Jacobi Lynn scored on McMinn Central’s first possession of the game Wednesday night. It was a nice post move.

She scored again on the next trip down the court – and two of three possessions after that.

Lady Chargers coach Johnny Morgan had a plan on how to play his cards in the Region 3-AA tournament championship, and he showed them early.

He gave Lynn the ball all over the floor and she produced.

Lynn came within three points of tying her career high, scoring 34 points in the Lady Chargers’ 68-58 win over Sequoyah in East Ridge’s Catherine Neely Gymnasium.
