GLENBROOK, La. — The Trinity girls squad finished second in the MAIS AA South State tournament, falling to Claiborne Academy 53-49 Saturday.

Despite outscoring Claiborne in three of the game’s four quarters, Claiborne’s 19-10 spurt in the second quarter was enough to secure the win.

D’Asia Mitchell was Trinity’s leading scorer with 19 points. Claiborne got a strong scoring contribution from Maddan Parhan who poured in a game-high 24 points.

With the runner-up finish in the tournament, Trinity will enter next week’s tournament as the No. 2 seed from the South.

COLUMBIA — Adams County Christian School outscored Columbia Academy 38-21 in the first half en route to recording a 74-61 win in the consolation game of the MAIS AAA girls South State tournament.

Bailey Boyd and Anna McDaniel each recorded 17 points, in addition to being named to the all-tournament team. McKenzie Boyd added 14 points.

ACCS improves to 24-9 and will play Kirk Academy next week in the state tournament.

“Everybody brought their game,” Hall said. “We’re one team playing for one lord … To God be the glory.”
