Ware County’s bid to reach its first Final Four in 61 years was thwarted by visiting top-ranked Creekside Tuesday night in an Elite 8 Top 10 matchup.
The eighth-ranked Region 1 champion Lady Gators (25-5) had their eight-game winning streak snapped by the unbeaten Region 4 champion Lady Seminoles (31-0) falling 63-46 February 25.
Ware County last reached the seminfinals in 1964 en route to winning the Lady Gators’ lone state title during Genevive Strickland’s (Pope) tenure. WCHS opened the eight-team (region champs) AA tournament beating Elbert County 48-22. The Lady Gators knocked off Douglas County 39-28 in the semifinals and turned back Dodge County 44-35 in the championship game.
