The 2019 Scott County Basketball Tournament is in the record books and this year’s tournament was dominated by the Forest High School Bearcats. Both the boys and girls teams played some great basketball on the hardwood at Lake High School last week and came away as Scott County basketball champions.
The Scott Central Rebels gave everyone a season to remember in 2018. The Rebels started off the season with a new coach, high hopes and seniors who vowed not to fall short of winning a championship. Here’s a recap.
Game 1: SC 43 – Enterprise 14
The rain held off all day on game day last Friday until just before kickoff of the 2A North Championship game between Scott Central and Calhoun City. On more than one occasion in the first half it was raining so hard that it was hard to see the players on the football field.
During the 2018 Mississippi 2A High School Football playoffs it has become very clear that the Scott Central Rebels are on a championship mission.
The Scott Central Rebels have gotten better each week since the one loss they suffered on the season. Back on October 19, the Rebels suffered a heartbreaking loss to then undefeated Pelahatchie High School.
The Scott Central Rebels had another dominating performance last Friday night in their 34-0 2A playoff victory over the South Delta Bulldogs. The Rebels again came out of the gates running and before the visiting Bulldogs knew what hit them the Rebels had jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter.
The Lake Hornets hosted the Union Yellowjackets last Friday night. Both teams came into the game very evenly matched and picking a winner was a toss-up. Lake came in on a five game winning streak and looking to win at home and then take a week off to prepare for cross county rival Scott Central.
The Forest Bearcats knew going into last Friday night’s game that they did not want to end up in a high scoring game with the 2017 Class 2A state runner-up Winona Tigers.
