The Andalusia Lady Bulldogs earned a spot in the Class 4A, Area 2 championship game after defeating Ashford 40-27 Tuesday at Straughn in opening round of the Area 2 tournament.

“We decided to play one half today, but it was the correct one,” Andalusia head coach Brad Garner said. “In the first half, we didn’t really get going on offense, but we picked up the intensity in the second half. We had a couple of big 3-pointer from Taz Sheridan in the first half, and I don’t know where we would be if it wasn’t for those. This is the first time we’ve made it out of the area and three years, and I couldn’t be prouder of these girls.”

The Lady Bulldogs will face Straughn Friday night 6 for the Class 4A, Area 2 championship game.
