Prior to the Pickens Dragonettes scheduled game against Alpharetta, a decision was made that they will not be going back to in-person learning as planned on January 6th, and that all extracurricular activities would be shut down for the week. A couple hours later, another decision was made to allow the extracurricular activities starting on Tuesday, January 5th. The Nettes came into their game against the Southeast Whitfield Lady Raiders having won 7 straight to close out 2020 and looked to continue that as they started the 2021 portion of the schedule. Continue it they did as they picked up their 9th win of the season, and 4th win in region play, 59-25.
