Our Game of the Week takes us to a rival showdown in Cleveland between White County and Lumpkin County in what is the regular season finale.

WHITE VS LUMPKIN GIRLS

The Lady Warriors have been winners in six of their last eight games, and are looking great overall this season. Some players are looking to heal up for the playoff run, but White County would love to end the regular season strong. Lumpkin has been a great surprise this season and cannot be counted out at all. The Lady Indians have a 4-game win streak coming in, and lost by just a single point last time against White County.

WHITE VS LUMPKIN BOYS

The Warriors are looking to snap a 3-game losing streak. This is still in large part a young team aside from star senior Cohen Michaud. Blayne Gunter might be the top scorer on any given night. Lumpkin has a very balanced team with seemingly very few holes. From the sharp-shooting of Jordan Richerson to the inside dominance of Martin Hulsey, this team is insanely good.
