What a great game. I would have paid top dollar to see this game. Both teams played their hearts out. You just might see these 2 teams meeting again in the regional final.

Paintsville 22-10-19-15 (64)
Magoffin 13-20-19-18 (67)

The turning point in the game was in the 2nd with Paintsville up 9 points. Manns hit 2 3 pointers in a row to put Magoffin on a roll. Both of them were wide open 3's. She's one of the best 3 point shooters in the region. What was she doing wide open???????????????

In the 2nd half, Magoffin scored numerous easy fast break points. If Paintsville would have gotten back on defense, they might have pulled this one out.

Magoffin was 12-18 from the free throw line. Paintsville was 6-8.

Paintsville was 27-68 from the field for 40%

Magoffin:
Ashley Jade Howard 29 points (20 in the 2nd, most on easy lay ups)
Manns 16 points
M. Howard 12
C. Howard 1


Paintsville:
L. Carroll 6 pts
K. Carroll 13 pts, 6 assists, 4 steals
Hall 12 pts, 6 reb
Russell 7 pts, 4 reb, 3 assists

Jarrell 26 pts, 11-16 FG, 21 reb (9 offensive), 2 steals
13 pts in both halves, 12 reb 1st half and 9 reb in 2nd

Magoffin really picked up the defense and made Paintsville really work to just get shots off. They did a great job on Jarrell in the second half, holding her to 5-9 shooting. Paintsville turned the ball over 5 times forcing the ball into her. Paintsville shot 12-36 in the second half.

Congrats to both teams. These 2 teams played arguably the 3 best games in the 15th region this year. I'm happy to have witnessed all 3 games.

Good luck to both teams and lets hope there will be a 4th game so the rest of the region can see what your games are all about.
