On Friday night before a packed house at TRCC, the Lady Bears of Greenville kept the pressure on against Twin Rivers' Lady Royals straight through to a nail-biting 66-60 victory, gaining the MSHSAA Class 3 District 2 championship title.

It was a situation where some of the youngsters were really stepping up...where some of the normally quiet players had to be big players."
