BLACK ROCK -- The Armorel girls basketball team escaped a late charge by Bay to win the 1A-3 East District Tournament Saturday in Black Rock.
The Lady Tigers led 49-41 with 1:06 left in the game, before Bay cut the lead to 49-46 with 8.6 seconds left. But Armorel's Alexis Betts was fouled on an inbounds play, and hit one of two free throws to give the Lady Tigers a 50-46 lead.
Bay was then unable to score, giving Armorel the win.
Madison Carr, Katelyn Brown, Alexis Betts, Melanique Middlebrook and Denaissa Middlebrook all earned All-Conference honors for the Lady Tigers.
Armorel is 19-6 on the season, and will play Norfolk in the Regional Tournament Wednesday in Brockwell. Game time is 7 p.m.
