White County girls softball coach John Brown was not overly pleased with his Lady Warriors after they had to rally from a sluggish start to edge Eastside in the first round of the Class AAA state finals Thursday.
To win a championship often times requires a bit of luck. Class AAA got its first break last week when No. 1-ranked and 2008 state champion Oconee County was knocked out by Allatoona in the second round of the girls softball playoffs.
With just one week left in the regular season, Region 8-AAA finds itself with the possibility of one of two teams with just three combined wins making the playoffs. No way, you say? Yes, way.
Washaun Ealey ran for 157 yards and set a school record with five rushing touchdowns and the surging Bulldogs pounded mistake-prone Kentucky 44-31 on Saturday to remain in the thick of things in the jumbled SEC East.
Alexander Semin scored three goals and Tomas Fleischmann got the game-winner 1:37 into overtime, giving the Capitals a 4-3 victory over the Atlanta Thrashers on Saturday night.
