on a record-breaking performance here Friday evening in the single-A state semifinals as the Titans allowed just two made field goals on 46 attempts (4.3%) en route to a 48-16 blowout of Cameron who saw their defense set an all-class state tournament record for field goal percentage defense which was previously held by Huntington St Joe back in 2016 when the Irish limited Richwood to 12.8% (6 of 47) “I think our defense definitely showed up again tonight,” said coach Chapman whose Titans led 25-2 after one and watched Cameron finally crack double digits with a pair of late foul shots in the third quarter from Maci Neely “We forced Cameron out of their comfort zone and forced them to take some contested shots “A lot of our offense is created through our defense so it was good to get some easy looks down the floor We ran the floor well and made pretty good decisions with the basketball and did a pretty good job of executing offensively with the plays and getting it inside.” who graduated four seniors off last year’s squad which became the first public school to three-peat in single-A after handing the Titans a 50-43 setback but these girls are going to be fine,” admitted coach Pettit whose team got outscored 28-3 in the paint and 21-4 on points off turnovers “We knew what we were getting into when we got the fourth seed “We don’t have anybody over 5-9 We knew that we were outsized and they are well coached Unfortunately we didn’t compete as well as we wanted to and our shots weren’t falling Nobody thought we’d make it to Charleston this year Ava Dobbins led the way for Gilmer County as the junior pivot went for game-highs of 16 points a game-high five steals and shared game-high assists honors at three with teammates Lena Frymier and Malory Casteel “I’m really excited,” Ellyson said of having another chance to cut down the nets “I’ve been waiting on this for so long “I’m really excited and I think the team vibes are really good We’ve worked so hard and we’re just happy to be there tomorrow.” Freshman Titan Kenley Hartshorn finished with seven points added 10 rebounds and joined Blair Dobbins with a blocked shot I’ve had fun with the team,” said Hartshorn it looked like the Dragons might set the state record for fewest points in a state tournament game which is still held by South Harrison (15) against Charleston Catholic “We are just really scrappy on defense and very technical,” added coach Chapman who got three points apiece from Frymier and Casteel while Laura Brannon and Blair Dobbins had a bucket each “Defensively I thought we pressured the ball very well forced them to their off-hand and I thought the next pass away people were out in the passing lane “We defended the screens well when they came up with a ball screen so we did a pretty good job with the help on that and the defensive rotations I thought the bigs inside did a great job if it did get past the guards altering shots and being a rim protector.” Ellyson actually scored all of her markers in the first half as the Titans shot 54.2% (13 of 24) and held a commanding 36-6 intermission advantage “Worked every day in practice and worked hard all year and this will be another opportunity,” said Ava Dobbins of trying to finish the season on top Blair Dobbins was joined in grabbing six boards by Frymier while Brannon and Casteel collected five caroms

game-high scoring honors with junior teammate Lena Frymier “To lose two state championships in three years I knew that we could come back here and do the same thing but with a different result and that’s what we did It was just a surreal feeling to be doing this with everybody that I love.” Ellyson’s layup 1:54 in finally dented the scoreboard as a Kenzie Browning runner 1:27 later knotted the affair for the only time Ellyson assisted on the first of Frymier’s five 3s to make it 5-2 as the Titans led the rest of the way en route to a 23-4 record “After I made my first 3 I knew my team was there to hype me up and it just helped lead into the next possession I couldn’t have done it without my teammates,” said Frymier who chipped in four rebounds and three assists while adding “we will try to come back down here and we’ll just have the best season next year and just try to make the best of it.” Pivot Ava Dobbins followed with consecutive deuces and Frymier added a foul shot before a putback by Dobbins had the Panthers in a 12-2 hole late in first which led to a 13-3 cushion after one “I just make sure to keep my hands up and follow the person with the ball and try not to fall into them just go straight up and swat it out of the air,” replied Dobbins when asked about her blocking abilities as the junior went for game-highs of 10 stuffs a baker’s dozen boards and hit 8 of 12 from the field for 16 points “This is my first triple-double ever “At first it was like nerve-racking but after that first timeout coach told us to calm down and everybody was a little wild so we calmed down after that and got our offensive flow going and made sure to do our stuff on defense.” During Tug Valley’s semifinal win the Panthers hit a dozen treys Tug Valley missed all 11 of its attempts from beyond the arc and shot just 15.6% (10 of 64) from the field as Haven Deskins had the only Panther assist while leading the team with nine points and grabbing nine rebounds “We definitely keyed in on their guards We have a very good defensive unit and we definitely have one at the helm who watched Casteel help keep TVHS leading scorer Kenzie Browning in check to the tune of five markers At one point she only had one point and every shot she took was a very difficult shot That was her assignment and she executed it really well They are very happy with whoever is successful that night and it wasn’t just always one person It was a total team effort all year and they just knew where the ball needed to go to at certain times of the season and just defensively they committed to just sitting down and playing good defense all year.” Laura Brannon’s assist to Blair Dobbins got the Titans going in the second quarter and it was 18-3 with 4:44 to go in the half

