Lady Red Advance To State Semi-Final
The Cocke County Lady Red left the Cocke County High School late Tuesday morning with a mission of bringing home a state title. The first step towards that mission was completed last night. The Lady Red defeated the Liberty Creek Lady Wolves in Murfreesboro last night 59-44. The Lady Red had to overcome a double digit deficit early as they fell behind 20-7. Cocke County would go on a 14-0 run to take the lead at halftime. Strong results at the free throw line would help put the game away in the second half and the Lady Red are in the final four in the 3A State Championship.
The Lady Red will play White County Friday afternoon with tip off expected to be around 2:15pm. In the other action last yesterday, Alcoa defeated Tullahoma and Dyersburg defeated Daniel Boone. So Alcoa will take on Dyersburg in the early game Friday with Cocke County and White County following. The winners will meet in the championship game Saturday afternoon at 1:30.
