Well, the holidays are over, and it seems the NW4A girls had a fairly good showing of themselves in their respective tournaments, congrats to all. Now it's time for the conference to really get underway. What I would like to do is have someone from each team post their schedule for the upcoming week on here, and come back with the scores when as well when the games are over. I hope that we can keep this thread going each week for the remainder of the season. I'll start with this week for A. C. Reynolds (Jan. 2-9):
Jan. 2 at Alexander Central
Jan. 7 at Freedom (changed from the 6th due to ACR's exams)
Jan. 9 at Watauga (we swithched home and home due to Watauga's exams, they couldn't leave school early that day)
Yes, that is right, three straight road games to start the conference. Good news is we have several home games to end the year! Hope to hear from you NW4A fans! :xyzwave:

Thanks for the feedback! Now we need to hear from you Freedom fans, and East Burke Fans. What is it with the Burke Co. fans, come on let's hear what you guys have coming up! Watauga, I have to say, you win for the toughest start to the conference, especially in girls play! :xyzwave:

well, east burke is scheduled to play south tonight, at south... should be a good game.. could go either way, but my prediction is south by 10 or so... they are tough on their home floor and i believe they have the better team this year in this matchup...
freedom should handle watauga easily, unless the girls decide to revert back to the pre-conference antics... with watauga's new coach and style of play, it could be a little more interesting than in the past few years, but i look for freedom to make a statement... watauga just doesn't have the talent to match freedom's d1 girls...
reynolds should handle AC with ease as well, though road games are never quite as easy as they seem... reynolds has the ability to make this one pretty ugly, but it just depends on which team shows up (the one that beat owen, and played asheville to a 6 point game, or the one that got drilled by 22 vs. asheville)

I appreciate you comments on each game, however, the A. C. Reynolds team that got drilled by Asheville by 22 isn't the same team that lost by 6 to Asheville. See, when we lost by 22 we were without starting all conference guard Katie Rybacki. When they beat us by 6 she scored 14 points, and not having her ball handling and scoring really hurt us up at Asheville when they beat us by 22. I am not saying that we could have or would have beat them, Asheville still would have won. However, we didn't play that bad, we were down 4 midway thru the 3rd and just got into foul trouble, and it went downhill from there.
I agree with your comments though Freedom, ACR, and South Caldwell all should take victories tonight. :thumbup:
South Caldwell won by 3 over East Burke.

I know ACR is always tough but honestly I thought they lost some of their better players to graduation. Who else is stepping up besides Rybacki and Thompson? Also, please give me some details on how they beat Owen because Owen looked almost unbeatable against McDowell and they are tall, tall, tall!

McDowell beat Roberson in workmanlike fashion tonight 66-57. They never could quite get past a 12 or 13 point lead. Good offensive showing but the defense was suspect at times. Good game though.

Well, the Lady Rockets had a tough night tonight. Yes we won by a score of 57-42, however we were up 26 when everything sorta fell apart. First off, starting PG Katie McGalliard didn't play due to an injured back, then early in the 2nd period Katie Rybacki re-injured her knee, don't know the extent of it, but she didn't return to the game. Then when we were up 26 late in the 3rd, coach takes out the starters and well Alexander Central dominates the 4th and climbs back into the game, they cut it to 12. Don't know why our starters were out, but they were, finally our subs held on and put it away. MAN WHAT AN UGLY 4TH! FOULS EVERY TIME DOWN THE FLOOR! Most of Alexander Central's points in the 4th were at the foul line, and I an not blaming the refs, becasue we did foul. Just wish our starter had played together more in this one. TOO MUCH SUBING! I guess he was giving the subs sometime, but man this is conference, make sure its out of hand first!
As for who is stepping up for ACR, Alex Thompson is our major scoring threat, as is Katie Rybacki. However, Brianna Worley, Sydney Alexander and Katie McGalliard has also played really well. Off the bench Michelle Bennett has been a rebounding force, Sarah Owenby has been a scoring threat, and Amanda Whitaker has been a nice threat when given the chance. :wave:

Freedom over Watauga by a sizable margin. I don't know the exact score though.

Thanks! I thought McGalliard graduated and I kind of forgot about Alexander. It makes more sense now. Sounds like you didn't have much to worry about tonight. I just hope the injuries are not serious.
Please give me some details on the win over Owen.

Well, Owen played us a great game, they are a tough team no doubt. However, in the 4th quarter our pressure defense took over and Alex Thompson (24 points) hit several threes to seize comtrol of the game. We led by 11 at one time in the 4th, but Owen wouldn't quit and cut it to 5 before we settled on a 7 point win. We had a hard time rebounding against them, but our press caused them the most trouble, that is why we beat them. Plus it was the first game of the season for both teams, so that may have had something to do with it. I really wish we played them twice this year, but that's not the case. They really have a good team, and it's nice to play top quality competition outside the conference. :xyzwave:
Asheville Citizen-Times did an article on last night's McDowell/Roberson game, the Lady Titans shot over 60 percent from the field. That was the difference in the game, because McDowell had 25 turnovers...way too much. I don't think Coach Silver was too pleased.

Well, it looks like the first BIG game of the Conference year is coming up this week when ACR travels to Freedom on Wednesday the 7th. The game was orginally scheduled for the 6th, but was switched due to ACR having exams, and the JV's would not being able to leave school early. Blame it on the snow, the exams had to be pushed back because of the snow. Anyway, let's hear what people think of this matchup. I am not real sure how healthy ACR will be, starting PG Katie McGalliard didn't play against Alexander Central due to back trouble, and starting guard Katie Rybacki re-injured her knee in the second quarter and didn't return. Without one or both ACR will have a lot of problems handling Freedoms pressure I think. I do think McGalliard will be back, not too sure about Rybacki. I haven't seen Freedom play, but I know from the past that they like to pressure you and we will need our ballhandlers. Well, lets hear what everyone else has to say about this early season matchup. I am guessing since it's a Wednesday game that there will be a lot of scouting going on by some of the McDowell folks as well that night huh! :wave:

EXACTLY... :xyzthumbs
I haven't seen either team play a game this season, so I don't know if I can give a fair and accurate analysis. But reguardless, it will be tough to leave Morganton with a win.

I will be there to see these two for the first time this year. I'm glad I found about the schedule.
McDowell beat a hapless Mitchell squad today 74-34. Time to get serious!

Well, ACR got a huge win tonight down in Morganton, defeating Freedom 62-58. The Lady Rockets got a 3 pointer from Alex Thompson with 35 seconds to go to break up a tie game and she hit a couple of important free throws with 20 seconds to go as well to help hold Freedom off. Anytime you win in Morganton it's a big win, way to go Rockets! :cheers:

I enjoyed the game very much. Both teams played hard. The Lady Titans better have it in high gear against both of these squads. Congrats!