ground the rest of the way as the Panthers trailed 41-18 entering the fourth Despite the slow start and having half of their 14 turnovers in the opening quarter “I think nerves were showing a little bit Once they settled down we started to do our thing pretty good,” said the coach who opened her post game press conference by saying “first of all I want to give glory to God and I want to thank my coaching staff They are wonderful to work with and they bring so much to the table as far as working with our young ladies They showed up this week and really supported us and supported us all year Really appreciate everything they have done for us and I especially want to thank these young ladies They are wonderful young ladies and they absolutely 100,000% deserve being here right now with this

our shoulder from last time losing in overtime “We went through a little stretch there where we weren’t really jelling up and were a little Helter Skelter but we have a really good bond and I think we really pushed together as a team They have a lot of 6-foot girls and we’re not too tall and their guards are amazing They are just a really good team and they are a really tough team to beat It’s always going to be back and forth between us.” which entered the week tied for first with Wheeling Central in double-A scored the first nine points of the affair thanks to a pair of 3s by Davis and a

score was set with 18.2 to go when Bulluck made 1 of 2 A potential game-tying triple by Frymier also didn’t find the bottom of the net as the Blue Devils held on but I give credit to Gilmer,” said

you normally try to set for senior night but we had Elkins cancel on us and we sent out an email and luckily coach Chapman needed a game and she’d definitely never one to back down from competition and we sort of have the same mindset,” admitted coach Bunch who received 10 points from daughter Quinn and Arissa Burt white Haught had nine Pickens eight and Gracie Montgomery seven off the bench “In a game like that at the end of the year playing the number one team in the state and she feels the same way about playing us and trying to prep us for the postseason “They got us here last year and the girls remembered that That’s the kind of team we want to finish with We got bigger goals and we want to get ready for the postseason and I feel like bringing a team in here we could beat by 30 or 40 points we wouldn’t have got as much out of it They are a great team and they are well coached We still get one more home game next week so it’s not their last home game but it’s good on senior night they got honored and were able to pull out a win like that against a team like that.” which led 8-6 after one and 17-13 at halftime opened the affair with four straight turnovers now 18-4 with a

hosts went ahead for good at 28-26 thanks to a Bunch deuce The Titans trailed 30-26 entering the fourth after Makaela Bandy found Haught for a basket with 5 seconds left on the clock “That’s what we were looking forward to was the challenge,” admitted coach Chapman who got a game-high five steals from Frymier and a quartet from Ellyson “This is only going to make us better There were things that definitely got exposed that we still need to continue to work on but in the long run I’m positive and the girls are going to stay positive and that’s important right now is just to keep a good head and keep the mindset Williamstown is a terrific team and that’s why we wanted to play them I mean we just played great defense other than a few breakdowns We held that team to under 50 and those post players are huge in there and Pickens is a great inside player I thought Ava for the most part did a great job on her I enjoyed it and the girls got better from it so we’re just going to use it as a positive.” the Titans closed it to one point on three other occasions in the fourth quarter with the last coming at the 3:19 mark when Ellyson had a three-point play “We got a couple good stops,”
