The tournament opens at the site of the higher-seeded school. The semifinals Nov. 7 and the finals Nov. 9 are scheduled for Warren Count} High School.
It is a tournament in which Voor hees believes the Panthers can ad vance beyond the first round.
“I don’t believe we are any worst than, maybe the third place team,’ Voorhees said earlier in the month. “We have the players. We just have to put it all together.”
Inconsistency has been a splintei in the paw of these Panthers.
In a 59-58 win over winless Stonewall Jackson on Oct. 1, three Rappahannock players scored 46 ol the team’s points, and were separated by only three points. Jordan, the team’s top scorer, led that game with 17, but Wendy “Bean” Stringfellow added 15 and Natalie Butler 14. Butler is averaging 10 points a night, second-best on the team.
Then, the next game at Brentsville on Oct. 3, Rappahannock blew a seven-point lead and lost a more narrow lead in the final minute to drop the contest, 48-43.
Then in the Stonewall rematch Thursday, a 58-52 Rappahannock win, Butler led with 19, Jordan added 17 and Stringfellow seven.
In the loss to Warren County, Jordan led all scorers with 34 points and was the only Panther to score in double figures.
“It’s inconsistency,” said Voorhees. Also, the coach indicated one problem may be that the team “doesn’t know how to hold onto a lead.”
Rappahannock led the Brentsville Tigers by five at the half, 24-19, in the first matchup. But in the second half, Brentsville closed that gap. In the final minute, the Panthers led by a point, permitted a turnover, but still was in a position to win the game.
“All we had to do was get the ball upcourt and set up a play,” Voorhees said. It was a lament he repeated in the loss to Warren County.
