Swatts topped CA with nine points. For Bree Stoddard and fellow senior Logan Mor- ris, winning a state championship this year made up for the heartbreak of a 37-36 loss to Porter-Gaud in last year’s 3A quarterfinals. That team ended with a 22-4 record after winning its first 18 games. “Last year when we lost, it was really disappoint- ing, obviously, but that provided some of my fuel for this year,” said Bree, who was this year’s Re- gion II-2A player of the year. “I wanted to work hard because I knew we were moving down to 2A and I just knew that we could (win the champion- ship). Last year I knew that we could do it but I needed to work hard, so I just put in the work that I thought needed to be done to win it this year.” Morris, who closed with two points, seven re- bounds, five steals and three assists, knew from ex- perience that being the favorite heading into the tournament did not guarantee the Lady Generals a championship. “I started off as a state runner-up a couple of years ago, and that was cool because we weren’t supposed to beat this team. We were the under- dog,” said Morris, who will play softball at USC Up- state. “With us being the No. 1 seed, we were ex- pected to win, but I knew that underdogs could come back. So I knew we had to play our best, play controlled and relaxed, just give it to God and fin- ish it out.” With all of her accomplishments at TSA, Bree called this championship easily the highlight of her years as a Lady General. “Absolutely,” the North Greenville University basketball signee said. “Just being with my sister and my best friend (Morris) on the same team, I’m just so blessed to be able to experience this with two of my favorite people in the world.” Saturday’s result left both teams with 25-5 re- RICK CARPENTER / THE SUMTER ITEM cords, with three of CA’s five losses coming to TSA.
