Class 3A-1A Private

#1 No. 1 Hebron Christian 46, #3 No. 3 Holy Innocents’ 42: With three starters fouled out, Holy Innocents’ (24-7) fought till the buzzer and nearly rallied to stun Hebron Christian (30-1) for a second consecutive season, but the Lions survived 13-27 free throw shooting — 7-13 in the fourth quarter — to clinch the program’s fourth state title. Following a slow start which saw Hebron Christian trail by as many as 10 points in the first half including falling behind 14-6 after the first quarter, the Lions raced ahead with a 20-2 run in the second quarter to gain a 30-24 halftime advantage they would never relinquish. Poor three-point shooting sank Hebron Christian last year in their title loss to Holy Innocents’ going 0-19, but back-to-back threes from Mia Huckaby in the second quarter ended a streak of 25-straight misses from beyond the arc in Macon. Huckaby would finish with a game-high 14 points shooting 3-7 from deep while as a team the Lions would connect on 5-22 from distance. Through three quarters Hebron Christian led 39-29. Fouls piled up on the Golden Bears as Elana McMasters finished with 8 points fouling out at the 3:59 mark of the fourth quarter. Soon to follow on the bench would be Makayla Weaver and Loriel Murray who both scored 10 points before disqualification. With three starters fouled out, Holy Innocents’ would spark a 6-0 run keyed by freshman Parker Smith with two threes. Smith would net 8 points in total, drawing Holy Innocents’ to within 43-42 with 2:53 to play. Hebron would score the final three points of the game, struggling to put the game away from the line. SEC-signees Alanna Beckham (UGA) and Gabby Minus (Tennessee) were held under wraps to shoot a combined 3-24 from the field but Beckham shot 5-12 from the line including two key free throws with 24.9 seconds left to ice it. Beckham had 7 points and 9 rebounds while Minus ended with 7 points and 13 boards. Nariah Nelson chipped in 7 points. In the loss, Aaniyah Branch patrolled the paint to collect 3 points, 16 rebounds and 8 blocks.

#1 No. 7 Darlington 53, #2 No. 1 Holy Innocents’ 50: Down a key starter lost to injury in the Elite Eight — Christian Teasley, Darlington (30-2) still managed to make history, holding on to knock off defending state champion Holy innocents’ (26-4). The Tigers got off to a slow start, just 3-17 from the field. After missing their first seven threes, Darlington caught fire with a 6-13 second quarter and shot 9-26 for the game to turn a 12-6 deficit after one into a 25-23 halftime advantage. Belmont-signee Devin Hutcherson was saddled with three fouls late in the second quarter after Brent Bell drew his third on a charge. He did not return to the floor till 3:18 to play in the third quarter but the Golden Bears had won the minutes 11-8 with him out to take a 34-33 lead. The story of the game was DJ Hall who was the best player on the floor, dumping in 30 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals with just 3 turnovers while shooting 9-17 from the field, 5-8 from deep and 7-9 from the line including a pair of free throws with 23.1 seconds left in regulation to extend the lead to 53-49. The Tigers shot 8-15 from the foul line and just 3-8 from the stripe in the fourth quarter, lifted by Hall’s two clinchers. Before the free throws, Darlington suffered a scoring drought of over four minutes, seeing a 42-38 lead after three quarters trimmed to 44-43 before Hall scored on a drive with 2:54 to push the advantage to three points. DJ once again came up big with 1:21 to play, converting a tough eurostep layup through contact to go ahead 50-45. The closest the Golden Bears would get would be 51-49 at with 25.1 seconds left when Jaden McCullough hit a pull-up three, part of his 12 points. The Tigers missed two more free throws with 6.9 seconds left, but Hutcherson’s coast-to-coast pull-up three was an airball, landing out of bounds with one second left to extinguish Holy Innocents’ chances of a repeat. For Darlington, in support of Hall was Cam Selig who had 9 points and 8 rebounds. His bucket off a Hall assist at the 44-second mark of the third quarter marked the first Tiger other than Hall to have multiple field goals in the game. For Holy Innocents’, Hutcherson led with 13 points and 10 rebounds. Jordan Mays was 4-5 from the field with 10 points.

#2 No. 7 Heritage-Catoosa 65, #4 No. 2 Sandy Creek 62 OT: Heritage-Catoosa (28-4) trailed by 10 points with 4:46 to play in the third quarter but the Generals’ champion DNA (three-peat in softball) shined through, forcing overtime on a Georgia Gracy three with four seconds left then outlasting Sandy Creek (25-7) once five-star guard Morghan Reckley fouled out with 2:35 to play in overtime. Reckley, who finished with 29 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 steals, fouled out after creating an And-1 for sister Madison to put the Patriots ahead 62-60, bumping Gracy after the fact. Sandy Creek wouldn’t score from the field after her departure, USC Upstate soccer-signee Deyla McCoy netting a free throw with 1:35 to play to wrap up the Patriot offense and finishing her night with 22 points on 6-7 shooting from the field. The Generals took their first lead of the second half on Paisley Collins’ cut to the rim with 22 seconds to play, the game-winning basket.

