Heather Rushin, who separated her shoulder a week earlier, hit five 3-pointers to lead with 15 points.
The problem was the first quarter, when the Lady Tigers raced out to an 18-2 lead. The Lady ’Hounds were unable to make up that deficit, and Fayette County finished with a 61-45 victory in the second round of the Region 3-AAAA Tournament last Wednesday in Fayetteville to end Jones County’s season.
The Lady ’Hounds finished with a 13-13 record.
The Lady Tigers (23-5) went on to down Woodland 47-45 in the semifinals and Alcovy 50-39 in the championship game to win the region title.
Alcovy (25-3) downed Fayetteville (25-2) 73-60 in the boys’ championship game.
