Lady Wildcats stun Terrell

By HARVEY SIMPSON

Dispatch Sports Editor



DAWSON — Thanks to Crisp Academy’s shocking 47-41 Friday night upset of Terrell Academy, the girls Region 3-A GISA regular season title race just became anybody’s to win.

That outcome ending a Lady Wildcats’ 21-game losing streak to the Lady Eagles dating back to the 2000-01 season created a virtual three-way first place tie among Crisp, Terrell and Fullington. All of them now have a loss in region play where the Lady Wildcats are 2-1, 14-5.

As high as the Lady Wildcats were flying after their win, the Wildcats were just about as low as could be as the 55-36 defeat dealt them extended their losing string to eight games and left them at 3-13 overall, 0-3 in the region.

Both Crisp teams have another outing on tap Tuesday when they host Randolph Southern to complete the first round of their region play.

See complete details of Friday's games in the Sunday, Jan. 17 edition.
