More Gleason Bulldog Basketball News

The Gleason Bulldogs and Lady Bulldogs may have been traveling down opposite roads during the 2006 Huntingdon High School Point Guard Classic.

In girls action, Gleason downed Franklin High School, 48-28 on Friday and survived overtime to inch past the Collinwood Lady Trojanettes, 54-51, on Saturday night.

Meanwhile, the Bulldogs suffered a pair of losses, falling to Riverside, 50-38, on Friday and also losing to the Trojans of Collinwood, 82-36, on Saturday night.

Trailing by as much as seven points in the final frame, Collinwood put together a 7-0 run late in the fourth frame with Hannah Daniel adding a basket and free throw combination, while Abby Andrews made a turnaround jumper to help inch CHS closer. With 2:02 remaining in regulation, Trista Rich sank the tying bucket.

Gleason's Kayla Hudson and Andrews exchanged four free throws each, before Gleason took one last chance.

With just over three seconds left, Kim Edenfield found herself with the ball. Finally she dished off for a final Lady Bulldog shot that came off the front rim, setting up the extra period.

The Lady Trojanettes won the jump ball with Andrews quickly adding a jumper.

After methodically planning for an open shot, Hudson drained a trifecta as Gleason went back ahead by one point.

Andrews added in a long jumper on the next trip down court to give the lead back to Collinwood.

Lady Dawg Taylor Stout was wide open under the bucket for a shot after Andrews fouled out with a charge, as Gleason went ahead 52-51.

After a CHS miscue, Hudson was fouled with 2.6 ticks left on the clock in OT. The Union University signee sank both free throws, continuing a streak of 57 consecutive foul shots made. Overall, Hudson has nailed 81-of-84 (96 percent) from the charity stripe on the season.

Collinwood attempted one last ditch effort with 1.4 remaining on the clock, but it was to no avail as the Lady Bulldogs held on for the 54-51 win.

Gleason enjoyed a 9-3 lead after one frame as Riley Auvenshine tossed in a bucket and went long distanced with a trey in the stanza.

CHS inched closer in the second quarter, trailing by four, 22-18 at halftime. Hudson put in a double dose of trifectas in the second quarter to help Gleason to its halftime advantage.

Candace Green added in a pair of trifectas for the Lady Dawgs in a closely played third quarter with Gleason ahead by six points, 34-28.

Hudson led Gleason (13-0) with 33 points in the win, while Andrews, Daniel and Rich all had double-digit efforts for Collinwood (9-2) with 15, 13 and 12 points, respectively.

The Lady Bulldogs also took home a victory on Friday night, owning the Franklin Lady Rebelettes (6-8) with a key 21-9 besting in the second stanza, en route to a 48-28 victory.

In the second stanza run, Hudson swished a pair of treys with Edenfield tossing in one from beyond the arc.

The Gleason Lady Bulldogs remained on top of the District 14-A standings with a victory against the Union City Lady Tornadoes by a much slimmer margin than the game play merited, 41-37, Friday night at Gleason Gym.

In the nightcap, it was the student versus the teacher, as GHS first-year head coach Lee Lawrence took on his former high school coach Shane Sisco. Sisco's Union City Tornadoes won in a mismatch of epic proportions, as a fine-tuned UC team dismantled the injury stricken and less experienced pack of Bulldogs by the final of 89-18.

In the opener, Gleason controlled the first half, forcing bad shots by the Lady Tornadoes, en route to an early 16-6 lead midway through the second stanza.

During the first quarter alone, freshman Jenna Frazier began scoring with senior Kayla Hudson hitting a pair of free throws and a trifecta en route to Gleason taking a 7-2 lead at the buzzer.

However, for every stop Gleason made, the Lady Bulldogs were unable to capitalize, allowing Union City back into the game. Gleason held a small 19-17 edge at halftime.

