Sports, Team FYN Sports

Similar to their game against West Forsyth, the White County Lady Warriors would lead for the majority of the game before losing in the final seconds to the South Forsyth Lady War Eagles.

The first 24 minutes of playing time were controlled by White County. After a slow start, The Lady Warriors went on a 7-2 run late in the first quarter. That gave them a lead of 18-15 after one quarter of action. Dasha Cannon started off the game on fire, scoring 11 points in the opening quarter. White County continued to add on to their lead as the game continued, leading by as high as 13 early in the third quarter.

However, it was after this point when South Forsyth would come back. They would slowly decrease the deficit throughout the third quarter. By the time the third quarter buzzer sounded, they were only down 5, and had plenty of life left in them. Yet, the Lady Warriors would stay ahead. Dasha Cannon, Maddie Futch, and Naomi Crumley were the only ones to score for White County in the 4th. Dasha and Naomi had four points, while Maddie had five. All of their baskets were meaningful to the Warriors lead, a lead that would only last for so long.

The game would go down to the final seconds.

Yet the Lady War Eagles still had a chance to win. Sophie Rosin would hit a three-point shot with 3.1 seconds remaining to give South Forsyth the lead. White County head coach Jarvis Davenport would call a timeout and drew up a play to potentially tie or win the game. The play was Maddie Futch taking the inbound and driving inside attempting to send the game to overtime. However, Futch missed a shot inside at the end of the game, giving South Forsyth the win.
