Stephens Co. Rec Basketball Teams compete in State Tourney

By Ken Brady

The Stephens County Parks & Recreation 10 & Under Boys basketball team almost came away with a state championship last Saturday at Gordon County.  The 10 U boys had easy wins in their first 2 games over Gordon County and Baldwin County.  But in the semifinals and championship, it was a different story.  Stephens County got by Hapeville in the semis, 43 to 41, but lost by only 1 point in the championship, 42 to 41. 

Four other Stephens County teams participated in state tournaments last weekend:

8 & Under Girls at Jackson County made it to the semifinals, but lost to Murray County. 

14 & Under Boys lost in 2 games at Effingham County. 

12 & Under Girls lost in 2 games at Thomasville

12 & Under Boys lost in 2 games at Carrollton