Gleason began the second quarter strong with Hudson knocking in two buckets, and Taylor Stout adding in her first score of the night. Gleason's Kim Edenfield sank a pair of trifectas in the frame, but Union City came alive late in the quarter to pull within a pair, down 19-17 at the break.

Riley Auvenshine swished a trey early in the third quarter, as Gleason dominated the frame, besting UC 11-4 before a freshman miscue near the buzzer gave Union City new life and three freebies. Debrisha Robinson threw up a prayer from halfcourt near the end of the third with Frazier foolishly fouling the Lady Tornado shooter. Robinson went to the line and hit three free throws to cut the Lady Bulldogs' lead to 30-24 after three quarters.

Early in the fourth, it appeared the late miscue might come back to bite Gleason with Union City (6-3) beginning the stanza with a 7-0 run that included taking the lead on a Labrica Ward score.

Frazier made 1-of-2 free throws, as did Ward to keep Union City ahead by one point before Hudson made two charity tosses with 4:17 remaining in the fourth quarter.

UC's Allison McCullough swooshed a trifecta, before Hudson's next pair of freebies tied the game at 35-all.

Gleason went into last-shot mode after gaining possession with just over two minutes remaining in the game. Hudson drew a foul off Robinson and made both free throws after Gleason passed the ball around for a minute and a half.

Not to be outdone, McCullough, quickly tied the game up driving in the lane.

Taylor Stout made a bank shot on Gleason's next possession with 3.7 seconds remaining to put the Lady Dawgs in front.

Union City took a timeout to talk strategy. After the huddle, the ball was inbounded with another timeout being called after one pass, so the Lady Tornadoes could have the ball closer to their bucket.

The next inbound pass was heavily guarded, flying over everyone's heads across the basketball court with no contact and towards the Gleason stands for a turnover.

Hudson was fouled after the miscue, sinking both free throws, as Gleason held on to win, 41-37.

In the nightcap, many Gleason fans got a step-up on getting home early as Union City led 28-0 in the first quarter before a late steal by Byron Fuqua stopped Gleason from being shutout in the frame.

Fuqua again scored in the second quarter, as the former 2A powerhouse and defending Class A state champ Tornadoes (10-0) led 52-4 at halftime.

Fuqua sank a pair of trifectas in the third quarter with Ethan Lowrance scoring on a steal, and Josh Sumner also tossing in a score along the way.

However, the game was well past over, with Union City coasting to an 89-18 victory.

With the banners hanging in the Peabody gym the only reminder of their state championship runs, the Gleason Lady Bulldogs proved they are the here and now in Trenton on Tuesday night. The Lady Dawgs opened with a 13-3 first quarter on coasted to a 48-35 win.

Gleason's boys squad, looking for its first win of the season, used a 7-0 GHS run to start the game, but Peabody closed the frame with a 9-0 run, never relinquishing the lead en route to a 66-52 victory.

In girls action, Gleason allowed only three free throws in the first frame, while Kayla Hudson, Taylor Stout, Riley Auvenshine and Jenna Frazier all found the net for Lady Dawgs. Hudson added a layup and a two free throws in the quarter. Auvenshine swooshed a trey to help build Gleason's 13-3 lead after a quarter.

Senior Candace Green's seven points helped Gleason coast though the second quarter to a 22-13 lead at halftime.

Green swooshed two trifectas in the third. Stout also made a long-range effort as Gleason led by 17 points, 39-22, after three.

Gleason coasted, going 7-of-8 from the charity stripe in the fourth quarter to win 48-33.

Green led Gleason (6-0) with 17 points, while Hudson totaled 16 points. Lexi Hamm was the leading scorer for Peabody (1-5) with an 11-point effort.

In the nightcap, Peabody (4-2) was cold from beyond the arc for much of the first half.

Gleason freshman Evan Orr sank two free throws to begin the game followed by an Ethan Lowrance jumper for the Dawgs. Orr drilled a trey for the final GHS score of the frame.

Peabody took control, scoring nine unanswered points to lead 9-7 after a quarter.

