GDW Analysis:
PRICEVILLE: Looking to complete a great first full week of playing with new coach Tammy West, the Cullman Lady Bearcats are involved in a classic from Priceville High School Saturday.
The 2nd annual Lady Bulldog Classic has a lineup of great girls' assignments that starts at 10:30 a.m. with Muscle Shoals vs. Lee Huntsville and finishes at 7:30 p.m. as Cullman and Priceville square off.
The Lady 'Cats are 3 & 0 after they romped over Cordova 75 to 7 Thursday evening from Bearcat Arena.
Priceville is 1 & 0. The Lady Bulldogs claimed a 51 to 37 victory November 8 against Grissom in a game played at Hazel Green High School.
Cullman's experience with Molly Wilson in the middle, Molly Dorough on the wing, Rachel Hoffman in low post and Kadence Hanback as the shooting guard have displayed two good outings for the week in defeating Arab on Veterans Day 54 to 41 at Wallace State and the one sided triumph over Cordova.
The PG in the start of the West era is 7th grader Katherine Ugarkovich. Ugarkovich has shown smoothness in a key position on the floor with it being her first season playing in the high school level.
With Shane Childress in his 2nd year at Priceville, the Lady Bulldogs are out to make another run to carry them deep in the playoffs as they encountered last season.
Priceville appeared in the Sweet 16 of Class 5A, meeting eventual state winner Scottsboro in the Northwest Regional from Wallace State.
The Lady Bulldogs have two talented seniors in shooting guard Josie Childress and center Abby Langlois to lead the squad.
Very good schedule for fans to enjoy:
College football draws attention from many, but the Priceville Classic is a huge draw of the quality of schools that will be in Morgan County on Saturday.
10:30 - Lee Huntsville vs. Muscle Shoals
12:00 - Bob Jones vs. Hoover
1:30 - Albertville vs. Hazel Green
3:00 - Hale Co. vs. Decatur Heritage
4:30 - West Point vs. Arab
6:00 - Russellville vs. Buckhorn
7:30 - Cullman vs. Priceville
West Point and Arab is a rematch from last year in the Northwest Regional when Arab upset West Point in the 5A semifinal 51 to 50.
Albertville comes in with a talented team that was seen by Gameday Weekly last weekend in the Fairview Tip Off Classic.
Muscle Shoals is led by junior Makenzie Sears who scored 30 points at Fairview last Saturday in their battle with Good Hope.
