Sweet 16 Report: March 19th Edition

The quarterfinals of the 99th annual Whitaker Bank Sweet 16 was the most exciting day of the tournament yet.

Paul Laurence Dunbar trailed Bowling 23-9 at the end of the 1st quarter and,even after a rally in the next quarter, the Bulldogs went into the break down by ten 36-26.

During the second half, Dunbar outscored the Purples 31-15 and won 57-51 thanks in large part to their physicality on defense and big games from Darius Williams, Taveion Hollingsworth, and Justin Kelley.

For the second game in a row, the Doss Dragons jumped out to an early lead, this time over Taylor County, only to watch their opponent climb back into the game.
