Sport Week in Review

Sports Corner

By Dawn Simmons - Downtown-West Atlanta Macaroni Kid Publisher/Editor April 6, 2017

Here is the sports round-up from March 26 through April 4.



We have to start off of course with “The Big Dance” the Final Four…


UCS Lady Gamecocks took the victory over Mississippi in an exciting game (67 - 55).  Mississippi came out with a bang and jumped to a 6 -0 lead and lead throughout the 1 quarter.  But, as I expected the Lady Gamecocks dug in and played their game.  Led by A’Ja they took the victory to their first championship.  #girlsballtoo  #sometimesbetterthanboys





North Carolina fellas did not disappoint as they took the victory over Gonzaga (71 - 65).  Personally I was routing for the underdog the “Zags” and they fought a good fight but not quite enough to win.  There were a couple of calls by refs that I think were off but it’s in the books now.
