White County’s road game against Stone Memorial was moved from Jan. 28 to Jan. 27 to ensure the district game would be played with the threat of snow for Jan. 28.

The second half began with the Warriorettes dominating the boards, and the scoring continued for WCHS. The Warriorettes put up 25 in the third quarter. Jones had 2, Powers 7, Reed 4, Golden 2, Alaina Stiles 3, Karley Gentry 3, and, at the buzzer to end the third quarter, senior Andi Haston hit a 3 from outside the arc. To start the fourth, Golden hit a 3 from the corner.
Coach Dodgen went to his bench for the fourth quarter to give the younger players some playing time. Bella Stiles passed the ball to a waiting Brayden Taylor from the corner for a 3. Taylor was fouled on the next possession and made both free throws to cap the 73-34 win for the Warriorettes.
