“We won the last two regular season games and I think our seniors provided outstanding leadership this year,” Robinson said.

“We’ve had a lot of young kids. We’ve progressed as the season went and that’s what you ask as a coach. They’ve played hard every single game. All a coach can ask is for the players to play hard and they’ve done that every single minute.”

Both teams exchanged baskets to open the game, but Southside never trailed and outscored Jemison 16-4 in the opening quarter.
