DALTON, Ga. – Jon Morgan stole the show in the first half of LaFayette’s 44-43 Region 6-AAAA basketball semifinal victory against Heritage on Thursday night at Southeast Whitfield.

Alex Kelehear, though, brought down the curtain.

After Morgan put the Ramblers on his shoulders in a first half in which he scored 23 of their 25 points, fellow guard Kelehear made the game-winning shot with five seconds to play as LaFayette (22-3) earned a spot in tonight’s championship game.

The Ramblers will face top-seeded Northwest Whitifleld (17-8), which defeated Ridgeland 70-55 in Thursday’s other boys’ semifinal behind 24 points from Luke Shiflett and 19 from Tanner Boyd.

Ridgeland (10-16) and Heritage (19-8) will play for third place at 5:30 p.m. today.
