Six of the Top 10 teams in the final AP poll will lock horns in the Spartans' portion of the bracket in the first round, which quickly should create some fireworks. Bainbridge beat the Cougars 66-54 in the first round last season. With their quickness and aggressive style of play we're going to have to take care of the ball and rebound well. There was probably four or five teams last year that were legitimate contenders. This year, there's more.
White River is the highest ranked team in the top half of the bracket.
Led by point guard Trisha Hermanson, the Hornets are in the midst of a 19-game winning streak, and face Lakeside today. Bainbridge senior Nicole Hebner feels the Spartans can be successful if they stick to what they do best. Our goal was to go to state. In my opinion, we can match up well with anyone in the state if we just play our game.
