Braves pull away in fourth over Sigourney

The stakes couldn’t be much higher, the winner moves on to play at the State tournament while the loser has their season end that close to making it onto the Big Stage. Those were the options for Sigourney and Montezuma when the two squads met up in Williamsburg on February 18 for the Regional 5 Final. Sigourney hung around for much of the game, but Montezuma used a big finish to win it 45-26.

The two teams had met up earlier in the season with Sigourney nearly pulling off a huge upset at home. Both teams struggled to find any consistent offense, but the Braves did just enough to win an ugly game 26-24. In their second meeting, Montezuma entered as the third ranked team in 1A while Sigourney had also made their way into the mix, ranked 15th.

The Lady Savages knew they’d have their hands full with Shateah Wetering and for most of the game, they managed to keep her in check. They also knew that in order to beat Montezuma, they’d have to win with defense and keep the score low. They also accomplished that goal for a good chunk of the game.
