Excitement bubbled over to mark a milestone day for the Tallulah Falls School middle school girls’ basketball team after winning the Tri-State Conference title against Towns County on Feb. 1, with a final score of 35-25. 

“It took commitment, dedication, and determination to win a championship,” said coach Sharae Long. “A team that was overlooked early in the season persevered and ended the season 13-1. Every girl played a huge role in the success of this team.”
