Once the South Medford girls got through their brutal non-conference schedule undefeated, talks of a perfect season became a very real possibility, but the one game that could trip up the Panthers is a match-up with Crater on the Comets' home court.
South won the previous meeting 64-45
Highlights:
1 - First quarter... Comets playing well.. Kelly Ferris to Brittany Scott for the lay-up... Down 1
2 - Then Kassidy Cobb drives for a runner... Comets trailed 18-14 after one
3 - Second quarter, panthers taking over... Andee Ritter goes coast to coast for two... 22-14

South wins 63-44.
Eagle Point's 9-7 record may not blow you away, but the Eagles are still ranked in the top 10 in both the coach's poll and OSAA's power rankings. That's largely in part to Eagle Point's strength of schedule, third toughest in 5-A behind Ashland and Mountain View.
The schedule not getting easier as the Eagles host 15-1 North Valley.
Highlights:
1 - Second quarter, Eagles down one... Jonathan Bolston for two
2 - EP up 6 now... Just before the half, Kevin Brazille steal and lay-up... 30-26
3 - Start of the third... Zach Reed strong move... And one... 35-26
4 - North Valley hanging around... Brazille to Dylan Vandeyhey for three... 37-31
5 - Wouldn't get closer than that... Tyrone Holmes, great spin down low for the lay-up... Up 12 after three
6 - Then in the fourth... Bolston the steal... Lay-up... And foul
Eagle Point wins big... 70-53.