Dawg senior Byron Fuqua tied the game for the final time early in the second quarter. With Peabody's long range efficiency increasing, the Tide led 23-17.

Controversy surrounded the end of the first half, as Lowrance hit a buzzer-beating shot, only for it to be taken off the scoreboard due to an air horn being blown within the crowd, fooling the officials.

Gleason got the ball with 2.0 seconds left to accommodate for the unsportsmanlike tactic, but Colin Bennett's shot fell short.

Bennett made a trey in the third frame, yet PHS powered to a 44-26 lead after three quarters.

In the final frame, Fuqua and Orr treys and Josh Sumner's nine points were not enough to overcome the gigantic Peabody advantage in the 66-52 win.

Tuesday night's victory over the Lake County Lady Falcons did not erase the heartbreaking regional tournament loss that the Gleason Lady Bulldogs suffered last season, but it may have helped to close the wound, as Gleason downed their adversary from Tiptonville by the final of 38-32.

In the nightcap, Gleason never gave up, but the Lake County offense was a bit too much to handle with the Falcons wrapping up a victory over the GHS boys, 56-31.

In the opener, Gleason (3-0) held a 7-2 lead early in the first quarter off a trey and bucket by Riley Auvenshine, complimented by a Kayla Hudson basket.

However, the Lady Falcons allowed just a free throw the rest of the way, leading 12-8 after one quarter.

Gleason allowed one early score in the second quarter, before reeling off a 21-0 run to end the half. Hudson sank two long-range trifectas and a pair of closer baskets, while Taylor Stout and Kim Edenfield each stepped up for their first scores of the night during the outburst.

Gleason's lead slipped from 15 at halftime to just eight, as Lake County mounted a comeback in the third quarter, out-pacing the Lady Dawgs 11-4 overall in the quarter.

Lake County pulled within two points midway through the final frame, trailing 33-31. However, Gleason senior Candace Green sank a free throw and Hudson sank another pair to ice the game for GHS.

Hudson led Gleason with 19 points in the victory, while Lake County (1-1) was powered by Renita Kinney with 17 points.

In the boys game, four 3-pointers made for an early LC advantage with the Falcons leading 17-7 after a frame.

Byron Fuqua scored Gleason's first five points. Teammate Josh Sumner, making his season debut after being out with what was originally thought to be a more severe ankle injury, contributed a hoop before the end of the first quarter.

Fuqua scored a basket and trey in the second quarter with Cody Ezell rounding out GHS scoring. Still, Lake County took a commanding 31-14 lead into the locker room.

Last season, the Gleason Lady Bulldogs were one of the odds-on favorites in District 7-A.

Gleason, however, suffered a heartbreaking defeat to Lake County in the Region 7-A semifinals, cutting their season short of accomplishing the goal of reaching a state tournament.

With the loss, Gleason also had a turnover of much talent, graduating three key pieces of the Lady Bulldog puzzle from last year's team that finished with a record of 31-3.

However, what might be considered the box that holds all the puzzle pieces together is returning for her senior season at point guard. Miss Basketball nominee, Class A All-State selection and recent Union University signee Kayla Hudson will again force the ball down court to an array of different options for the Lady Bulldogs' offense.

Candace Green returns at the shooting guard position, hoping to overcome an injury during early practices to be ready for opening night. At forward, Riley Auvenshine hopes to bounce back from ACL surgery that forced the GHS junior to miss nearly half of her sophomore campaign.

Freshmen Taylor Stout and Jenna Frazier become Gleason's first starting freshmen players since Hudson four years ago at forward and center, respectively.

With a core of younger players, Head Coach Randy Frazier knows the keys to success for the Lady Bulldogs are Auvenshine, Hudson and Green, sprinkled with some moments of improvement by their younger counterparts.

Also, helping to balance between the underclassmen and senior class will be Kim Reynolds, who will see some action in her final GHS season.

Frazier commented, "The freshmen and other inexperienced players must develop and improve for us to be competitive."

