Macon County defeated Marion County Friday night 93 to 27.

Meanwhile Upperman girls (26-5) eliminated Bledsoe County Friday night 81 to 42 while York Institute (19-12) won at Cumberland County 64 to 57.

Upperman and York Institute will meet in the Region Semi-Finals.

In the previous meetings this season, the Lady Tigers lost to Macon County 78 to 54 in Smithville on January 17, 67 to 33 at Lafayette on February 11, and 57 to 31 in the District Tournament on February 21.

Coach Fish said he and the team understand what is at stake in tonight’s game.

“Its our biggest opportunity of the year. It’s a win or go home game. Both teams have played well to get to this point in the year. Getting to the region tournament is something we had on our list of to do things this year and we wanted to have this opportunity to get back to the sub state. At this point everybody is very good and we just happen to be playing the number one team in the state but if you want to be the best you have to beat the best. We are going to be prepared. We will be doing things a little bit different tonight. We will scheme a little different and hopefully our big players will come to play. At Sequatchie County it looked a little bit more fluid for us and a little more of what I think we should be by attacking the rim and we got to the line a bunch. Hopefully we can continue those things tonight and put Macon County in some different situations than they have been in previously against us,” said Coach Fish.
