Meigs 7th graders run past Gallipolis, 49-40

[jottings]

Visiting Meigs took advantage of several Gallipolis turnovers and missed shots to hand the Gallipolis seventh graders a 49-40 setback on the Washington School hardwood Wednesday evening in a makeup contest.

The loss in Gallipolis' regular season final left the Little Devils with an 8-5 record, and the Meigs win avenged an earlier season 38-26 setback to the Gallians. Meigs substituted freely during the evening, using all 11 players and that seemed to wear out the Gallians. who used only seven players in the 24-minute contest.

Meigs led 12-9, 21-17 and 35-29 at the quartermarks.

Thusrsday's home game with South Point has been cancelled.

Will there be any post-season games for the Gallia junior high teams? If not, Gallipolis should have its own invitatiional. They used to host post-season events in the 1970s and 1980s.

I agree. We need to have boys and girls.

I think the 7th grade boys are in the post season tourny @ Trimble begining 2/16. They paly Alex first round.

Viked man...Gallipolis' 7th graders had a pizza party last night, then turned their uniforms in. That would suggest they are finished for the year with an 8-5 mark.

Maybe so, but they are on a tournament bracket sent by Trimble to VC.
Maybe a misprint? They are to play Alex. on Sat 2/16 @ Trimble Middle School, according to this sheet I have.

I asked Coach Hopkins if they was in a tournament over this past weekend, and he told me they did not get into one.

Yes this is true, I was told they were invited, but didn't want to come.
They were on the bracket to play Alex Sat @ 9, but now Logan will play the improving Spartans, and we (VC) will play Trimble @ high noon!
A great Sat of jr hi basketball @ trimble Middle school on the 16th beginning at 9:00 am. Only thing I must play-and-go in order to get to Wellston to watch the Vikings play in their Sectional game at 3:00.
Good luck to all teams in the tournament.