Joining Frazier on the sidelines will be Joel Ayers, who has spent the past two seasons as an assistant boys basketball coach at GHS.

And so, with another season on the horizon, the Lady Bulldogs and their veteran coach embark on another season with many wondering if this is yet again Gleason putting on its best poker face with a great outcome again in the cards. Source: Weakley County Press.

Under New Coach, Gleason Boys Anxious to Build on Victories

By Kenneth Coker, Sports Writer, Weakley County Press

With the Gleason Bulldogs coming off a season that in years past would have won the District 7-A regular season title, the Dawgs are hungry for improvement.

Despite defeating the traditional opponents of Dresden, Greenfield and South Fulton for a 5-1 overall mark in what was the old district alignment, the addition of Humboldt, Union City and Lake County stole the thunder from Gleason's upward swing.

The Bulldogs only lost a pair of players from last season's roster due to graduation, but they will be without their center for the season. Jacob Howington suffered a torn ACL during a Week 0 football game, sidelining the Gleason senior for his final basketball season.

Stepping into Howington's shoes is classmate Josh Sumner. Sumner saw rotating activity last season at forward and center and will be called upon to bring down the boards.

At forward, Ethan Lowrance returns, while Brian Taylor, who has split some of the last three years as a guard and forward depending on the situation, steps into a full-time role at the other forward position.

Evan Orr, who brings a nice shooting touch to the perimeter, is the only non-senior in the starting five at one of the guard position with Byron Fuqua rounding out the team at the other guard position. Fuqua can light up the scoreboard on any night.

Rookie head coach Lee Lawrence is optimistic about his Bulldogs' future, "We ar looking to increase our overall mental and physical toughness. We are not so much concerned with what the other teams are doing as we are about improving ourselves."

In such a tough district, Lawrence continues, "Our key to success is to play with passion and purpose. We have to work hard to set a new standard for Gleason boys basketball. I don't expect any respect to be given to us, and we shouldn't have any at this time. We have to go out and earn respect each night on the floor."

To start the 2006 season, the Bulldogs are taking an attitude of proving to the other teams that Gleason is a competitor rather than just saying, the Dawgs aim to take a bite out of their District 7-A competition. Source: Weakley County Press.

Lady Bulldogs Stay Undefeated in District 14-A
By DAVID BRANDT dbrandt@jacksonsun.com

GLEASON - It's been two years since Tiffany Felts had two knees that worked properly. Now the senior is finally healthy, and she's making up for lost time in a hurry.

Felts scored 16 points in a season-best performance as Gleason overcame a sluggish opening half to down District 14-A foe Union City, 47-41, on Friday night.

"It's just awesome to be healthy and help our team win," the 5-foot-8 Felts said. "I've spent a lot of time in rehab to be able to play like this."

As a sophomore, Felts tore her right ACL after just six games. After a year of excruciating rehab, she tore her left ACL in her junior season after just seven games. Needless to say, there were times when she thought her basketball career was over before it really started.

But Felts simply couldn't stay away.

"I had to get better and come back, I just knew it," Felts said shaking her head. "I would have regretted it for the rest of my life if I'd quit. It was tough, but it's all been worth it."

And with Felts' help, Gleason (23-2 overall, 15-0 district) is putting together another spectacular season. But coach Randy Frazier is getting frustrated with this group. Against Union City, the Lady Bulldogs' offense appeared to be stuck in cement in the first half, scoring just 12 points.

"I really think we've got a fantastic team this season," Frazier said of Gleason. "But sometimes we just don't look like we're ready. We think we can flip the switch on and beat good teams. But I don't understand that because this bunch of girls hasn't really accomplished anything to feel like they're that good.

"I've been to Murfreesboro eight times as a coach, but never with this group of girls, so I don't understand the nonchalant play."

Union City (17-6 overall, 12-3 district) got off to a hot start thanks to Brandi Alley's sharp shooting. The post player jumped out to the 3-point arc and hit three from long range to help give the Lady Tornadoes a 17-12 lead at the half.

