2-11-2021  (GIRLS)  SAINT JAMES 52, BTW-Tuskegee 39

K.K. Hall scored 19 points on her way to being named Most Valuable Player of the 4A Area 5 Girls Basketball tournament as Saint James won its 21st area tournament in 42 seasons by defeating the BTW-Tuskegee Lady Eagles 52 - 39.

Traviana Fielder scored an early basket for the Lady Eagles to give them a 2 - 0 lead.  It would be their only lead.  Saint James would score the next 9 points and hold off a flurry by BTW which cut the lead to 2 at the end of the first quarter.  However, the Trojans outscored the Eagles 16 - 7 in the second quarter and maintained a 10 - 16 point lead for the remainder of the game.  Ava Card added 16 points for Saint James and Danielle Green added 5.  They were both named to the All-Tournament Team.  Zakiya Alexander led BTW with 11 points, but the Eagles' representatives on the all tournament team were Deshayla Robinson and Makayla Sanders.  BTW was the only team in the tournament to play two games, defeating Bullock County for the right to face off against Saint James.

The Trojans (17 - 7) will host the loser of the Geneva / Straughn game on Monday at 6:30 PM in the first round of the 4A Substate tournament.
