Dixon out for Strong

I saw another good game Thursday in Parkers Chapel with the Lady Trojans handling Strong 47-28. Parkers Chapel is unbeaten in 2A 7East play after giving the Lady Bulldogs their first conference loss.
It was a good game, not great. The girls played hard on both ends of the court.
Strong's Breuna Dixon got the results back on her knee and the news was bad. She tore her ACL, which is the worst thing that can happen to a senior athlete.
Dixon wants to put a brace on the knee and play. Coach Koonce didn't sound like he was going to let her try it.
It's a tough call. Every kid is going to want to play. Sometimes adults have to tell children - "No."
I think Koonce is making the right call but it's not easy to say no to a kid who wants to play so bad.
Anyway, without Dixon the Lady Bulldogs are pretty much like a fighter with one big punch. Strong has a dominant inside game but now have no perimeter punch to set it up.
PC packed it in on Strong and that was all she wrote.
On the flip side, the Lady Trojans are starting to look like a formidible team. Freshman Savanna Langston is starting to establish herself as a force inside. That should open up Dana Gray and Dallas Phipps on the outside to make PC tough to handle.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the Lady Trojans fare against Jessieville tonight.
