The Wood Memorial Trojans, the girls playing for the state championship, had a second quarter right out of hell yesterday morning, being outscored by the Oregon-Davis, 25-4, which doomed their efforts to bring home the trophy. Final score: Oregon-Davis 54, Wood Memorial 46. The tall and talented center for the Trojans, Katie Cochren, finished with a triple double, 17 points, 13 rebounds, 10 blocked shots.
That was yesterday morning. Last night up in Odon at the North Daviess gym, our local teams, the Loogootee Lions and the Barr Reeve Vikings, put on a show that was a hold-your-breath, sit-on-the-edge-of-your-seat, foot-stomping, rafter-shaking barn burner that was decided only when the final horn went off and the Lions' last second shots missed their mark. Vikings 40, Lions 39. Ecstacy to my left where the Viking faithful went through the roof; agony to my right, where the Lion backers stood drained blankly staring at the mad rush of those other guys to the center of the floor. Well, darn the bad luck of the Lions and a big congrats to the good fortune of the Vikings - may they continue to succeed and bring home the state trophy to the area.
