ROBERTA, Ga. — The Spalding High Jaguars and Lady Jaguars basketball teams rebounded from losses to capture third-place trophies in the finale of the J.B. Hawkins Tournament Thursday.

The Jags defeated Southwest Macon 46-32 and the Lady Jags sped past Central Macon 63-50 on Thursday afternoon.

The Lady Jags, now 3-6 on the year, took a 15-3 first-quarter lead and never looked back against Central Macon’s Lady Chargers.

They led 32-23 at the half and took a 52-32 lead into the fourth quarter before cruising to the victory. Sophomore guard Grenishia Daniel led the way for Spalding with a career-high 16 points and she added five rebounds and four steals as well.

Freshman guard Olivia West also reached double figures, chipping in 13 points, six rebounds and five steals for Spalding. Dee Dee Matthews, a junior, poured in 9 points, 12 rebounds and five blocks.

“In both these tournament games, we’ve reached season-highs in points with 61 and 63,” said a jubilant Lady Jags head coach Demetrius King. “Let’s hope this continues when we host Jackson next week.”
