MEADVILLE — Tadayla Hunt scored a game-high 21 points as the Franklin County Lady Bulldogs rallied in the fourth quarter to defeat the Jefferson County Lady Tigers 49-47 Thursday night in an MHSAA Division 7-3A game.

Franklin County led Jefferson County 8-5 at the end of the first quarter, but the Lady Tigers responded by outscoring the Lady Bulldogs 17-5 in a dominant second quarter to take a 22-13 lead into halftime.

It didn’t look like the Lady Bulldogs were even going to make a game of it after being down 31-22 after three quarters of play. However, the home team had a big-time answer of their own as they made just about every shot they took in the fourth quarter and outscored the Lady Tigers 27-16 to pull out the two-point win.

Diamond Gaines and Dionna Jackson led the Lady Tigers with 14 points each. Danielle Washington chipped in with eight points for the Lady Bulldogs.

Jefferson County (2-3 in division play) hosts Wesson at 6 p.m. today. Franklin County plays host to Crystal Springs at 6 p.m. today.
