Wood and Adrijana Albijanic had back-to-back buckets to open the fourth, as TFS took its first lead at 40-37. Albijanic had a putback to push it to 42-39, but Towns County rallied to take the win. Tallulah Falls had the ball with a chance to tie on the final possession, but couldn't get a shot off.
Wood led the team with 14 points and had 10 rebounds as well, while James and Mitchell had nine apiece. Phasavang and Albinjanic both finished with six, and Millie Holcomb chipped in three.
Tallulah Falls is now 1-2 overall, and returns to action on Friday at Stephens County.
