Riverdale girls beat Houston to reach title game

defending TSSAA girls champion Riverdale took another step closer to another title and possible national title with a 69-50 victory over Houston on Friday at Murphy Center.

Riverdale will face Memphis Central at 1 p.m. in the AAA state championship game.

"This really means a lot," said Miss Basketball Anastasia Hayes. "We sat in these same seats last year and made it our goal to be back. We are in the championship but it's not over. We take one game at a time and we still have one left."

The 19-point victory came for Riverdale after only holding a three-point halftime lead in what seemingly was to going to be a close game.
