Franklinton Lady Demons collect the girls’ consolation trophy with a 68-54 win
over the Sumner Lady Cowgirls.
Sharpshooters Michael Harvey of Amite and Dewayne Watkins of
Independence did battle in the boys’ championship with Watkins winning the points

Warriors in the opening period 20-14, but could manage only six more points by the

got three more players into double-figures in the second half outgunning the Tiger
39-26 to secure the win.
Amite’s Brandon Mitchell scored 15, and Chad Jones and Thomas Hart
added 11 and 10 respectively for the winners. Jay Holmes contributed 12 for the Tigers.
The Lady Tiger scoring duo of Antionette McKnight and Caleisha

McKnight was tops with 32 points and 6-of-7 from the free throw line,
while Johnson added ten more and dished out 11 assists.
“We played our most complete game so far,” said Lady Tiger head coach
Kovi Dillion. “We had excellent movement and control on offense and our defense created a
lot of scoring opportunities off of steals.”
Raven Luper led the Pine Lady Raiders with 12 points and
teammate Taneisha Davis added eight more.
In the boys’ consolation senior forward Devin Coleman worked
in the paint for a game high 28 points in leading his Sumner Cowboys to a 62-39