In the second half, Gleason finally shook out of its slump as Kayla Hudson finished with 18 points and Felts continued her solid post play. Union City took a 33-32 lead into the fourth quarter, but couldn't hang on once Gleason finally started hitting shots from the outside. Meagan Price knocked down a game-tying 3-pointer midway through the fourth quarter and the Lady Bulldogs never looked back.

"I really thought (Price's) 3-pointer was what finished us off," Union City coach Jeff Chandler said. "We did a great job of being patient on defense in the first half, but in the second half we got down to Gleason and they're so well-coached it's hard to come back."

Union City's Alley led her team with 19 points while DeBrisha Robinson added 10.

Player of the game: Gleason's Tiffany Felts played well the entire game, providing most of the offense for the Lady Bulldogs - especially in the first half. The 5-foot-8 post finished with 16 points.

Play of the game: Meagan Price knocked down a 3-pointer for Gleason to tie the game at 37 midway through the fourth quarter. The Lady Bulldogs would never trail again.

Noteworthy: Felts is playing her senior season after playing just 13 games combined her sophomore and junior seasons because of knee injuries.

Boys - Union City 90 - Gleason 45

Union City had little trouble picking up a District 14-A victory on Friday night, pulling away late in the first half and cruising through the second half.

Marquis Weddle led the Tornadoes (18-7 overall, 13-2 district) with 16 points while M.J. Brown added 14 and Xavier Robinson scored 12. Gleason's (7-15 overall, 2-12 district) Byron Fuqua scored 14 points and Jacob Howington added 11.

The Tornadoes are in a dogfight with Humboldt and Lake County for the District 14-A title with three district games remaining.

"We're pretty quick and we think we've got nine kids who can come in and give us some good minutes," Union City coach Shane Sisco said. "The only problem is that we're a little undersized and have to be fundamentally better than the other teams to get past that." Photo Credits: Lindsey McDonald - Jackson Sun.

Girls Basketball: Hudson Powers Top-ranked Lady Bulldogs

By Ryan Bevitz ~ Jackson Sun

RENTON - It reads like a who's who of high school girls basketball in Tennessee.

It's the list of teams that Gleason High School has defeated.

This season, the Lady Bulldogs notched wins over defending Class AAA state runner-up Dyersburg and reigning AA state champ Chester County. On Wednesday, the Lady Bulldogs added to that list by defeating reigning Class A state champion Trenton Peabody for the second time this season, 54-39.

All the victories have resulted in Gleason earning the No. 1 spot Monday in The Associated Press Class A poll.

Yet, for all the big wins Gleason (20-2, 11-0 District 14-A) has accrued this season, coach Randy Frazier said his squad shouldn't be ranked as high as it is.

"We feel we're one of the better teams, but we're nowhere near No. 1," Frazier said Tuesday after Gleason's victory.

Frazier said his team needs to improve on its defense before it can even consider contending for a state title. While the Lady Bulldogs did a good job of pressuring the Lady Tide in the first half - they held Trenton to just 10 points - Gleason was unable to repeat the process in the final 16 minutes of play. Trenton scored 29 points in the second half and Gleason scored only 18.

"I don't think we've played two full halves all year," Frazier said.

Frazier also points out that the Lady Bulldogs entered the postseason 26-2 last year before being eliminated by Trenton in the regional semifinals.

Still, at least one person feels Gleason can contend for a state berth.

"They're a year older and they have a whole other year of experience," Trenton coach Tere Lumley said.

Lumley said she was impressed with Gleason's offense. Not only did it hustle to get down court, but once it got down there, it waited until one of its players got open before making the shot.

"The thing that really makes them good is they're very patient on offense," Lumley said. "They lull you to sleep and then they catch you napping."

Guard Kayla Hudson was the Lady Bulldogs' main weapon on offense. She notched 26 points, including 12 off of four 3-pointers.

