TIFTON —
The Tiftarea Academy Panthers and Lady Panthers fell short in their tate tournament efforts this week at Tattnall Square Academy in Macon. The Lady Panthers lost Tuesday to Holy Spirit Prep, 48-39 and the Panthers were bounced by Marietta’s Dominion Christian, 57-41.
Tiftarea’s girls had a halftime lead of 22-17, but their opponents erupted with a strong third quarter, outscoring them 13-2. The Lady Panthers played them almost even in the fourth, but were unable to make up the margin. Rachel Thomason led Tiftarea, who finished 14-16, with eight points. Jarrett McWhorter had seven points and 10 rebounds.
The Panthers also had a halftime lead in their contest — they were up by three — but a strong second half propelled Dominion Christian to the 57-41 victory.
