With their season hanging in the balance, the Cherokee Lady Yellow Jackets knocked off Rhea Middle School, 42-40, Friday evening in the consolation game of the Area 4-AAA Tournament at Cherokee.

The Roane State Raiderettes were living dangerously in the final minutes of their game with the Columbia State Lady Chargers, nearly giving up a 17-point lead before short-circuiting the Lady Chargers comeback aspirations en route to the 65-62 win on Saturday afternoon. 

It may have been a bit hairy at times, but the Kingston Lady Jackets escaped Scott High with a 48-41 win over the Lady Highlanders on Friday evening.

Scott started the game on a 9-0 run before the Lady Jackets battled back on an 8-2 swing to pull within 11-8 at the end of the first period.

The Rockwood Lady Tigers and Tigers picked up district wins Friday night against visiting Midway. 

The Tiger sweep helps to clear up the seeding for the District 3-A Tournament that begins next week.
