WOODVILLE &8212; Even though Wilkinson Christian defeated Ben&8217;s Ford on its home court earlier in the season, the chances of the Lady Rams winning on Friday seemed slim.

But the Lady Rams held Callee Pittman and Amantha Shelton in check and used a 13-7 advantage in the fourth quarter to defeat the Lady Eagles 30-24 in the semifinals of the MPSA District 6-A Tournament at WCCA.

&8220;A huge win for us,&8221; Lady Rams head coach Paul Hayles said. &8220;It was really an overall team effort. We beat the No. 2 team in our district, and we&8217;re going to try to find a way to do our best against the No. 1 team in our district.&8221;

Kate Wilkerson led the Lady Rams with 11 points, and Cary Benton had eight points.

PORT GIBSON &8212; In what head coach John Gray said was one of his team&8217;s best games of the season, the Lady Rebels played like a No. 1 seed as they easily defeated Copiah in the semifinals of the MPSA District 3-AA Tournament at Chamberlain-Hunt.

Adams Christian (22-7

led Copiah (11-22) built a 31-11 halftime lead.

&8220;We had the entire package,&8221; Gray said. &8220;We shot the ball well. Defensively and offensively, we can&8217;t play much better than we did tonight. They rebounded the ball well. They handled the ball well.&8221;
