Chiefland looks to be peaking just in time for districts, and fortunately, they're hosting. They've lost to the district muscle, Williston and P.K. Yonge, by nine points each in the last three weeks, each time surging to within five points. Far from being the best shooting team in the district, the Indians might be the best executing team on defense and on the boards. With outstanding conditioning carried over from football, Chiefland has awesome footspeed in the backcourt and forecourt, and their undersized posts can jump out of the gym.
Stephen Davis, Tommy Sheffield, Cantrell Richardson and Donnell Sanders will frustrate any high-flying opponent in the paint, while point Eugene (PeeWee) Carter is one of the best ball distributors in the area. Add the sixth man -- the Indians' nasty home crowd -- and this should be a district tournament to remember.
Here's the bracket at Chiefland:
Tues: 5:30 Newberry v Ft White
7 p.m. Chiefland v Dixie County
Friday 5:30 winner of Newberry-Ft. White v P.K. Yonge
7 p.m. winner of Chiefland-Dixie County v Williston
Saturday 7 p.m. Championship
