A rare opening round encounter with John Welborn of West Point matching strategy vs. his sister, Tammy West of Cold Springs.
West Point is 5 & 0 for January, averaging 73 points a game this month. They have been carried by the scoring of Camryn and Jaelyn Faulkner, plus Laklin Shadix and Caitlee Simmons.
Cold Springs looks to Ella Dickerson to set the scoring tone. The Lady Eagles will need others like Kenady Graves, Hollyn Bruer and Paizley Whitlow to be active on the offensive side of the floor.
V: Good Hope vs. Cold Springs 8:15 (92.1 FM):
Good Hope is back on track with a pair of lop sided wins late last week over East Lawrence 84 to 44 and Danville 88 to 42.
That ended a 3 game losing streak for the defending county champion.
Cold Springs has come on for new coach Adam McKinnon with six victories in their last seven decisions.
The Eagles have hard working personnel such as Ayden Black, Ethan Day, Matt Williams, Tyson Kilgo and Bailey Gann. They played the Raiders a competitive 1st half before Good Hope pulled away on December 9 at home by the final of 88 to 54.
