Deer Creek (who eliminated Collinsville Thursday) eliminated East Central (48-43) from the 5A Girls Basketball Tournament Friday and will be in the finals Saturday. -- Ted 3/8/2013

This Shelbie Kirby basket with about 45 seconds left in the State Game -vs- Deer Creek tied the score at 40-all. Collinsville never led in the game and lost 40-42 to end their state title dreams. The Lady Cards were down 33-39 with 4 minutes left before a 7-1 run. East Central eliminated Dell City in the opening game that was just as close. -- more photos later. -- Ted 6:30pm Thursday 3/7/2013

Thanks Girls For Another Excellent Effort and Great Season

Note: There is considerable history for past CHS Girls Basketball (state) teams but I plan to keep the hardworking 2013 basketball ladies as the main story until their run at a 5A state title is complete later this week. The 1984 Collinsville Lady Cardinals were 3A State Champs. -- Ted Wright 3/4/2013 -- GOOD LUCK LADIES!!

The Collinsville Lady Cards (making their first State Tournament trip in a generation) fell behind by 10 by the end of the first quarter before outscoring Deer Creek 34-26 in the next 3 quarters. The rally fell just short after Collinsville finally tied the score at 40-40 with less than 45 seconds left in the game. Deer Creek scored again but Collinsville couldn't get a shot off in the final 7.4 seconds.
