BAY MINETTE, Alabama – The Baldwin County High School girls and boys basketball teams swept the Class 6A Area 3 finals on Monday with wins over the Daphne Trojans and Robertsdale Lady Golden Bears.

The BCHS girls (14-9) started the game on an 11-0 run and never trailed on the way to a 40-35 win over Robertsdale (14-13). By virtue of winning the area title the Lady Tigers will host Northview , while the Lady Golden Bears will travel to Enterprise on Thursday in the sub-region round.

Baldwin County used its fast-paced transition offense to take the early lead against Robertsdale, scoring most of its first period baskets on breakaway layups.

“We want to push the tempo, that’s what we are best at,” Baldwin County head coach Robert Wills said. “We aren’t always mentally focused on offense when we have to slow down so I try to let them play to their strengths.”

Tournament MVP Latia Pullum had 17 points in the win and Jennifer Modispacher scored eight for the Lady Tigers in the win. Robertsdale’s Maddy Petite led all scorers with 18 points and Austin Richardson scored nine.

Pullum scored 44 points in two games in the area tournament.

“I can always count on Latia,” Wills said of the Pullum’s MVP performance in the tournament. “She is the same way in practice, she is always ready. She has come a long way as a player and as a person and I’m am proud of her.”

Pullum scored 44 points in two games to lead the All-Tournament team. Her BCHS teammates Modispacher, Darnisha Maye and Savannah Hollis were also named to the All-Tournament team. Richardson, Petite and teammate Ophelia Daughtry, along with Foley’s Brittney Davis and Payton Kiser, Daphne’s Kadisha Koen and Brinesha Mason and Fairhope’s Imani Kirksey rounded out the All-Tournament team.

Baldwin County’s Tigers never trailed in a 70-64 win over Daphne in the 6A Area 3 boys championship game.

The Tigers took a 17-12 lead after one period and opened up a 38-23 lead at the half. The Trojans closed the gap in the fourth but could not get closer than six points. BCHS will host Enterprise in the sub-region round, while Daphne will visit Northview.

Baldwin County’s Xavier Dortch led all scorers with 23 points and teammate Justin Mayes scored 17. Daphne’s Ronnie Davis had 19, Devonte Young 14 and Chris Sain 10 in the loss for Daphne. The Trojans made just 10-of-34 free throws in the loss.

Baldwin County’s Andre Cox, Jaquan Finch, Mayes and Dortch led the All-Tournament team. Davis, Sain, Young, Fairhope’s Nate Andrews and Rushing Watson, Robertsdale’s Alphonso Stewart and Foley’s Alontai Adams also made the All-Tournament team.
