N. Clayton girls face identity crisis

With questions surrounding the calf injury suffered by North Clayton’s Latia Williams — specifically, whether she will be back to contribute to a playoff run — one of the county’s best teams is having to adjust its identity on the fly.

But there are others ready to step into the void.

Jonesboro has assumed first place in Region 4-AAAA Division A. Overall the Lady Cardinals, led by junior guard Dramecka Griggs, are 16-5 and they’re 8-1 in region play after throttling Riverdale Tuesday.

And then there’s Mundy’s Mill. The Lady Tigers have 17 wins — the same number they had last year, coach Lonnie Farmer said — and they have six games left in the regular season. In wins over Tri-Cities and Hiram last week they allowed a combined 49 points.

On the mat

Having turned their attention to individual competition after missing the state duals tournament, two Lovejoy wrestlers are feeling confident after strong performances at the area duals two weeks ago. Senior Quintin McKee went 6-0 in the 125-pound weight class, while Tobias Harris, wrestling at 160, lost only to Stockbridge’s Ben Jones, that defeat coming in overtime. Harris had beaten Jones at the South Metro Tournament, and the two could square off two more times at the area and state individual tournaments.
