Hoops tourney title games this week

The Bartow-Gordon Middle School Athletic Association (BGMSAA) 2014-15 basketball championship tournaments move into their final week with three of four title games established and one set of semifinals ready for Tuesday.

All but one of the tournaments’ top seeds remained in contention for both regular season and tournament titles through last Saturday’s games.

In the girls’ tournament, the top two seeds have advanced to Wednesday’s title game. Top-seeded Calhoun held off Adairsville 42-37 in one semifinal, while Cartersville eliminated Cass 22-12.

The boys’ tournament is the only division with semifinals yet to be played. The boys’ semifinals are set for Tuesday. Top-seeded Cass faces Woodland and Cartersville plays Calhoun. The winners will advance to Thursday’s championship game.

The biggest upset occurred in the JV girls’ bracket where host Adairsville upset top-seeded Calhoun 24-21 in the semifinals. The JV Lady Tigers will face second-seeded Cartersville Wednesday for the JV girls’ tournament championship.

The JV Adairsville girls beat Cass 23-20 for the right to face Calhoun in the semifinals. Cartersville’s JV girls edged Woodland 26-22 to reach the finals.

In the JV boys’ division, top-seeded Cartersville advanced to meet second-seeded Cass in Thursday’s title game. The Cartersville JV boys were 45-19 winners over Adairsville in the semifinal round. The Cass JV boys eliminated Calhoun 42-25.
