May not see another game like this one for a while, but you never know with four teams at (5-2) in Girls Metro

Southern Alamance 60
….
One of the better games you will see this year, girls or boys and that was a thriller in the ‘House that Mac Built’ tonight/Wednesday…..

There are now four teams at (5-2) in the Metro girls race with:
Dudley(5-2)
Page(5-2)
Southern Alamance(5-2)
Southeast Guilford(5-2)
Alphabetical order….

Game tonight/Wednesday was SA 17-11 end of one quarter, 28-24 at the half SA, 37-35 SA at the end of three periods and then Page with 62-60 final for the win….

Paris Kea and Shaylen Burnett are two very special players and we have been lucky to have to opportunity to watch them play over the past years in the Metro 4-A….

Paris with 38 tonight and Shay with 29 and Emily Casper was clutch for Page at the foul line late in the contest and Vivian Polite came up with two big 4th quarter baskets…

Shay came to play and she almost willed here team to a win….April Kelly was big and she had to miss some key minutes when her ankle gave her trouble, but she had that hook shot working tonight…..

The threes by Paris Kea in the second half were unreal…She was knocking them down right and left and it seemed like the left side was her best spot..

Great game and here goes the Metro 4-A into the stretch run…..

Super job by both teams and thanks for the memories that we will have from this ballgame….

Here’s those totals again from this evening’s showcase contest and close, man was it close and tight down the home stretch….Kargo gave Kea some strong support and as somebody said one time before, Paris has the Kea that makes the Kargo….You also have to give a solid A-1 job turned in by Alexus McGaugh and Kelsey Durham tonight….There were tough for the Patriots…..Pats and Pirates, some kind of matchups, when they get together…Last year at Page, it was OT and Page pulled it out…This a one possesion game in regulation…Hard to put this one down and let it go…..Whale of a night and good fuel for the future meetings…..

Page (14-6, 5-2)
Kea, Paris – 38
Kargo, Campbell – 15
Casper, Emily – 4
Polite, Vivian – 4
Sherman, Tiana – 1

Southern Alamance (18-2, 5-2)
Burnett, Shaylen – 29
Kelly, April – 11
Durham, Kelsey – 7
McGaugh, Alexus – 6
Smith, Kelby – 2
Haugie, Jenna – 2
Rose, Mariah – 2
Roseboro, Makayla – 1

  1. The metro 4A is crazy this year. It will be interesting to see who wins it all. You have 4 great teams right there and they are all very deserving. Can’t wait to see what happens.

  2. The four top teams will do well in the state playoffs. Still over all it is the best 4a conference in the state. Nothing “lose” about that, it’s fact.
    Go look at Alexander Central’s schedule on Maxpreps, no way that they could hang in the metro. Yet the are highly ranked. I guess we will see how it all shakes out shortly.

  3. Seems that I heard only the top 3 teams make the state palyoffs this year in the Metro?which would mean one of those teams wont make it. Gonna come down to the wire!!!

  4. Well we know that one of those teams will be us “PAGE” because we have the right set of “KEAS”! Now the rest will have to figure out where they fit in!

  5. I am hearing that it is possible that the #4 team could get a wild card spot in the tournament. Wouldn’t that be cool if the #4 team got in and won the state!

  6. One thing is for certian, Paris Kea and Shay Burnett have done a very good job of helping to put girls/womens basketball on the map in Guilford and Alamance counties….Rouse, Currie, Shutt, Grinage, Burgins, Spurr, Chandler and many other seniors too, but Kea and Burnett, they have left and stamp and it has been one of positive reinforcement for girls basketball…

    Interest is growing….

  7. I agree Andy – interest is growing. I hope the good female players do not transfer to the private schools like many of the good male players do.

  8. Burnett and Kea HAVE left a positive stamp on this conference (and they both seem like really good kids in general) but their fans sadly have not. 2 very different style of players so the comparisons are ignorant. They both are going to great schools that they CHOSE. If the 4-A metro wants to be respected in the State then be respectable. AAU rivalry has no place in the high school discussion.

  9. @observer

    The fans for girl’s basketball at Page are rabid. It isn’t just for SA games either. I guarantee that will last around here for a while, and it helps that schools like Dudley and Page are attracting talent OVER private schools.

    I don’t remember which player went to GDS from Page but I bet she regrets leaving.

  10. @ Observer- You are absolutely correct in the above statements. I will try not to stoop down to Tim’s (coach that is) level and just enjoy watching the lady patriots complete the mission.

  11. Paris Kea is better than any private or public school girls basketball player in the area. The gap is so wide that second place is whomever any one wants to throw in there just to fill in some blanks.

  12. observer

    We are quite sure all the girls that play are nice so that is a blanket statement. We are talking about basketball and one just happens to be better and her name is Paris Kea.

  13. Pat attack : observer just called you a sad fan and you agreed , that’s priceless my number one true SA fan. Keep it up makes me want to move SnowCamp more every day

  14. ANY private or public school players? WOW….In the whole wide world? UCONN must have been upset!

  15. @Ignorant Lady Phoenix- Ms Burnett could have played in the ACC, Your SEC, Big East, Big 10. She has been recruited by almost every conference in the land. I do know this, she CHOSE Elon and was extremely excited about it. By the way, its not the SoCon It’s the CAA she will be playing in.

  16. Patattack mad now. He’s throwing all out there now. Somebody give him a shovel before he falls in it

  17. @Patattack you need to stick with HS Basketballonly bc Elon is in the SoCon. Must be at SnowCamp education.

  18. There are two teams who will not bow down to Paris. Southwest and Andrews guards have no respect for no other guards. Greensboro people just think they are better than burlington, winston, and high point people. That is why southern alamance wants respect. Paris doesnt want it with Imani Watkins.

  19. The signings took place in november, press release was last week and Elon moves to the CAA with Shay next season. Now who knows what?
