Pressure — Westview's Caitlin Campbell (left) applies the pressure to Lady Pioneer Aubrey Reedy in the Lady Chargers' loss to Gibson County in the District 13-AA title game.

Having avenged one of their three losses with an overtime win over Obion County in the district tourney semifinals on Thursday night, the Westview Lady Chargers were aiming to settle another score when they faced off against the undefeated Gibson County Lady Pioneers with the District 13-AA title at stake on Saturday night in Dyer.
The Lady Chargers could not pull off the upset in the tourney championship game, falling to the undefeated Gibson County girls, 74-50.
"I think our earlier game (vs. Obion County) took a lot out of us. We weren't as fresh tonight as the game went on," WHS coach Sean Stephenson said.
The Lady Chargers will next host Fayette-Ware in the Region 7-AA quarterfinals at 6:30 on Thursday night.
Westview got off to a hot start thanks to Amber Rechis drilling three shots from 3-point range in the first quarter. Her third trey put the Lady Chargers on top 13-7 with three minute still to play in the first quarter.
Gibson County finished the frame on an 11-2 run. Heather Butler ignited the run with consecutive 3-pointers, part of her 28-point performance. Aubrey Reedy had five points in the spree. After a quarter, Gibson County led 18-15.
In addition to tired legs, West-view struggled against Gibson County's pressure and physical play. In a low-scoring second stanza, Butler pitched in seven to key the Lady Pioneers' 29-21 halftime lead.
Mid way through the third, WHS cut the gap to four, 31-27, on a Caitlin Campbell layup, but the Pioneers ended the quarter on a 13-3 run for a 44-30 edge.
Things snowballed for the Lady Chargers in the fourth as the Pioneers pulled away for the 74-50 victory and the crown.
