Memphis Central (TN) is led by 6'0'' Nina Davis, who is headed to Baylor next season.

Cincinnati Princeton is led by junior Chelsea Mitchell and freshman Markayla Sherman.

[Joshua_Morgret]

Beautiful pass from Davis to 5'10'' junior Tia Wooten for the hoop. After a Princeton miss, Wooten makes 1-of-2 free throws after being fouled.

I think there are about eight fans here from each school and the rest are just taking it in before McKinley/Lincoln and the big one of Fairmont/Jesuit.

OHSAA commissioner Dr. Dan Ross has arrived here. Bucket by 5'9'' junior Jasmyn Hardin and two from 6'0'' junior Carlie Pogue give Princeton the lead.

Davis responds and she also has six points. Maybe a game-long battle? 5'6'' sophomore Corneisha Henderson scores for Princeton but Davis responds!

Dr Dan Ross of the OHSAA is now in 'da house.....

you will be able to hear his interview later on the Voice of Holmes County
not sure if Flound or myself will be given the opportunity to ask him
about "Competitive Balance" or the new transfer rules that will be voted on at the
next OHSAA meeting........

[Joshua_Morgret]

Wooten just picked up her second foul for Princeton and heads to the bench. Memphis Central getting a lot of offensive rebounds.

END 1ST QUARTER

[Rocketman]

BOB...........SEGER!!

Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock 'n' roll
Don't try to take me to a disco
You'll never even get me out on the floor
In ten minutes I'll be late for the door
I like that old time rock'n' roll

Still like that old time rock'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll
Won't go to hear them play a tango

I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul
There's only sure way to get me to go
Start playing old time rock 'n' roll
Call me a relic, call me what you will
Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill
Today' music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock 'n' roll

Still like that old time rock'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll

We have a weird technical foul to start the 2nd quarter. It was Princeton ball. The radio announcer beside me said someone went in without checking in? Regardless, Central gets 1-of-2 free throws and the ball to start the quarter now.

Flounder just got back from listening to the Dr. Ross' interview.......

he then reminded me that dinner will be ready at 5:30pm.

[Joshua_Morgret]

#23 of Princeton nails a 3-pointer. There is no #23 on the Princeton roster, but is a #24, so we'll call her 5'6'' freshman LaJessica Olverson. Davis responds with a bucket on the other end and she has 10 points.

Get up off your .......

CCR.........Fortunate Son

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the Chief"
Oh, they point the cannon at you, Lord

It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no Senator's son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh
But when the tax men come to the door
Lord, the house look a like a rummage sale, yes

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no millionaire's son, no, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no

Back-to-back buckets, sandwiched around a Central timeout gives Princeton the lead, but not for long as Central scores early, followed by a Davis bucket. Mitchell responds for Princeton, as does 5'0'' senior Kahdeja Howell for Central. Back and forth here.

Henderson drops in two free throws for Princeton and gets a breather right after it. Central misses an easy shot and Pogue quickly scores for Princeton.

5'6'' junior Meme Hill with three breakaways, but it results in just one basket and it looks like Princeton will hold for the final shot of the half. Timeout first.

[Rocketman]

Josh has stepped out so Flounder will be posting on his 'puter for a little bit
if things don't seem quite right, you've been warned....

Goodness, Gracious.............Great Balls of Fire!

You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane You broke my will, but what a thrill
Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire
I laughed at love 'cause I thought it was funny
You came along and moved me honey
I've changed my mind, your love is fine
Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire
Kiss me baby, woo feels good

Hold me baby, wellllll I want to love you like a lover should
Your fine, so kind
I want to tell the world that your mine mine mine mine
I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumbs
I'm real nervous, but it sure is fun
Come on baby, drive my crazy
Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire
