Lady Wildcats coast; face Hephzibah Monday

Laney's Lady Wildcats sailed through its road game Friday with a 69-19 win over Westside that was never in question. Aubriana Bonner led the way with 19 points, and Desha Benjamin added 12.

Aubriana Bonner eyes a layup Friday at Westside.

Laney faces region foe Hephzibah Monday in the quarterfinal round of the Richmond County Christmas tournament at Glenn Hills. Since learning all 8 Richmond County boys and girls teams would participate, I've been hoping for a Laney-Cross Creek meeting on the girls side.

The way the brackets are structured, Both teams will need to win two games if they are to meet in Wednesday's championship game. Like Laney, Cross Creek's first task is to get past a region opponent (Richmond) in Monday's round.

I'll post a preview to the tournament before the finish of the weekend, so stay tuned!
