The Lady Cardinals and Cardinals traveled just a few miles east on Highway 78 and knocked off Hickory Flat by three and five points, respectively. Brittany Pitts’ three at the buzzer was the difference as the Potts Camp girls beat the Lady Rebels 65-62. “It’s the second time this week (also versus North Pontotoc on Tuesday), that we decided to wait until the fourth quarter to play,” coach Tana Miller said. Potts Camp trailed 16-10 following one quarter, 29-25 at the half and 46-42 after three. But they rallied in the fourth, outscoring Hickory Flat 23-16 for the three-point victory.

The Potts Camp boys downed Hickory Flat in the nightcap, 68-63, for just their second win of the season. They had lost to the Rebels by three early in the season. Jamarquis Foster poured in a game-high 24 points for the Cardinals. Jarvis Jones was next with 14 and Keldrick Wiseman had 11. Potts Camp took control early, going up 14-6 in the opening period.
