Lausanne and H W Byers
The first game kicked offed with Tennessee's Division 2 State runner-up Lausanne Collegiate School against defending Mississippi 2A state champs, H. W. Byers. This was an extremely slow paced game with both teams playing zone. It seemed pretty evenly matched after a 16 point 1st quarter effort by both teams. Second quarter H.W. Byers pulled away behind big quarters from 6'0 junior Kourtney Coleman and 5'7 freshman Precious Rodgers. Kaitlyn Butler-Morris was the main offensive weapon for Lausanne with 7 points other than Hannah Summerfield's single 3 point field gold in the quarter.
Kourtney Coleman did not start the 3rd quarter because of a minor sickness, however 5'11 sophomore guard Alexis Hardaway picked up the slack hitting 10 points to help stretch the lead to 13. During a stretch in the fourth H.W. Byers got a little relaxed and Lausanne put on a press to try to cut the lead down. Senior guard Breanna Williams hit 12 points during the stretch but fouled out the game. This really hurt because the team was already limited with out Lauren Avant in the line up due to injury, 5'11 senior Erin Riley previously fouling out and Katelyn Butler-Morris out early in the 3rd with a shoulder injury. H.W. Byers won 61-48.
