Alysha Rudnik added 12 points for Buford, which finished with eight 3-pointers.
Jones hit six of her team’s nine 3-pointers and finished with a game-high 22 points for Laney (26-4), but the Lady Wildcats fell behind 21-14 in the first period and never found a big run overcome it.
Buford, the No. 2 seed from Region 6-AA, led 32-23 at halftime and 49-36 after three quarters.
