Girls Basketball: Three Keys to Freedom Winning Back-to-Back State Titles

Freedom vs. Spotswood
VHSL Division 4 Girls Basketball State Finals
VUC's Siegel Center in Richmond, 7 p.m. tipoff

Spotswood (20-6) defeated York in semifinals, 60-47
Freedom (20-5) defeated Turner Ashby, 44-27

3 Keys to Freedom Winning
1. Control Carter: Carter Williams makes the Spotswood offense go and she had nine points and eight assists in the semifinals including a behind-the-back pass that ignited the Trailblazers win
2. Double-Double Trouble: Freedom's Kelsey Buchanan averages a double-double each game and that is trouble for opponents as the 6-3 senior has had her way inside in last year's Division 3 state title run for Freedom and this year. If Buchanan owns the paint again tonight, expect an Eagle celebration
3. Turn the Tide on Turnovers: Spotswood has a balance attack that will want to pressure Freedom and the Eagles at times this year have struggled with turnovers. On the other hand, Freedom turned turnovers forced against Liberty, Courtland and Turner Ashby into easy points in the last three playoff wins.
