SPRING HILL —<\/strong> Weathering a hot Franklin start, Spring Hill iced out the Lady Admirals on Monday night — earning a spot in the District 11-AAA tournament semifinals and guaranteeing a berth in the Region 6-AAA tourney with a 52-39 win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spring Hill outscored Franklin 13-1 in the third quarter to take a commanding lead into the final frame. In fact, the Lady Raiders didn\u2019t allow a single point from the field until the final three minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think as the game went on, we played better and better,\u201d Spring Hill coach Matt Horton said. \u201cThey fought hard, had some adversity. (Our team) played through it, and I\u2019m proud of it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other than one practice Sunday afternoon, this was the first action either team had for nearly a week and a half, but the layoff wasn\u2019t much of a factor for Spring Hill\u2019s leading scorer, Sierra Stedman. The offense went through the senior forward, as she recorded 22 points in the win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the fourth quarter, Spring Hill\u2019s Cole Alderson, who had 12 points in the win, was assessed a pair of technical fouls, meaning she will miss the final two games of the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t condone what she did, but I do question the second one because their entire bench stood up and taunted her and when she kinda did something back, they gave her a technical,\u201d Horton said. \u201cI\u2019m not sure that was justified. The first one definitely was, she shouldn\u2019t have done what she did, but you can\u2019t let an entire bench stand up and taunt somebody.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the taste of victory and advancement in the tournament is fulfilling for Coach Horton, he says he\u2019s happiest for his players, and said he hopes the momentum of getting a district tournament win can push this team further into the postseason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For several members of the Lady Raiders\u2019 team, this is the culmination of many years of hard work and dedication to leaving the program better than they found it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou know, when I got here, it wasn\u2019t very good but they\u2019ve stuck it out and they\u2019ve been through some bad times so I feel really, really good for them and I\u2019m proud as I can be for them,\u201d Horton said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
