Final from the Bill Hollifield Gym, and from on the Mickie Tuttle Court, at Western Guilford HS, where the Hornets top the Page Pirates, 47-46, in Round One of the Girls Metro 4-A Conference Tournament…Toni Noland hits a clutch shot for the Hornets, to give Western the Win/”W”, in the final seconds of the contest…Leila Henderson also hit some key free throws late for Western, as the Hornets get themselves a victory in one of those candidates for “The Game of the Week, the Game of the Month, and the Game of the Year”, all rolled into one…
We talked to the Western Guilford girls head coach Gina Miga, and to the young Lady Hornet who hit the game-winning shot, Toni Noland, and you can hear our interview, when you CLICK ON BELOW for the Victory Video….

Page out-scored WG, 15-2 in the Third Quarter, but Western Guilford persevered, and the WG defense got to Page in the closing minutes of the contest…WG hits some big boards, and when Page lost Kennedy Leggett to fouls, WG took advantage of Page, and forced Page to make some crucial mistakes, WG gets the HUGE victory…..
Close to being a three, but goes down as a two-point shot for Toni Noland, to win it for the Western Guilford Hornets…
Round 1 Piedmont Triad 4A conference tournament. Great win tonight against Page! 47-46

Heard Page-SE boys game had a lot of drama in the final minute, despite the lopsided score.
Anyone have details?
Yes
Yes but Andy does not want us talking about it.
Can’t even find the score on MaxPreps on that one, and it is a good idea to move on from that game, to the next round of the tournaments….Boys and Girls, from the Metro 4-A and Mid-State 3-A will be in action tomorrow night, and hope to have all of those scores for you…
Not sure how tight any of the Semifinal games will be, but we should have some real good games, coming up on Friday night…
Page at Western Guilford was a tight one last night…WG over Page, 47-46, and it went down to the wire…Looking for more good and close games like that one, as the Tourneys roll on…
We were at WG last evening, and a very big win for the Lady Hornets…
Well I tried to find an updated score…still nothing on MaxPreps for that SE-Page game.
After looking at their schedules, Page has 12 forfeits this season? That’s insane, I’m guessing an ineligible player?
Once second semester hits for these winter sports, eligibility stuff may pop up.
Not sure why issues at games can’t be discussed here in a informational manner….no need for all the details.
Many times the drama gets too thick…
And the forfeits should have been at 7 for overall games, and 5 for conference games…
Good to keep it all above board, leave the backroom stuff to those who want to head in that direction…
If we can all keep it in the road, let’s keep it in the road, and keep posting on a good level…
SE game vs Page resumes tonight
Final Score from Tuesday night:
Southeast Guilford boys 60, Page 45
