Jeff Hart Recent Articles by Jeff HartJohnson’s first foray into playoff basketball in three years was rudely interrupted by Shaw Wednesday night. Buford used a big first quarter run to pull away from Cedar Grove early and then held on for a 61-43 win Wednesday night in the first round of the Class AAA tournament. Collins Hill did not drop a set beating West Hall 5-0 Wednesday in boys tennis action at the Bobby Bailey Tennis Center. Despite what looked to be a dominating 56-38 win over Woodward Academy in the first round of the Class AAA playoffs Tuesday night at home, Buford girls coach Gene Durden said they are still growing as a team. The Flowery Branch girls basketball team shot just 34 percent for the game, and just 24 percent from 3-point range, but still pushed Allatoona every step of the way before eventually falling 55-49 on Tuesday in the first round of the Class AAAAA state playoffs. The Dawson County girls are making the most of their first trip to the playoffs in 11 years. West Hall swept the doubles and won two tight singles matches to pull out a closer-than-the-score-indicated 4-1 win over Duluth Tuesday in boys tennis action for its first win of the season. The North Hall boys tennis team knocked off rival Chestatee 4-1 Tuesday in their season opener. The North Hall girls swept the doubles in taking a 4-1 win over Chestatee Tuesday in tennis action. The Johnson baseball team opened its season with a 7-1 win over Tallulah Falls on Monday at home. Even Gainesville, which is coming off a Final Four appearance last year in Class AAA, won’t be immune to the biggest question surrounding the upcoming high school baseball season: uncertainty. Despite starting the season 2-7 and 0-5 in Region 8-AAAAA play, Gainesville coach Todd Cottrell never doubted for a second that his group could still win the region title. The Flowery Branch girls basketball team finished a disappoting Region 8-AAAAA tournament with a 54-38 loss to Cedar Shoals in the third place game Saturday night. Shaquan Cantrell poured in 20 points and grabbed eight rebounds to lead Gainesville to a 62-54 win over host Apalachee Friday night in the Region 8-AAAAA semifinals. North Hall’s Ethan Smith didn’t start the game against East Hall. But he certainly helped finish it Friday night in the semifinals of the Region 7-AAA tournament. One bad quarter cost the Flowery Branch girls from a shot at the Region 8-AAAAA title. Dawson County girls coach Steve Sweat has been waiting seven years for a shot at a region title. He and his Lady Tigers will get their chance Saturday night against Buford in the finals after both teams took semifinal wins Friday night. It was hard to tell if Buford boys coach Allen Whitehart was serious or not when he described his team’s defensive play as “bipolar.” When the Johnson boys offense is clicking, its a thing of beauty to watch. Although Stephens County may describe it more of a nightmare after Thursday night. Chestatee girls basketball coach Web Daniel and his Lady War Eagles are still looking for their first-ever region title. And they are hoping that experience over the past season of playing in high-pressure finals like Lanierland and last year’s Region 8-AAA final will help them Friday night when they take on Madison County for the Region 8-AAAA title at the Johnson gym.
