Boyd Buchanan junior guard Dani Reeves could not be stopped on her home court in Monday’s Division II-A East Region quarterfinals.
Reeves scored a game-high 26 points to spark the Lady Buccaneers to a 51-41 victory over visiting The King’s Academy in a postseason elimination game. She drained a trio of shots from beyond the arc as she helped her team secure three more games, including a spot in next week’s TSSAA Division II-A state tournament first round.
Boyd Buchanan (22-6) only allowed 13 first-half points and senior Jalisa Sanders was tough to handle as the explosive guard scored 15 points.
Tracey Walker’s team has matched the program’s previous highest win total, which came in the 2015-16 season when the program made a trip to the Class A sectionals.
