•Born: May 6, 1994, in Memphis

•Toughest opponent: Aspriona Gilbert (Myrtle)

Monday's District Roundup Recaps

Bartlett's Rachell Hughes drives on Arlington's Chyna Ellis during the District 14-AAA tournament title game. Hughes scored 18 points but the Panthers lost, 52-42.

Arlington takes 14-AAA title

MVP Ariel Hearn, a University of Memphis signee, scored 16 points, and senior forward Logan Hammonds stepped up in the fourth quarter as the Arlington (24-3) girls won their second straight district tournament title with a 52-42 decision over Bartlett (18-11) on Monday at Bolton.

“All I know is that we did what we had to do and won,” said Hearn, whose only fourth-quarter points came at the foul line.

It was Hammonds, a 6-foot forward headed to Arkansas-Monticello, who stepped up in the shooting department after three chilly quarters. She moved in for two short-range jumpers, then nailed an open three in a 10-0 Arlington run that made it 46-35 midway through the final quarter.

“I was so bad in the third, but then I hit one shot, then another …. ” said Hammonds, who scored nine of her 10 points in the final quarter.

The constant was interior defense as 6-2 sophomore Chyna Ellis had 12 rebounds and five of her team's nine blocked shots, as the Tigers repeatedly frustrated attempts by Bartlett to drive the lane.
