Girls - Greenbrier 50 - White House 39
If only the ball going through the hoop weren't an integral part of the game ...
The Lady Devils struggled again from the field, shooting a paltry 12-of-67, and fell to the Lady Cats 50-39.
Despite the poor shooting, White House used solid defense to spark two second-half runs that closed the gap from 16 points to 6; however, Greenbrier hit 9-of-10 fourth-quarter free throws to preserve the victory. Greenbrier center Haley Hatfield led all scorers with 20 points, hitting 10-of-13 shots from the floor. White House guard Kate Armstrong led Blue Devils with 13.
GREENBRIER (50) - Hatfield 20, Dever 13, Butler 7, Williams 6, Shields 2, Rider 2
WHITE HOUSE (39) - Armstrong 13, Briley 9, Fogle 5, Guidicy 4, Thompson 2, Trobough 2, Chatman 2, Stamps 1

Boys - Greenbrier 49 - White House 59
District 9-AA leader White House extended the gap Tuesday night with a 59-49 win over rival Greenbrier.
After a sluggish start, the Blue Devils used a 15-2 first-quarter run to distance themselves from the visitors, and never trailed again. WH guard Taylor Ward and Greenbrier standout Craig Bradshaw staged their own personal 3-point shootout, with each hitting five. Bradshaw, who left the game late in the fourth after hitting his head on the floor, led all scorers with 23. Ward led the hosts with 18 points.
The game was marred by punches thrown with just over a second left in the third quarter. Cody Hall and Seth Pemberton were both ejected for fighting after a scrum under the basket.
GREENBRIER (49) - Bradshaw 23, Pemberton 10, Greer 6, Rhoten 5, Peach 3, Porter 2
WHITE HOUSE (59) - Ward 18, Poindexter 16, Hill 8, Tidwell 5, Elrod 5, Crouch 4, Hall 1
