DAHLONEGA No matter what happened Friday night at a packed-out Lynn Cottrell Gym, history was being made.
Unfortunately for the Lumpkin County girls, they will not get a much-anticipated shot at a state title after a heartbreaking 46-45 loss to Cross Creek in the Class 3A semifinals.
Cross Creek’s Erin Martin scooped up a pass from a falling Jordyn Dorsey on a frantic inbounds play in the final 5 seconds and converted a layup at the buzzer for the game-winner.
That came after Lumpkin County had battled from 41-37 down to take a 45-44 lead on an Isabel Davenport free throw with 5 seconds remaining.
