Coming into the Tennessee-Georgia girls’ high school all-star basketball game Tuesday, the Georgia team was facing a tall order — one that proved to be too tall to overcome.
With four post players hovering around and above the 6-foot range compared to one for Georgia, the Tennessee team broke open a close game in the second quarter and cruised to a 60-31 victory.
Tennessee now leads the series 8-4.
Bradley Central provided two of Tennessee’s post players. One, 6-foot-2 Rebecca Reuter, was chosen Tennessee’s player of the game after totaling 12 points, seven rebounds, two blocks and two assists.
