The Armuchee Lady Indians were crowned champions of Region 6-A Public. The Lady Indians earned a first-round bye into the Sweet 16 and will face the Washington-wilkes High

“I am very proud of this team for what they were able to accomplish,” Indians coach Jamey Rice said in an emailed statement. “I am especially proud of the leadership from my seniors, Darby Hopper, Ethan Mcghee, Zain Waseem, Wyatt Miller, David Lovett, and Noah Hood. They are a great group and I hate that I won’t get to be around them everyday next year. However, I am not worried about them as they pursue their plans for the future. They will excel in whatever they decide to do.”

The Darlington Lady Tigers will be the No. 4 seed from Region 7-A Private. They travel to King’s Ridge, Region 6-A Private’s No. 1 seed. The Darlington boys tennis team achieved the No. 2 seed from Region 7-A Private and will host Pinecrest Academy.
