In Dawson, the FA Knights ran past Southwest Georgia Academy 40-33 in the fi rst round of the Georgia Independent School Association Class AA playoffs. The Knights (18-4), the defending Class AA champions and the No. 3 seed from Region 2-AA, move to the quarterfi nal round and one game closer to a repeat. Sam Heery had 22 points to lead the FA boys, who trailed 26-21 after three quarters and out-scored the Warriors 19-7 in the final frame. Malcolm Mann fi nished with 10 points and 13 rebounds. “Sam was 13-of-16 from the free throw line, and Malcolm played like a man possessed,” said Knights coach Ed Wilson. Frederica will likely face Furtah Prep (30-0) on Saturday — a rematch of last year’s state final. | | back | |
