The Todd County Central girls’ basketball team saw its season come to an end on Monday at the 13th-District tournament in Logan County.  Top-seeded Franklin-Simpson got 30 points from Alera Barbee, and the Lady Wildcats led throughout in a 65-48 victory.

The Lady Rebels finish with an 8-16 record and fail to advance in the district tournament for the fourth-straight season.

It was all Barbee with 17 points in the 1st quarter. She drilled a 3-pointer and followed with a steal and layup to give Franklin-Simpson a 21-9 advantage.  After a Todd Central timeout, Lucy Chester scored on a layup, and in the final seconds, Abby Williams had a bucket in the paint to trim the lead to 23-14.

The Lady Rebels scored the first four of the 2nd quarter to cut the lead to five, but the Lady Wildcats had it back to double figures at 32-21 with three minutes to play in the half.

Despite five points in the quarter for Chester and six for Williams, Todd Central trailed 38-27 at halftime.

Williams opened the 2nd half with a layup, but Barbee answered with five straight and Katelyn McAlister knocked down a 3-pointer for a 46-29 Lady Wildcat lead.

Todd Central responded with a 9-2 run, including six points for Alexis Taylor to cut it to ten.  However, Franklin-Simpson scored the final seven points of the quarter to restore the 17-point cushion.

The Lady Rebels never threatened in the 4th, and Franklin-Simpson cruised into Thursday’s title game against the winner of Logan County and Russellville on Tuesday.

Williams led Todd Central with 18, followed by Taylor with 11, and Jamaia Coleman with 10.

Barbee’s 30 led all scorers, with Lyniah Brown also reaching double figures for the Lady Wildcats with 10.
