However, Boynton also had three girls reach double figures with Aisha Lang netting a game-high 18. Kerisha Parker scored 14 and Brittany Lang 12 to help the Lady Cardinals clinch the district title and move into the regional winners' bracket against Schulter.

Webbers Falls dropped to 12-12 and will play Calvin at 1:30 p.m. Thursday in the regional losers' bracket at Boynton.

The game was close early on, but Boynton went on a 20-10 run during the second stanza and pulled away to run its record to 12-14 overall.

Webbers Falls had advanced to the district finals by opening the playoffs Thursday night with a 29-28 win over Midway. Boynton topped Braggs in the first round.

Midway opened up a nine-point lead in the second quarter and maintained it the rest of the way to eliminate the Warriors from the district playoffs on Friday night.

A.J. Van Brunt pumped in 18 points to guide the Chargers to the district title game, where they were defeated 122-79 by second-ranked Boynton on Saturday.

Ryan Vanderpool led all scorers with 21 points for Webbers Falls. Cody Carter added 12, Derek Dandridge 12, Brian Shamblin nine andKalib Webb five.

The Warriors had split their two regular season meetings with Midway, including a win on the Chargers' home court the previous Monday. They were within three early in the second quarter, but Midway opened up a 39-30 edge by halftime.

Webbers Falls got as close as eight on three occasions in the second half, but could not complete the comeback and exited the playoffs.

After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher.
