JCD Lady Eagles win eighth consecutive IHSAA Class 1A Sectional 60 championship title
Gary Franklin
SPORTS EDITOR
Jac-Cen-Del Lady Eagles under the lead of Head Coach Scott Smith claimed their eighth consecutive IHSAA Class 1A Sectional title on Saturday, Feb. 6 when they defeated Southwestern Shelby Lady Spartans 51-21 at Jac-Cen-Del High School. The game afforded no surprises considering Coach Scott Smith’s 23-1 JCD Lady Eagles’ record. The surprise of each game has been who will end up as the top scorer, leading rebounder, gather the most assists, or be the most aggressive on defense for JCD. This was Coach Smith’s 12th Sectional win of his 15-year career, assisted by JV Coach Matt McNew for most of those years. This year the Hauser Lady Jets, Waldron Lady Mohawks and Southwestern Shelby Lady Spartans were added to the Sectional schedule and Madison Shawe was shuffled out.
