[player_tooltip player_id='831251' first='Zoe' last='Gibson'] looked very comfortable and confident in this one.

This team always seems to make a deep run, and I'm not expecting anything to change this postseason. The Bartlett culture is a winning one....and they always seem to find a way to make a deep run into March. And I think this team will too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Moore County (25-8) 44</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McEwen (20-9) 32</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Moore County girls will take on the 22-10 Clay County squad at 5:30 on Wednesday March 6th.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='409039' first='Ellie' last='Graham'], Katy Fletcher and [player_tooltip player_id='1095985' first='Madison' last='Dingler'] were named All-Tournament with Dingler earning MVP honors. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
