MACON, Ga. (WTVM) - The Carver Tigers earned their second GHSA Class 4A girls state basketball title in three years with a 70-54 win over the Cairo Syrupmaids on Wednesday at the Macon Coliseum.
The Tigers (16-2) trailed 27-23 in the second quarter when they went on a 16-0 run keyed by a pressure defense that led to several fastbreak layups after steals, taking a 41-32 lead at the break.
They extended that lead to 50-32 with a 9-0 run to open the half. The Syrupmaids (18-2) cut the lead to seven, but the Tigers responded again. An Akirya Robinson layup at the third quarter buzzer made it 57-45, and that pretty much sealed the deal.
