BEFORE GAME 1
The Montgomery Fire Department made its first appearance less than 10 minutes before Monday's first game. A fire alarm went off about 3:15 and the MFD was here quickly.

We've already noted two corrections for your 6A girls rosters. Selma's Keisha Moore is listed as Keysah, while Jeff Davis' Lavonda McCall is listed Lavenda.

We'll give ASU a hearty thumbs-up for one change from last year. The Acadome now has a sound system, so the temporary speakers from last year are unnecessary. That means no obstructions for fans ... and no headaches for us writers and those fans that were near those temporary speakers.

First tipoff at 3:35 p.m. The tournament is already behind.

DURING GAME 1
Less than a minute in, the fire alarm went off again. Play was not interrupted.

End of first quarter. Davidson 19, Selma 14.
Halftime. Selma 32, Davidson 30.

Make that three (at least) misspellings on the 6A girls rosters in the program. Davidson's Lana Vakadin is listed as Lana Vukadin. The Warriors also have a guard that the Davidson scorekeeper wasn't sure of. She's Shundrea/Shundria Windham.

One holdover problem from last year. Halftime is about to end, but ASU has yet to be able to produce and distribute statistics.

Fire alarm goes off again in the first minute of the third quarter. Play was not interrupted.

An explanation has been given on the stats issue. ASU is working with a new system. I guess it just came out of the box.

End of third quarter. Selma 48, Davidson 44.

More on the stats: ASU had a system crash.

Final score. Selma 70, Davidson 56. Unofficially, I have Keisha Moore with 23 points and Ashley Grimes 17 for Selma.

GAME 2
End of first quarter. Lee-Montgomery 18, Murphy 16.

ASU bought a new stats program for the regional. The new stats program is going back in the box and the Hornets have brought out the program they use for their games. We have stats for the first quarter of the Lee-Murphy game. Hip, hip, hooray.

Halftime. Murphy 25, Lee 24.
End of third quarter. Tied 36-36.
Final. Lee 56, Murphy 49.
