Led by senior Kaylee Sticker, the Lady Tigers opened the first half with a fast-paced offense that pushed Lumpkin County to the edge but never quite pushed them over. The Lady Tigers took a slim 5-point lead into the locker room.
The lead changed hands in the third quarter as the Lady Indians managed to shut down Dawson County offense and took a 5-point lead into the fourth quarter.
