    Somebody had to pay and that somebody was Unaka.

    That was pretty much the message delivered Friday evening as the Midway Lady Green Waves bounced back from a frustrating loss in Wednesday’s Region 2-A Championship game against Coalfield by pounding the Lady Rangers in the TSSAA Class A Sectional, 10-3.

    Wednesday’s loss was a 1-0 heartbreaker against the Lady Jackets, but Midway co-head coaches Robbie Viar and Craig Hutchinson knew at the time that their team would come back with a vengeance.
