USJ wins state
USJ stays alive to win Division II-A girls’ basketball championship

For the first time in school history, University School of Jackson is a state champion in basketball.
The Lady Bruins hoops team outlasted Goodpasture 70-58 in three overtimes, outscoring the Lady Cougars 14-2 in the final four-minute period.
“I could not be more proud of this team,” said head coach Joel Ayers in the postgame press conference. “They had plenty of times in this game when they could’ve packed it up and went home, but they didn’t.
“They kept pressing and pushing and playing smarter as the game went on.”
Things looked good for the Lady Bruins early on when they jumped out to a quick lead and led 16-9 at the end of the first quarter.
But the Lady Bruins had a hard time scoring in the second quarter and only managed two points in the period as Goodpasture slowly pulled back and took a one-point lead at halftime.
USJ’s shooting struggles continued in the third quarter, while Goodpasture looked at times as if it couldn’t miss a shot as off-balance efforts by different players including Brooklyn Jones and La’Zaviona Hawkins banked in.
Goodpasture led by six going into the fourth.
“Get a stop. Score. Get a stop. Score,” that was almost a chant the players in the press conference – Ellen Driver, Ava Barham, Haylen Ayers and Lilly Teague – began repeating after Ayers was asked about his message at that point in the game.
“They were either going to figure it out, or this was it, and fortunately they figured it out,” Joel Ayers said.
The Lady Bruins clawed their way back in and took a 40-39 lead with 2:02 remaining.
The teams swapped the lead for the rest of the way with having 41 at the end of regulation and again in the first overtime with the score tied at 48 to force a second extra period.
Driver was the one who had the shooting heroics to keep the game within a possession with a pair of free throws on one poss
