while adding four assists. Kate Bray
drained three three-pointers and scored 12
while Kyrsten Watts added 10 points with
four boards.
On Monday, the Red Raiders were led by
Watts and LaChyna Norman, who scored
eight points apiece, followed by Bray and
Caitlyn Arwood, who tallied seven each.
The team hit seven threes on the day but
struggled to find much offense outside of
its perimeter shooting.
Lampe said the Hart County tournament
is a warmup for Region 8-AAAA action
next week.
“This is good for us to get ready for
region play next week,” he said.
Madison County hosts Cedar Shoals

Bird. “Hopefully, we'll be able to build off
that.”
Bird said Nolan Hill is playing better
as he works his way back from an ankle
injury.
“He's still not 100 percent coming off his
ankle injury, but he’s starting to move a lit
tle better and do some things on both ends,
defensively and offensively,” said Bird.
The coach said Graham had good game
in the post. He said South shot the ball
well late against Franklin County, knocking
down a couple of big shots.
“One guy that sparked us was Drew
Porterfield who was coming off a knee
injury and hasn’t played much this year,”
said the coach. “He did some good things
defensively.”
The coach said he sees flashes of his
starting to “play the way we want to play.”
“We saw the ball go in a little better,
which makes it less stressful,” said Bird of
the team’s second-half performance Tues
day. "The more you miss shots you know
you can make, the more it puts pressure on
the next shot. Hopefully, we'll keep getting
better.”
Madison County will now turn its atten
tion to Region 8-AAAA competition. The
Red Raiders host Cedar Shoals Tuesday at
7:30 p.m., travel to Flowery Branch Friday
at 8:30 p.m., then host Jefferson Saturday
at 7:30 p.m.
Bird said this season is just a time to not
get down on yourself and make the best of
whatever comes.
"No coach would want to play games
right now with as little practice time as
we’ve had and as much time as we’ve
missed,” he said. “But in this year, you have
to play them whether you’re as prepared as
you want to be or not.”
Zahmerius Shiflet takes the ball to the hoop against South Atlanta Monday.
