However, in this week’s GaSports.com coaches poll, Washington is ranked No. 2 in the region, making Saturday’s game a battle for the top spot.

Jordan McRae and Rion Brown paced the Panthers, each earning 13 points.

After losing to Baldwin by 18 points last week, the Lady Panthers looked to turn the tables against the Battle Creek Lady Warriors. Freshman Diamone Johnson emerged as a leader, fighting for rebounds and improving her shot. Johnson led the offense with 12 points against Tattnall County.

The Lady Panthers are ranked No. 4 in the region after Baldwin, Washington and Richmond Hill. A win at Washington would move them up the rankings, however, the last time they played, the Lady Panthers lost 49-53.
