Lancashire Schools Basketball Under
14 Girls Final Montgomery
39, Bacup 32
15th May 2006 at Darwen Vale High School
From looking at the results in the pool games
and semi-finals Bacup appeared to be slight favourites for the
final having had better results than Montgomery.Both teams started
slowly but it was Montgomery that held the early advantage to lead
9-4 at the first break. The second quarter
was tight but at the end of the half Montgomery had extended their
lead from 5 to 7 points.
With two so well matched teams; Bacup having
the better players but Montgomery playing
the better basketball, whichever team took their chances was going
to win. With a massive effort in the third
quarter, the Bacup girls
pulled the score back to within one basket, 27-29, but with so
many missed shots and even more missed free throws (scoring
only 6 from 27 attempts) the team failed to take the lead and control
of the game.
Montgomery's free throw shooting was also keeping the game close
as they only managed 5 from 22, but the tall Lauren
D kept the
points coming finishing second highest scorer on the day with 12.
Montgomery withstood the pressure and with Bacup having 3 of their
5 starters (Sophie Horrocks, Nansi Pallavus
and Ellie Carrick)
on 4 fouls and one fouled out (Simone Kelly) just couldn’t
maintain the pressure. Most of these fouls were committed trying
to control the oppositions very quick ball handler (Jade
T), who
was later awarded the MVP for her overall contribution to the game
(top scorer with 13 points, excellent ball handling in offence,
good defence).
The missed chances took their toll and Montgomery eventually finished
the game with a 7 point advantage to become the first ever Lancashire
Schools Basketball under 14 Girls Champions.
The Bacup team…

Katie Bickford, Helen Marston, Sara Davison, Alix McDermott and

Under 16 Girls FINAL
After a very close and hard fought (almost literally at
times) game Worden became the first Lancashire Schools Under 16 Girls
champions.
Final score Worden 32, Bacup 28.
The scores were level 14-14 at half time but then Worden opened
up 7 point gap in the third quarter. Despite outscoring their opponents
in the final quarter Bacup just couldn't close the gap.
However, the team played very well, especially defensively, and
deserve a great deal of credit for their efforts and skill this
year.