While the Lady Tide's offense worked more proficiently in the second half, they lack the experience Gleason has. Although they are the defending Class A champions, Trenton (11-8, 7-5) graduated four of last year's starters and the fifth - sophomore Rakeshia Perry - is out with a knee injury.

Forward Janet Orgain and guard Chelle Yancy helped fill Perry's void on offense. Orgain paced the team with 17 points, including three treys in the second half. Yancy, a starter from the 2002-03 season, scored 11 points.

"Their team has changed a lot, they lost three good players, but they're still a good team," Hudson said. "Right now (it doesn't matter who we play because) we're just trying to get better with each game we played."

And who knows? By the time the playoffs roll around, perhaps both of these teams will be where their coaches want them. For Gleason, that would mean a deep run and maybe even a trip to the state tournament.

"I think we have a chance to go to the state tournament," Frazier said. "But we have to improve in the last month."

Gleason's used a 17-6 fourth quarter run to get itself back in the game, but the Bulldogs ran out of time, scoring their final basket with two seconds left in the contest.

Trenton (12-6, 8-4) did a good job of spreading the ball around as eight different players scored. None reached double figures, but Robert Yancy and Raphael Miller scored eight each.

Falcons Even Swap With Gleason:

Lady Bulldogs and Lake County Men Earn Wins

Ken Coker, Weakley County Press Sports / 2006-01-16

Many times, a bird can be a pest to a dog. On Tuesday night, the Lady Falcons of Lake County were no nuisance to the Lady Bulldogs of Gleason, as GHS strung Lake County around like a cat chasing a toy in a 49-25 besting.

Meanwhile, in the nightcap, it was the Falcons who swooped down and pounced on the Bulldogs with a victory by the final of 69-45.

In the nightcap, Gleason stuck with Lake County through the first half.

Andrew Wallace hit a pair of treys to open the game for the Falcons.

Brandon Bailey responded with a Bulldog basket. Byron Fuqua tossed in a score to pull GHS back within a point.

Wallace hit another trifecta before the end of the first frame as Gleason trailed Lake County, 16-9.

In the second stanza, the Bulldogs continued to keep close to the Falcons.

Evan Orr tossed in a bucket, as GHS trailed 25-21, before Adam Bennett tied the game at 25-all with a Gleason score.

After a LC bucket by Channin Geanes, Orr sank a pair of charity shots to tie the game again.

Geanes tossed in a trey followed by another by a 3-pointer by Dominique Kimble to push Lake County back in front.

With a pair of Fuqua free throws sandwiched between the Falcon treys, Gleason put in its last points of the half.

Geanes launched a shot three-quarters the length of the court with 0.9 seconds remaining, sinking the ball into the net for a score, as Lake County held a 36-29 advantage at the half.

Geanes hit four trifectas in the third quarter, as Lake County began to pull farther ahead, eventually winning by the final score of 69-45.

Bailey led GHS with 11 points in the loss. Jacob Howington reached double digits as well for Gleason with 10 tallies.

For Lake County, Geanes led the way with 22 points, while Kimble and Wallace each crossed the 10-point plateau with 19 points and 11 points, respectively.

In the opener, Meagan Price, fresh off scoring her 1,000th career point on Monday night, opened the game with a trifecta. Amber Wiseman tossed in a jumper and a short bucket, as Gleason went ahead 7-0.

Candace Green swooshed a trey followed by a Kayla Hudson layup, as Gleason's game-opening run reached a dozen, 12-0.

After a LC score, Gleason went on another big tear, finishing the first half with a 16-4 bettering of the Lady Falcons. In the run, Wiseman was responsible for nine points in the second frame, as the Lady Bulldogs led 28-6 at the half.

Green, Hudson and Price each hit a three in the third frame, as Gleason coasted in the driver's seat in the second half.

Hudson led Gleason in scoring with 14 points, while Wiseman contributed 12 points in the win.
