By Brandon K. Pierce The Sports Ledger The Plainview varsity girls defense was able to hold Geraldine standout Gracey Johnson to only 21 points in the title game of the 2022 Northeast Regional Tournament, while the Lady Bears' offense connected on nine 3-point baskets en route to a 76-50 victory over the Lady Bulldogs. With the win over DeKalb County rival Geraldine, the Lady Bears earned the opportunity to compete in the 2022 Girls’ Class 3A Final Four State Tournament. Saydi Jackson paced Plainview with a double- double of 15 points and 11 rebounds. For her efforts she was named the Regional Tournament MVP.
Jimmerson, and Jocelyn Hatfield all scored 13 points each. Jimmerson and Hatfield also had three 3-pointers each and both were named to the All- tournament team. Mylie Butler scored seven points for the Lady Bears. Ali Price had six points, Cadence Liles netted four points, Sawyer Hulgan made a 3-pointer, and Kadie Brooks was 2 of 2 from the foul line for two points. Geraldine’s Johnson usually has a hot hand from three-point range, but she struggled in the championship game against Plainview, making only one of eight attempts. She was also only four of twenty from inside the three-point line.
