Perry opened the second

Although schools have until

coach/athletic director Andy
Scott said his school plans to

“There’s really nowhere

West Laurens, a current

87-71. Northside led by one,

The Bears did have a

HOUSTON COUNTY GIRLS
45, PERRY 29
With a double-double
coming from senior Tonia
Williams, the Houston
County High girls basketball
team won for the first time
in the new season Tuesday
at home. The Perry Lady
Panthers, which fell to 0-2,
were trailing by just two in
the second quarter when the
home Lady Bears went on a
decisive 13-3 run.
Williams, signed to play
for the University of South
Carolina, had 23 points and
13 rebounds along with six
assists. Sophomore Kourtny
Thomas had 10 points and
five rebounds while leading
the team in steals with four.
Junior Alexis Hewitt chipped
in eight.
For Perry, Brianna Brown
had nine points and Kim
Burgess eight. Burgess also
had three steals and a pair
in Region 3-AAA with
Washington County, Baldwin,
Burke County and Liberty
County. The new Region 4-
AAA will have nine mem
bers in 2008-2009: Eagle’s
Landing, Jackson, Mary
Persons, Rutland (Macon),
South Atlanta, Southside-
Atlanta, Spalding, Woodland
(Stockbridge) and Woodward
Academy.
A 10th school is joining
the region in the fall of 2009,
that being Locust Grove in
Henry County.
“It’s an opportunity for
our program to play some
quality opponents,” said
Scott about 1-AAA. “Before I
came here, I was an assistant
at Coffee County High, and
everybody called (Region 1-
AAAAA) the ‘SEC of Georgia
high schools.’” You could call
1-AAA the ‘Little SEC.’”
Scott said this is the kind of
It took an extra quarter, in
which the visitors out-scored
their guests, the Demonettes,
14-7, in this one.
Warner Robins trailed 18-15
after one. That was the case
after two quarters, as well,
as both put up seven points.
Then, the Lady Trojans out
scored the Demonettes 12-
9 in the third quarter but
Warner Robins rallied to tie
with in the fourth.
The Demonettes suffered
their first loss in the non
region contest - the two meet
again in Fort Valley next
week - and fell to 2-1. Peach
County improved to 1-1.
Symone Wilkerson led
Warner Robins in scoring.
She had 17.

The Lady Bears opened the
game with an 8-0 run with
Williams both taking two
steals in for four points and
throwing a long assist to fel
low senior Janesa Johnson.
Brown ran the fast break and
passed off to Burgess on a
wing for Perry’s first score.
The visiting Panthers
gained some confidence
towards the end of the quar
ter as Brown hit a 3-pointer
and Lay Lay Rountree scored
off a steal in the final min
ute. It was a 10-7 game after
the period and 10-8 not soon
after the second began.
But it was all Houston
County and Williams from
there. She had a transition
assist to Jasmine Bowman
and a tip-in score to make
it 16-8. A Rountree 3-point
er snapped a 6-0 run, but
Hewitt’s three-point play on
an offensive stick-back start
ed the home club on a 7-0
spurt.
Williams, from the top of
the key, hit Thomas moving
on the baseline for two at the
end of the run. Prior to the
half, Farr ah Lewis earned an
assist to Williams on penetra
tion. Tae McGhee scored for
Perry on a steal, but it was a
27-17 game at the half.
Perry had a couple of bas
kets in transition in the
third quarter, Burgess pass
ing to Brown and Rountree
to Burgess. McGhee also
scored on a stick-back. With
Williams making another
long pass to an open Thomas,
Houston extended the lead
to 14, 39-25 at the period’s

team “battle-tested” for state
tournament play.
Perry has been in Region
4-AAA since the 2002-2003
year. Before that, it was in
1-AAA with Fitzgerald,
Thomasville, Dodge County,
Dublin and Westover. The
Panthers went 1-9 in football
in 2001, which was Scott’s
first season as assistant
coach.
That other ‘SEC’ region,

Eagles join fellow county
schools Warner Robins High
and Houston County High
in taking on Coffee, Colquitt

there was no such pattern
as all of the aforementioned.
They won 54-47 over the
Trojans, thanks in part to
Jared Fluellen’s 12 points

Head Coach Chip Malone.
“We didn’t execute the sec

They rebounded to a cer
tain extent in the second,
outscoring the Lady Eagles
11-4 to make it a 26-16 half.
But Stratford came back
out in the third with more
of the same, out-scoring
Westfield, which fell to 1-3
- the Lady Eagles improved
to 5-0 - 18-8. Westfield was
led by Hannah Jones, who
had 10. Stratford’s Virginia
Hirschey had 21.
As far as the Hornets, in
a back-and-forth game - as
described by Head Coach
Jake Walls - “Startford came
out in a zone and dared us
to shoot the ball from the
perimeter,” he said. “And we
struggled until late in the
second quarter when we hit
four 3-point shots. We took
the lead late in the half 28-
24. A low-scoring third had
the Hornets, who trailed 9-7
after one, on top 34-28. But
the Eagles out-scored them
21-10 that quarter for the
win.
“Every close play went
their way,” Walls said, add
ing Stratford made 25-of
-31 free throws. “We played
great pressure defense, and
need to continue to improve
on offense.”
J.T. Rust and Matt Amrit,
who also had three blocks
on defense, led them in that
regard (offense). Both fin
ished with 9 points. James
Wurster scored 7 and nine
different Westfield players
scored in all.
