That Cherokee team was flat out relentless, I mean it was like Pamilco was playing 5 on 12 at times LOL
They shoot well, run the court well, rebound well, great passing, great spacing.. Just running non-stop

And this was against a team that had lost 1

I looked at Cherokees schedule they just beat down teams one score was like 105-7 or something like that

All gas and no breaks makes for fun basketball to watch. They have beat teams that bad for 3 years straight

Lion, they are even more impressive to watch in person which I have had the pleasure to see myself a few times. They literally can run any team at any level into the ground they never seem to get tired, All hands defense. As you might know, Ive seen and even covered a LOT of girls basketball games, but I have never seen a team quite like this GWY squad. Tall, thick, quick as cats, and play as physical as the game allows. I saw their first game of the season against 5A Franklin, which is a solid team. I think the halftime score was 50-8. and got worse even with a running clock. I predict they wont be quite as dominant next year with the graduation of Dvdaya Swimmer, but they will be still a formidable opponent for anybody.

That may well be true. As for Pamlico County, while not intending offense to them, if they had played in the SMC they likely wouldnt have made the playoffs at all. Lots of good teams in that conference, although nobody noticed because all eyes were on Cherokee. Andrews was good, Robbinsville made the title game in 1a, Murphy, Hayesville, Hiwassee Dam, even Highlands were respectable in the little SMC. All with winning records.
