GREENVILLE &045; Porter’s Chapel had too many players with the first name Amy for Wilkinson County Christian Academy’s Lady&160;Rams to handle Tuesday afternoon.

Amy Beaugh, Annie Beaugh and Amy Rutledge combined to score 39 points as the Lady Eagles defeated the Lady Rams 50-42 in the first round of the MPSA Class A South State Tournament at Greenville Christian School.

While WCCA’s season came to an end, Porter’s Chapel advanced to the quarterfinals to take on Claiborne Academy, which received a first-round bye for being the No. 1 seed from District 6-A, at 4 p.m. Thursday.

However, what won the game wasn’t how many the Beaughs had but how they did at the free throw line.

&uot;They made their free throws and we didn’t,&uot; Lady Rams head coach Sam Byrd said. &uot;They made 14 of 18 free throws.&uot;

Amy Beaugh led Porter’s Chapel with 15 points but was held under her average.

&uot;Amy Beaugh was averaging over 20 points a game and we held her to 15, so I’m proud of that,&uot; Byrd said.

Annie Beaugh scored 14 points and Rutledge chipped in with 10.

The Lady Rams (8-15) played well in the first quarter and took a 10-9 lead over ther Lady Eagles going into the second quarter. But Porter’s Chapel, the No. 4 seed from District 5, took control over the next two quarters to take a 34-27 lead after three quarters of play.

&uot;It was a close game throughout,&uot; Byrd said. &uot;My girls did well. We couldn’t make the shots. The girls played hard.&uot;

MEADVILLE &045; Things were touch-and-go in a key Region 7-3A matchup for the opening three quarters and then the Lady Bulldogs let Hazlehurst have it.
