In just over 20 seconds, Statesboro’s Zaquavian Smith turned a nip-and-tuck contest into a game that the Blue Devils controlled throughout the final half. After trailing in the opening minutes of Saturday’s Class AAAA second round state playoff matchup against Jonesboro at the Devil’s Den, Smith led a comeback charge. Smith followed up a monstrous dunk with a steal and a pull-up 3-pointer to give Statesboro a 10 point lead at the half.
