Wildcats vs. Jeeps
Take away a slow first quarter start by the Eastern Lady Eagles against the potent South Webster Lady Jeeps in the district final March 3, and the schedule for Thursday night’s regional semifinal at Pickerington North High School would have a much different feel. Instead, the only quarter of the game in which Eastern was outscored by South Webster proved to be the quarter that assured a matchup many in high school basketball are excited to see. It’s Kayla Cook vs. Sina King. South Webster (17-5) vs. Waterford (20-3). Cook, South Webster’s dynamic guard who was nominated, but did not make, the McDonald’s All-American list, will square off against King, the Waterford Lady Wildcats’ stellar forward, who is nationally ranked as the 72nd best player at her position by the College Girls Basketball Report, at 6:15 p.m. “We have to figure out a way to stop Kayla Cook, but they also have to figure out a way to stop Sina King,” said Waterford girls’ basketball coach Jerry Close.
