At the Charlie A. Gray Middle School gymnasium on Saturday, the seventh-graders also had little trouble with their Hahira counterparts.

The seventh-grade Packers are now 7-4 after their 34-29 victory.

Looking to hold on to their likely No. 3 seed in the South Georgia Athletic Conference tournament, the Packers rallied from a four-point, fourth-quarter deficit to get the five-point victory.

“We played a nice fourth quarter,” said coach John Phillips. “We held (Hahira) to just two points.

“It was a nice one to win. We’re just trying ot get ready to do something in the tournament.”

Kenji Thompson had the big plays in the fourth quarter, hitting a pair of 3-pointers.

The game was tied 7-7 after the first quarter and Colquitt trailed 17-12 at the half and 27-23 heading into the final quarter.

Brandon Key led the seventh-grade Packers with 11 points. Thompson had six and Daniel Mobley added five.

The seventh-grade girls led 5-0 after the first quarter and 13-2 at the half and eased on to a 24-10 victory.

“The story of the game was that we shut them down in the first half,” Coach Jon Scroggins said.

The Lady Packers were led by Dexshalyn Polite, who had 10 points.

Abbi Beth Paulk had six, Josey Fowler had four and Jazzlyn Collier and Ashlee Parrish each had two.

The victory raises the seventh-grade girls record to 5-6.

The seventh-graders will play their final pre-tournament games on Friday at Tifton.
