Posted Feb 18/10 - Auburn Loses To Floyd in TRD Semi Finals

     Auburn started slowly against Floyd in the Semi Finals of the Three Rivers District Tournament. That is something you cannot do when you face the #1 seeded Buffaloes. Floyd would jump out to a 22-4 first quarter lead to catapult themselves to a 57-27 win.
     Floyd throws wave after wave of pressure at teams they face. Wednesday night was no different as they forced Auburn into 37 turnovers for the game. Floyd also hit the offensive boards, out-rebounding the Eagles 17-5. This was too much for Auburn to overcome.
     Holly Saul lead the Eagles in scoring with 11. Jordan Watson added 8.
