Lady Pirates headed to Elite 8
The Lady Pirates advanced by defeating Brantley County in the first round and defeating Screven County in round two.
"Our team has been underdogs in both rounds and we've come out on top," said coach Joey Satterfield. "We earned our spot in the Elite 8. We don't mind being the underdogs, we relish it. We're looking forward to paying back Union County for our two losses in the first round of the 2009 state playoffs."

Great season Lady's! Wish I could have seen a game in the tournament, this format makes it hard for working folks to make it to a game.
