LADY TIGERS GRAB HIGH SEEDING IN POSTEASON

BOONEVILLE, Miss.--  Thanks to a strong finish at the end of the 2008 regular season, Coach Ricky Ford's Northeast Lady Tigers have earned a No. 2 seeding in both the MACJC State Tournament, and the Region XXIII Tournament.

Ford's bunch finished the regular slate with an 8-4 division record, 12-11 overall.

"We're really proud to be the number two representative from the North," said Ford. "We'll have our hands full from day one of the postseason, just like all the teams from the North, because the South Division teams are all really strong this year."

Northeast's Lady Tigers will face Southwest CC on day one of the women's state tournament at 3:15pm on Tuesday, February 26 at Itawamba CC.
