SOPERTON — The Claxton girls erased an eight-point deficit in a thrilling semifinal win Monday night, but couldn’t make lightning strike twice. Claxton trimmed a 25-13 halftime deficit to as few as three points in the fourth quarter before Calvary Day regrouped and held on for a 49-44 win to claim the Region 3-A tournament championship. “Right now we’re very disappointed,” Claxton coach Laura Aziz said.
