The Forrest Lady Rockets returned to the court Monday night, coming off arguably their worst performance of the season in a 24-point loss to Moore County last Friday in a game that would have locked up first place with a win in the ultra-competitive District 9A. Forrest had little time to dwell on the loss as Monday's opponent featured Mt. Pleasant, who is tied for second place in District 11A. The Lady Rockets ended the regular season Tuesday in Chapel Hill against Perry County, a team that participated in the state tournament in Murfreesboro last season. more

With the District 9-1A tournament brackets already set, the boys from Chapel Hill traveled to Mt. Pleasant (17-6) on Monday to try and sharpen its game to get ready for Moore County on Saturday afternoon.

Since a win over Moore County in the 2011 region final at Community, the Raiderettes have dominated Forrest, beating the Lady Rockets 12-out-of-16 times, including season-ending defeats in 2013 and 2015. The two historic rivals met again at Lynchburg Friday night with the regular season District 9A title on the line and the Raiderettes were ready with a long range aerial blitzkrieg that resulted in a 70-46 shellacking over Forrest. “If I can sum it up in one word it would be embarrassing from top to bottom,” Forrest coach Jeremy said. “I didn’t have them ready to play and they weren’t ready to play or to defend anybody.” more

The Forrest Rockets’ trip to Lynchburg Friday night was semi-sweet as the Rockets beat the Raiders 54-40 to earn a coin flip with Fayetteville at Saturday morning’s District 9A meeting to stay out of the district tournament play-in on February 11 versus the same Moore County squad. “I’m very proud of the effort,” Forrest coach Randy Toombs said. “The boys stayed focused on the entire game and it was very productive.” Unfortunately, the Rockets (5-23, 3-9) lost the toss to Fayetteville (6-19, 3-9) and will meet the Raiders (1-22, 0-12) in a 2:30 p.m. start at Huntland on Saturday. more

A region tournament spot was on the line Friday when Grace Christian-Franklin (6-18, 4-10) paid a visit to Cornersville for Senior Night and the final regular season District 11A contest. With a loss, the Lady Bulldogs could find itself as low as sixth place, but with a win Cornersville (12-9, 9-5) might end up as high as second place. One thing was for sure--the Lady Bulldogs could not suffer a letdown versus the Lady Lions in order to make a serious push for its 12th region tournament appearance in the past 13 seasons. Judging by the first half alone in which the Lions scored just four points, the Lady Dawgs fully realized the importance of the contest and cruised to a 48-32 win. more
