BISHOP BYRNE GIRLS 40, DAVIDSON ACADEMY 38

Bishop Byrne's Rachaal Clayton layup with 36 seconds left in the game gave the Lady Red Knights a 39-38 lead and Brittany Walls added a free throw with 10 seconds remaining to give Bishop Byrne a 40-38 win over Nashville's Davidson Academy in today's semifinal game at David Lipscomb University.

Davidson Academy's Alexandria Warfield had an opportunity to tie the game with no time left, but missed her first free throw.

Walls led the Lady Red Knights with 18 points on 7-of-11 shooting Clayton added 10 points.

Bishop Byrne led by as many as 12 points (15-3) in the first quarter, before Davidson tied the game at 23 early in the third quarter.

Bishop Byrne will play either Lausanne or Harding in Friday's 6 p.m. girls championship game. This is the first-time for Byrne to reach a state championship game in girls basketball.
