 halftime lead.  Things went further downhill for the Warriors in the third as Reynoldsburg held them to just seven points while posting 21 of their own.  A 14 – 10 fourth period was moot for Central as the writing was on the wall with a 25 point final deficit.  Senior guard Yamonie Jenkins, an Ohio University signee, led the way with 15, all coming from her 5 for 9 deep shooting.  Ever improving junior guard Nicole Orr added 14 going 6 of 12 from the floor while another OU signee, Destini Cooper contributed 13.  Morehead commit Shiloh Murphy was the last in double figures for Reynoldsburg with 10.  Baylor bound senior Nina Davis led Central once again this time posting 25 points on 11 of 21 shooting and adding 10 boards as well in the loss.  Junior forward Tia Wooten was the only other Warrior in double digits finishing with 14 while going 6 for 9 from the floor.

Read complete day 2 recap 

This is what Mark Lewis of Blue Star Media had to say about Nina Davis in her two game performance.

Nina Davis – Memphis Central – Headed to Baylor next year, the 5’11 forward may define the word “productive”.  Shooting a two game total of 24 for 42, she produced 54 points and 24 rebounds as the Warriors went one and one on the weekend.
Blue Star's Event Recap


Bob Corwin of Full Court wrote this about Nina Davis.

Nina Davis, 5-11 power forward, Memphis Central TN
During her most recent club basketball season, Davis got multiple mentions on Full Court playing for Tennessee Flight Silver. The most impressive thing about her game continues to be that she never takes a possession off regardless of how things are going for her team, which split two games while at the Classic (winning 63-56 versus short-handed Princeton of Cincinnati and losing 72-47 to Reynoldsburg). Davis went for 29 points and 14 boards in the first contest and 25 points and 10 rebounds versus Reynoldsburg.  Most encouraging for this Baylor signee was that she showed more range, hitting a few from midkey rather than just scoring at the rim.

How local high school basketball stars are doing this season

From Commercial Appeal The Memphis Edge blog post by John Varlas

For a long time now, the city of Memphis has been a prime exporter of basketball talent to colleges throughout the nation. The University of Memphis can't get everyone, meaning there are plenty of players from Hoop City who annually put up nice numbers. But like the old saying goes "out of sight, out of mind." So, to rectify that, we present a look at how some former Memphis-area high school stars are doing this season.

(Statistics are current through this weekend's games).

Danielle Ballard (LSU women): The former Central star has made an instant impact in her first college season and will certainly be in the mix for SEC Freshman of the Year honors. Ballard is averaging 13.4 ppg., tied for second on the team, while leading the Lady Tigers with 3.6 steals per contest. She got her career highs in points and rebounds against Ole Miss on Jan. 3, scoring 24 and pulling down 12. In an early-season victory over Grambling, Ballard scored 24 points and tied LSU's single-game freshman record with seven steals.

Alex Black (Chattanooga women): Black, who starred at Harding Academy, has started all 17 games for Chattanooga, scoring 6.6 ppg. while shooting 34 percent from behind the 3-point line. She's also third on the team in assists (37).

Phikala Anthony and Tiffany Jones, Commercial Appeal Players of the Week

Phikala Anthony and Tiffany Jones, Manassas: The seniors have been leading the way for Manasass all season and last week was no exception. The 6-0 Jones, who is drawing serious recruiting interest from UT-Martin, averaged 27.5 points and 16 rebounds while the 5-9 Anthony averaged 26 points and 8.5 rebounds in victories over Trezevant and Kingsbury.

Southaven girls hand Horn Lake first loss of the season

from Commercial Appeal

The art of winning high school basketball games encompasses several different aspects.
For example, there are height, rebounding prowess and the ability to light up the scoreboard from beyond the arc.

In Tuesday's Mississippi High School High School Activities Association Region 1-6A girls contest between visiting Horn Lake and Southaven — the top-ranked teams in The Commercial Appeal's Dandy Dozen — the host Lady Chargers capitalized on the first two on the list to register a 56-45 victory.

The crutch for the Lady Eagles, who were tagged with their first loss of the season, was the inability to score from the outside.

"Our advantage in the post showed up as the game went on," said Southaven coach David Baldwin, who saw his club improve to 18-2 overall and 3-0 in league play.

"We just thought we'd take a shot and see if they missed a few. When they missed them and we rebounded them, we got a little bit of a running game going. We live and die by running — that's just the way it is."

Horn Lake (17-1, 2-1) took a 14-12 lead into the second quarter. but from the 4:11 mark until the halftime break, the Lady Chargers went on a 14-2 run.

Three of those buckets came from Providence signee Aliyah Miller, who battled hard under the rim and flexed her muscle with second- and third-chance scoring opportunities.

"It was hard at first, because they're pretty strong," said Miller, who finished with a game-high 17 points. "They'll push you out of the way and do anything they can to make it hard to score, but you've got to stay smart and just keep playing with heart."

The Lady Eagles strung together a 7-0 run, highlighted by a Treasure Evans 3-pointer, to cut their deficit to five midway through the third, yet Southaven closed out the period with seven unanswered to take a 46-34 lead.

"Without our post players ... Miller and Jasmine (Joyner) played really well; they were the difference tonight," said Baldwin, "but Joanna (Smith) came in there and made a couple of real nice baskets when we needed them. And give us something they couldn't catch up with."

Smith concluded her night with 14 points, including eight in the fourth. Brittany Grant led the Lady Eagles by scoring 12.

"The same things that make you laugh, make you cry," Horn Lake coach Janna Lyons said.
"This is an extremely young group, and at times, it showed tonight. Overall, I think I had a couple of players that kind of let the hype of the game get to them."

The Lady Eagles play DeSoto Central on Friday, before gearing up for Round 2 with Southaven on Jan. 29. The rematch will be at home.

"One (loss) was going to come," said Lyons. "We're undersized. Our heart goes a long way, but down the stretch, we've got to get used to playing some bigger girls. It was a great learning experience, I think, at the end of the day."
