In the final quarter, Smith scored another 3-pointer, while Seth Parker scored four points, Rogers scored five points and Jones scored 12.

Coach Shavon Brown was very proud of his team.

“Tuesday night’s game had a mirror effect, Rocky Springs team is basically Grace team, we just shown growth with our perseverance in tough times like the 3rd quarter & finished the game strong. If we all buy into the motto of one game at a time, the family(players, coaches, fans) of Grace will continue to succeed,” Brown said.

The Cougars will play again Saturday night at 7 p.m. against Habersham School, number one seed in Region two. The game will be played at Brewton Parker. Those unable to attend can look for pictures
