ALTA C-1 Champions AITJI ._„ '.
77i/s group of Forsyth County high-school age students captured the ALTA City (Atlanta)
Finals recenty, playing at the C-1 level. There are players from each of the three high
schools on the team, primarily South Forsyth. Because ALTA isn't in Forsyth County for
youth, the group plays out of Buford. In the finals against Windward of North Fulton, they
scored a maximum of 36 points in the scoring system, winning every match. Front row: (I

Back Row: Nikki Jack, Shelley Lahman, Ashley Askew, Lindsey Sprinkle.

Hudgins closed out the half by

advantage and the Lady
Wildcats a fatal shortage of time.
Ilayison and Mathis each scored
16, and Quinn had an important
and eight rebounds.
Matfcis grabbed 14 boards and
made 8-of-13 free throws as well.
“BCjpHy played pretty good
defers*, too,” said Hembree.
Gritting through shin splints,
frosl{ guard Katie Vaughan added
seven points, including a trey on a
put-badk that tied the game at 33
earlin the fourth.
Aad other Lady Eagles con
tributed in other ways. Hembree

Kristy Geisler and Kristi Wright
off the bench.
Trailing 29-25 after three peri
ods, before they really came on,
thpdeficit looked a whole lot bet
ter than things stood earlier.
After a completely anemic first
quarter that saw them trailing 13-
4, two Quinn buckets between
tberfi and a shutout, they rallied
briefly to 13-10.
But the gap yawned open to nine
at the half and then 11 before

closed it to four, but it was mostly
downhill after that.
The Warriors went up by 10,
stumbled briefly as Wesley Ellis
hit a trey, then went on an 18-4
run (part of the 23-7). They shot
67 percent for the game (34-of
-51).
“We just weren’t shooting
well,” said Barnes, “and we let
them get easy baskets.”
Hudgins wound up with nine,
Knoebel eight and Ben West
seven. No doubt the Eagles
missed the potentially potent
shooting and scoring of Dillon
back. Hembree wasn’t
happy with the execution
in the early going. “We
knew what they were
going to do, but we
didn’t handle it well at
all.”
Erin Rogalski was
tough inside in the early
going, winding up with
12 for the game for
Duluth. Cato and
Heather Crawford each
had nine and Wyunema
Lucas eight. But the
Lady Cat offense was a
non-factor in the third
quarter as South held
them to six.
Duluth had 18 in the
final stanza, but South
outscored them still with
26.
In the end, Hembree
likened the progress of
her team like a building
process, getting to the
first floor, now perhaps
being ready to get to the
second. With a 2-0 start,
the escalator seems to be
speeding up.

game suspension for an ejection.
“Surely that hurt us offensively,”
said Barnes.
While there weren’t as many
positives, perhaps, as in the first
half against Collins Hill last
week, the early play and game
plan gives the Eagles something
to build on. Next Friday, South
starts sub-region play hopeful
ly at full-strength, and with the
fortitude to sustain the success of
early-game play.
“We’ve got to put this behind us
and go forward,” said Barnes.
