March to State Continues with High-Stakes Regionals

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ramsey vs Fairfield&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Northwest regional foes Ramsey (23-8) and Fairfield (26-2) clash for a trip to the state semifinals. Ramsey relies on a balanced scoring attack led by Junior forward [player_tooltip player_id='1753239' first='Jayden' last='Williams'] and his 14 points per game. Fairfield boasts one of the top defenses in 5A, holding teams under 50 points per game this season. The Tigers will look to slow down Ramsey's offensive rhythm in this matchup. Expect a low-scoring defensive battle.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Valley vs Demopolis&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Valley (22-1) comes into this Southwest regional matchup riding a 10-game winning streak. Demopolis (17-5) is coming off an upset win over Greenville in the semifinals. Valley has the edge in talent led by senior forward Cam'Ron Dooley 24 points and 10 rebounds per game. But Demopolis plays scrappy defense and has the shooters to keep it close. A berth to the state tournament is on the line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Guntersville vs Scottsboro</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Northeast regional opponents Guntersville (18-10) and Scottsboro (19-8) face off for a trip to the final four. Guntersville does damage from the outside with their three-point shooting, knocking down 10 threes per game. Scottsboro has the size inside to counter with 6'6" senior forward Jameson Gray averaging 13 points and 9 rebounds. The battle of outside shooting vs interior offense will determine who moves on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Vigor vs Charles Henderson</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Southwest foes Vigor (26-6) and Charles Henderson (21-10) meet in the regional finals. Vigor has athleticism and speed across its roster led by lightning-quick guards, Charles Henderson counters with size in the post and disciplined half-court offense. If Vigor can impose their uptempo pace, they'll advance. But Charles Henderson will look to slow things down and pound the ball inside. This contrast of styles sets up a great matchup.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1753239"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Jaden Williams is Ramsey's leading scorer at 18 points per game.
