Aliyah Johnson and Keera Jackson combined for 44 points to help the Richmond Hill Lady Wildcats defeat north fourth seed Lakeside Evans in Region 2-AAAA quarterfinal action Wednesday night.
The win puts Richmond Hill (23-2) in the girls' Class AAAA playoffs and sets up a semifinal matchup with Liberty County.

Lakeside jumped out early and established an 8-0 lead before Richmond Hill got on the board but Lady Cats Head Coach Elizabeth Bennett did not hit the panic button.

“We start slow and I know that. Even we were down early and shots weren’t falling I wasn’t worried in the first quarter. I am learning to really trust the girls because we are fine once we get over the first quarter,” Bennett said.
