One Last Go Around
Several seniors will finish their careers this coming week in all 3 classifications. Just way too many girls to name and I don’t want to miss anyone. All will try to be standing come next Saturday February 26 in the Sumter Civic Center as champions.
Who Will Take Class 1A?
Newberry Academy Lady Eagles defeated Patrick Henry Academy last season to win the Class 1A State Championship.
The Cathedral Academy Lady Generals could be the new team on the block this season. The Lady Generals have a (18-6) record with wins over Patrick Henry Academy 73-68 and Newberry Academy 43-40. The Lady Generals have a young squad but played a very competitive schedule this past season.
The week of basketball starting this Friday will more than likely have several locations. Look for games in Columbia, Charleston, Orangeburg and Sumter. Only time will tell where everyone will be. Prep Girls Hoops will do its best to provide coverage from venues throughout the week with the SCISA State Tourney.
