The Jets defeated top-ranked Baker 80-66 in the state semi-finals before falling at the last second in the finals to number five Enterprise 66-64. The Elkmont girls defeated Carbon Hill in the regional semi-finals 64-23 and were eliminated in the finals by Susan Moore 59-31.
At the state wrestling meet, Athens’ Will Anderson won his Class 5A-6A 120-lb. weight class; James Clemens’ Sebastian Davis finished third in the 7A 170-lb. division.
