“We played really good in the first half,” said PCA coach Kevin Griffin, who will find out today who his team will play in the South State tournament. “We came out and knocked down some big shots early and made some 3-pointers.”

Griffin has a onference call at 10 this morning to decide who and when his team will be playing at Glenbrook Academy in Shreveport, La.

The Lady Eagles will meet the Conference 6-A third-place team on either Monday or Tuesday.

Humphreys upset Deer Creek in the Conference 5-A finals and now PCA is in the same bracket as Deer Creek, a team the Lady Eagles lost to twice this season.
