Lady Rebels advance to Final Four

Jumping out to a big lead over an opponent they had already defeated three times earlier in the season, the Lady Rebels found themselves with a 29-16 lead at the half despite having two starters get into foul trouble in the second quarter. Some sloppy play by the Lady Rebels also kept the lead from growing to a much larger margin.

In the second half, the Lady Rebels quick put any thoughts of a Telfair County comeback to rest. The lead grew to twenty in the third quarter, and though Telfair County never gave up and made a little run late, the outcome was never in doubt.

Mylashia Yancey, who surpassed 2,200 points for her outstanding career, finished with a game high 26 points. Fellow senior Brishuana Barnes also had a strong game with 14 points. As a team, the Lady Rebels did have 25 turnovers and that is a number that will probably have to decrease in order for the Lady Rebels to achieve their goal.

With the victory, the Lady Rebels (29-0) advance to the Final Four where they will take on Wheeler County at 3:00 on Saturday afternoon

at VSU with a berth to the state championship game on the line. Telfair County ends their season at 18-10, with four of their losses coming against Turner County.
