The Warren Central Lady Vikes kept rolling through their region schedule Friday, and now will get another chance at the one team that has tripped them up so far.

Zion Harvey led a balanced team scoring effort with 12 points, and Kayleigh Karel scored 11 as Warren Central defeated Terry 50-44 on Friday.

Tamiya Sims and Jae’la Smith each scored eight points for the Lady Vikes (12-7, 4-1 MHSAA Region 6-6A), and Jamiya Sanders added seven.

Toniah Watts had a game0-high 16 points for Terry (7-17, 1-4), which lost its fifth game in a row.

Warren Central has won three of its last four games heading into its final region game Tuesday at 6 p.m. at Northwest Rankin. The Lady Vikes have secured at least the No. 2 seed for the Region 6-6A tournament that begins Feb. 6.

Warren Central’s only loss was a 59-51 setback against Northwest Rankin on Jan. 17. It would need to win by at least nine points Tuesday to earn the No. 1 seed for the region tournament, otherwise it will play Terry again in the first round.
