AMERICUS – After a disappointing 20-11 loss to Glenwood (AL) last Saturday, the Southland Academy Lady Raiders (SAR) rebounded nicely with a 51-43 victory over Westwood on Tuesday, January 12, at the Melvin Kinslow Gymnasium.
“We probably had our best shooting percentages for the year,” said SAR Head Coach Ty Kinslow. “I’m very proud of how our girls responded after a disappointing loss on Saturday. Westwood is a perennial power in AA and they have won several championships over the last few years, so this is a good win.”
Southland Academy guard Maddie Crisp (#24) drives to the basket. Crisp scored 16 points to help lead the Lady Raiders to victory over Westwood.
