South Greene (2-0) stamped its ticket to the tourney's boys' championship match-up with a win in a game which was extremely competitive from the onset.

North Greene (3-1) jumped out to an 8-0 advantage and never trailed until a 3-pointer from senior Scott Blake gave the Rebels a 19-17 lead with 25 seconds left in the half. Blake finished with a double- double for SG by tallying 16 points and adding 10 rebounds.

SG pulled away with steady work at the charity stripe in the final minute to cement the outcome.

Dylan Payne fired in 12 points and Drew Lady 11 for the Huskies. Cody Britton ripped down eight rebounds for NG.

The South Greene ladies (2-0) pulled away from a nip-and-tuck battle in the second half in knocking off Morristown East (2-1).

SG buried 27 of 33 free throws in answering every Lady Hurricanes' charge and wore down East in the final stanza.

Rechelle Dye topped the Lady Rebels with 23 points but there was also balance as Brandi Crum dropped in 17 while Ansley Ricker and Maelyn Cutshaw contributed 11 apiece. Dye poured in 15 in the second half. Ricker also pulled down seven rebounds. Megan Blaylock collected a double-double for ME with a game-best 28 markers (19 in the first half) and 10 rebounds. Kayla Orrick added 15.

Chuckey-Doak (2-0) again used a strong finish to nip Cherokee (2-1) in the other girls semifinal. Late 3-pointers from Brooke White and Christian Ward, along with a driving bank-shot by Karly Frye, pulled the Lady Knights from a 42-42 deadlock in the last three minutes of play.

Ward led the winners with 15 points with Frye and White close behind with 14 apiece. Tiffany Bowman collected five rebounds to lead C-D. Post players Casey Ryans and Christina Maddox topped the Lady Chiefs in scoring with 13 and 10 points, respectively. Ryans hauled down a game-high seven boards.

The Hampton Bulldogs (3-0) rolled to a 20-point second half and cruised into the championship game.
