South Side held Homestead to just nine points in the first half, but the Spartans shut down the Archers in the third quarter and did just enough to win 33-31 and claim the Class 4A Columbia City sectional title on Saturday night, Homestead s third straight sectional title and seventh in eight years.
Junior Ayanna Patterson scored 21 of her team s points, and the Spartans (18-5), who hit eight 3-pointers against Columbia City in the semifinals on Friday, hit just two of 11 attempts on Saturday and shot 26.7% from the field as a team.
