South Central Calhoun faced off against a familiar opponent in Manson NW Webster Tuesday night in the Class 2A Region 8 Quarterfinal.
The Titans got the better of the Cougars in both of their regular season games, but this time both teams were fighting to keep their seasons alive. At the start, both teams struggled to keep their turnovers low and committed plenty of them.

The Titans eventually, behind a three-pointer from Sophie McKinney in the beginning parts of the quarter, were able to stay ahead by a score of 7-4. Manson NW Webster was able to get within two points at 9-7 at the start of the second quarter until Kylee Schliesman used her shiftiness to get inside the lane for a bucket to make it 11-7. Bre Patterson’s big night started off in the second quarter when she drained a three-pointer to give the Titans a 14-8 lead. Chloe Peterson for Manson NW Webster had some answers on the other end with two three-pointers that helped the Cougars keep the game close at halftime. South Central Calhoun held on to a four-point lead at 20-16.
Patterson’s long ball played a big part in the second half as the Titans as she drained another three-pointer to get the Titans ahead 23-18 and later 26-18 with another three-pointer. Both teams continued to struggle with turnovers late into the game, but South Central Calhoun, leading 28-21, put everything together in the fourth quarter. Defense is what led to the Titans coming away with the game late as the Cougars started to become frustrated. Schliesman had two back-to-back steals and Patterson again hit another three-point shot that started to solidify the win for South Central Calhoun. After the final buzzer went off, the Titans were victorious by a final score of 42-32.
