Cold Springs blew out Cornerstone 68-40 in the subregional round and then beat Tuscaloosa Academy 50-42 in the regional semi-finals.

The Lady Eagles beat Francis Marion 7o-60 in the central regional final, and now the two teams will battle for a spot in the state championship.

Valley

The Valley Rams will play northeast regional champions, Scottsboro, for a chance to play in the state championship.
