A-Public girls semifinals: Terrell County 63, Greenville 56

Terrell County held off a 30-point performance by Greenville’s star sophomore Brittany Davis as Timarus Whiting and Brittany Williams helped position the victorious Greenwave a win away from clinching their first state title since 2005 and fourth in program history. Terrell County led 33-22 in the second quarter but Davis added a field goal and a free-throw in the closing seconds to cut it to 33-25 at the half. The Terrell County lead grew to 43-29 midway threw the third quarter, but back-to-back 3-pointers by Destani Parks, who finished with five made deep balls in the game brought it back to a single-digit game (43-35) with 1:04 left in the period. Whiting was later fouled at the buzzer and made a free throw to give Terrell County a 46-37 lead entering the fourth. Greenville chipped away at the lead with more sharp-shooting from Parks and Davis’ aggressive drives to the basket. The Patriots eventually made it a 60-56 game with 58 seconds left but nine seconds later Davis fouled out with her 30-points and a Whiting free throw and a pair of makes by Jamya McDaniel ended the game with a 3-0 run.
