The Pocahontas County High
School Lady Warriors Basketball
Team (10-7) will travel to Nicholas
County High School Thursday,
March 6, for the third time in two
weeks of post season play to meet
the Fayetteville High School Lady
Pirates (13-6) at 7:30 p.m. in the
West Virginia Class A Region V
Championship Game.
The winner will advance to the
Charleston Civic Center and com-
pete in the WV State Girls Basket-
ball Tournament on Wednesday,
March 12 at 9:30 p.m. versus the
winner of the Wheeling Central
( 14-7)/Valley Wetzel (20- I ) Region
I Final.
Last year both Fayetteville and
Pocahontas advanced to the state
tournament (final eight) by winning
Class A Regional championships
in different regions. Fayetteville is
led by 5'11'" Junior forward/guard
Jill Meadows who averages about
21 points per game and has sur-
passed the 1,000-point scoring pla-
teau.
Pocahontas County beat Midland
Trail 60-56 Saturday, March I, in
the rescheduled Region V Section I
championship final at Nicholas
County High School before a full
house of fans from both schools.
The scoring started slow until the
nervous players settled down and
the first quarter ended 14-13 in favor
of the Lady Patriots from Midland
Trail.
The second quarter was a low-
scoring 8-8 tie, so Trail took a one
point lead into the locker room at
the half. The Pocahontas County
post players, juniors Ashley Mc-
Nabb and Caroline McKean (the
McPost Girls!), scored all but two
of Pocahontas" first half points.
Midland Trail fouled McKean and
McNabb the entire game trying to
stop their constant trips to the bas-
ket. Trail was called for 11 fouls
the first half and 21 fouls in the
game. The Lady Wamors were only
called for four fouls the first half
and 12 in the game. McKean and
McNabb each shot 14 foul shots.
The tempo and the scoring picked
up considerably the second half
when 63% of the game scoring oc-
curred. Six girls scored for Poca-
hontas in the third quarter, At the
end of three quarters, the game was
deadlocked at 42-42.
Pocahontas finally started to pull
away in the fourth quarter as Amy
Carte's three-pointers kept Trail in
the game. With 1:10 to go in the
game, Pocahontas led 58-52. At the
4.2 second mark and with the Lady
Warriors up 59 to 56, the Pocahon-
tas fans and coaches protested when
the clock was reset to 7 seconds.
McKean was fouled twice during
the final seconds and when she
made one of the foul shots, the four
point margin of victory held. Mc-
Nabb stole the ball as Trail threw
the ball into play on the last play
of the game under our basket and
was driving for a lay up as time ex-
pired.
Pocahontas County had its best
rebounding game this year with 36
rebounds, 10 over their average of
26, and against a taller opponent.
The Lady Warriors shot 53% at
the free throw line and that is the
team average. Pocahontas was 17
for 32 and Trail was five for 14 at
the charity stripe.
The four junior starters led the
scoring for Pocahontas County.
McKean had her career high game
with a double-double of 21 points
and 13 rebounds plus three steals
and three assists.
McNabb equaled her career scor-
ing game with 20 points and added
6 rebounds, four steals, and one
assist. Always giving it her all,
Brittany Burner hit six of her eight
points in the second half and had
seven rebounds and one blocked
shot. Rachel Wayne hit all seven of
her points in the second half and
had five assists, five rebounds and
one steal.
Senior Malea Gum had five
steals and one blocked shot. Junior
Angela Foe and Gum scored two
points each in the high scoring
third quarter.
Coaches John Snyder, Tim Mc-
Clung and Kenny Lehman com-
mented that the team is still not
where they would have been if,they
had not missed four weeks of prac-
tice and had played the seven games
that were canceled.
If the Lady Warriors win Thurs-
day and advance to Charleston as
one of the elite eight for the second
time ever, financial support will be
needed to defray