Dontrell Jackson scored 14 points in the first half but had a scoreless third period before dumping in 11 fourth quarter points to close with 25 points and 7 rebounds. Derrick Shine added 11 points. Harlem saw leading scorers (20.4 ppg) Ty Shine go down with a left ankle injury after just eight minutes of play and no points.

Kell (25-6) missed their first 14 shots and went 1-16 from the field in the first quarter whereas Harpring shot 6-7 for 13 points. The Longhorns got off the mat in the second quarter, outscoring Marist 18-11 to get back in the game, down 26-21 at the break. At the 6:05 mark of the third quarter the Longhorns took their first lead of the game on a Lyric Watson corner three to make the score 28-26. After Harpring’s supporting cast shot just 1-8 from the field in the first half, Emily Morrison (7) and Azalia Shell (3) combined for 10 points in the quarter while Harpring had just four to give Marist a 40-35 lead after three. Morrison, a sophomore, was critical in the win, finishing with 13 points, 11 coming after halftime.

R5 #1 No. 1 St. Pius X 54, R4 #1 No. 3 Pace Academy 51: St. Pius X (33-0) got over the hump in dramatic fashion, finally securing a state championship with a perfect season. Clemson-signee Harris Reynolds finished with 23 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 2 blocks including a 4-0 personal spurt to put the Golden Lions ahead 49-44 with 1:32 to play after Pace Academy (24-8) had trimmed the lead to one. The Knights, who never led in the second half and last held the lead at 16-15 in the second quarter, knotted the game up at 49 after Gavin Fountain drilled a corner three following a basket-saving block from Georgia Southern-signee Hayden Clay. The decisive blow came with 38 seconds to play when Reynolds found Westin Keppen for three to pull ahead 52-49, part of Keppen’s 13 points and one of just four Golden Lion threes after they hit 12 in the Final Four against Jonesboro but managed just 4-20 against Pace Academy. Reynolds iced the game with 6.6 seconds remaining as he knocked down a pair of free throws. The foul line was a deciding factor as the Golden Lions shot 8-12 while Pace Academy went 13-24. St. Pius X took control of the game with a 13-2 run to go up 28-18 at the half and led for 26:38 compared to Pace Academy leading for just 1:18. As long as St. Pius X led, they never could extend the lead past 10 points. Penn football-signee Jaydon Avery led Pace Academy with 19 points on 4-8 shooting from beyond the arc.

The Falcons built up a 14-point first half lead and carried a 42-33 advantage into half time. Freshman Garyunna Mitchell scored 15 of her 17 points in the first half and added 10 rebounds and 2 blocks. The Falcons shot 9-15 from the foul line over the opening 16 minutes and 18-28 for the game. East Laurens had just four turnovers at halftime but the Elbert County defense ramped up their pressure and forced 12 second half miscues to get back into the game. The Falcons led 50-46 through three quarters before Elbert County took their first lead since 14-13 at 55-54 with 2:51 to play on an Audrey Lunsford drive but it was a brief advantage as the Falcons would score the final nine points of the game.

#2 No. 1 Rabun County 52 #4 No. 2 Southwest-Macon 43: In a long awaited bout between No. 1 and No. 2 in the state, Navy-signee Huey Blalock’s refuse-to-lose mentality carried Rabun County (30-2) to their first ever state title in any sport as the Wildcats led wire-to-wire over hometown Southwest-Macon (27-7). Rabun County got off to a hot start leading 17-5 after one quarter as the Patriots settled for jumpers, shooting 2-16 from the field and 1-11 from three while the Wildcats went 8-11 from the field. Rabun County’s lead evaporated, tied at 19 as Southwest went on a 14-2 run behind Chase Dupree who went for 20 points and 4 rebounds, but the Wildcats answered on a 6-0 run to enter the break up 25-19. Blalock nearly single handedly kept the Patriots at bay as runningmate Hayes Free picked up his third foul at the 5:22 mark with the Wildcats up 31-23 and sat the rest of the period. Blalock, who finished with 29 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals faced foul court double teams as he managed to provide the Cats with offense while turning the ball over only three times. After three quarters, Rabun led 37-35 as the Patriots started to attack the rim. Free throws killed Southwest as they fought back all game long, shooting 13-26 compounded by just 4-24 from beyond the arc. The Patriots cut the lead to 38-37 with 5:57 left as Caron Howard scored 10 of his 13 points in the second half. With Rabun up 45-37 with 3:04 to play, Free fouled out with 12 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks, putting all the pressure squarely back on Blalock to deliver as Landan Bedingfield was the next leading scorer with 5 points and 7 rebounds. With Free on the bench, the Patriots went on a 6-0 run to make it 45-43 with 1:37 remaining. Blalock responded with a leaning mid-range jumper to extend the lead then immediately drew an offensive foul on the next possession. With 46.5 seconds, Blalock was fouled on a deep three and hit 2/3 from the line to put the game out of reach as the Wildcats closed the game on a 7-0 run.
