#8-ranked White County held a 33-18 halftime lead over rivals Lumpkin County in Cleveland on Friday, and it seemed all but over. Then Alayna Lindley kept coming up with shots from downtown, as the Lady Indians (17-8; 8-6 in 6-AAA) rallied back in the fourth for a 55-47 win.
The Lady Warriors (18-7; 9-5) used a 16-0 first quarter run to take a 16-5 lead after one. Lindley connected on her second and third shot from long range in the second, and Reagan Richardson’s bucket tied it briefly at 16.
However, White County went on another big stretch, a 15-0 run, and Josselyn Burke hit a crazy 3-pointer at the buzzer as the home team was up 33-18.
Lumpkin outscored the Lady Warriors 20-13 through the third period, making it a 46-38 game heading into the final quarter.
