TUSCALOOSA, Ala. Satchel Paige Indians Jersey . -- The Alabama womens basketball team moved to 8-1 on the season with an 80-57 victory over Georgia State (4-5) Thursday afternoon at Coleman Coliseum. The game was played in front of a crowd of over 4,000 fifth graders, who were on hand for the teams 10th annual 5th Grade Fastbreak contest.I want to thank all of the local schools, all of the many fifth grade teachers and administrators that helped create just an amazing environment for our team today, said Alabama head coach Kristy Curry. We hope they had as much fun being here as we had fun having them here. What a great environment.Junior Hannah Cook had a game-high 15 points to lead the Crimson Tide. She was joined in double figures by freshman Jordan Lewis (14), junior Quanetria Bolton (11) and sophomore Shaquera Wade (11). Lewis, Wade and junior Meoshonti Knight each pulled down a game-best eight rebounds, while Knight dished out a game-high four assists. For the Panthers, junior Makeba Ponder led the way with 15 points, and graduate student Tiffany Holston added eight points and eight rebounds.Alabama started the game on the 12-2 run, eight of which were scored by Cook. The Tide extended its lead out to 17 at the 2:31 mark following a three from Wade, but Georgia State would go on to score the final 10 points of the first to pull within seven, 23-16.The Panthers cut their deficit to five two minutes into the second, however Alabama would answer with the next five to lead 32-22 at the 5:48 mark. Georgia State closed the gap to five again on two occasions, but the Tide ended the quarter on a 6-3 run to lead 42-34 at the half.Alabama scored the first nine points of the third to take a 17-point advantage. The Tide would go on to outscore the Panthers 18-6 in the quarter to lead 60-40 heading into the final frame. Alabama has now held its opponents to 15 or fewer points in 26 quarters this season and under 10 points in 13 periods.In the fourth, Alabama extended the margin out to 27 following a three-pointer from Cook with 2:07 to go. Georgia State knocked down a pair of threes of its own down the stretch, and Tide junior Coco Knight hit a jumper, setting the final score at 80-57.For the game, Alabama shot 45.9 percent (28-61), while Georgia State was 35.5 percent (22-62) from the floor. The Tide capitalized on 22 Panther miscues, scoring 29 points off turnovers. Once again, Alabama won the battle of the boards, outrebounding Georgia State, 43-40. The Tide also collected 11 steals, 12 assists and four blocks in the contest.Alabama will play its final home game before the holiday break on Saturday when it hosts Georgia Tech at Coleman Coliseum. Tip is set for 2 p.m. CT. All fans are encouraged to bring a teddy bear or stuffed animal to toss at halftime to benefit the Salvation Army. The first 300 fans in the door will also receive an Alabama ugly Christmas sweater T-shirt. Joe Carter Jersey . The team said Saturday that Lopez was hurt during its 121-120 overtime loss at Philadelphia on Friday. The Nets said they would issue another update next week after consultation with their doctors. Carlos Baerga Jersey . But what about the officials? Every sport has officials and they also have stories about hard work and sacrifice but their accomplishments are seldom recognized by anyone outside their inner circle. http://www.indianssale.com/indians-nick-wittgren-jersey/ . Gerald Green and Miles Plumlee? Green had bounced around the NBA when he wasnt playing overseas. The Pacers gave up on Plumlee after just one season. Now Green and Plumlee are key cogs in the Suns surprising breakout season. Carlton will be desperate to give favourite son Andrew Walker the farewell he deserves in Sundays AFL clash at the MCG.Walker announced earlier this week he would retire after tackling St Kilda, with a debilitating knee injury having taken its toll.The 30-year-old will be best remembered by AFL fans for his spectacular mark in 2011.But at Princes Park it is his work ethic and professionalism that coaches will miss most.John Barker, an assistant coach at the Blues for much of Walkers career, says the forward routinely set the standard at pre-season training.I remember hed come back and just win time trial after time trial, after time trial, Barker said.He has a mindset where the off-season is not a time to let the hair down for two months.Its a time to let the body repair, prepare yourself for another solid pre-season .. that has an impact on young players.I know the boys will be really proud if they can get the job done for him and he deserves that sort of performance from us.Barker paid tribute to the fact Walker will finish with 202 games despite a series of setbacks.. Bradley Zimmer Indians Jersey. Hes had a body that has been failing in recent years, he said.But because he was so meticulous with his preparation, it allowed him to keep fighting through and keep being an effective player for us.Hes super quick but has also got a massive tank. He was a team-orientated player but had flashes of brilliance.None more brilliant than that mark, when Walker used Essendon defender Jake Carlisle as a stepladder.I remember the excitement through the box then it just went quiet, it was almost like everyone stopped coaching for about 10 seconds to watch the replay, Barker said.Even without Walkers swansong, the Blues wont be lacking in motivation according to Barker.They have made significant gains during Brendon Boltons first season in charge but must aim to make plenty more in the final four rounds.We want to learn and get better each week. We dont want to get to the end of the year and think - gee, we wasted four weeks, Barker said. ' ' '
