MEIGS KNOCKS OFF LADY REBELS

Anna Crowder and Jacelyn Stone each scored 21 points for Meigs County as the Lady Tigers knocked off South Greene 67-48 in a much-anticipated matchup which pitted old rivals from several years ago when both squads were playing for state title honors.

The Rebs made 28 turnovers in the contest, which played a key part in the outcome as the Tigers took advantage in the first period, bolting to a 23-12 lead. It was 35-26 at the half, then Meigs widened the gap with a strong third quarter.

South Greene was further hampered with sickness, with one starter not dressed and some others recovering from flu symptoms.
