The Wardlaw Academy guys had a first round game with Newberry Academy on Tuesday to determine if they would advance in the tournament.In the opening game, Wardlaw's Elizabeth Stone scored nine of her game-high 23 points in the second quarter helping the team to a 27-17 halftime lead. Stone also had a good night on defense with five steals. As a team, Wardlaw finished the night with 14 steals. Stone was the only player in double figures with points, but teammates Kara Beck and Anna Yarborough combined for 21 rebounds. Wardlaw Academy's Lady Patriots returned and had their dream season come to an end with a 41-27 victory over Laurens Academy to claim the South Carolina Independent School's Class A State basketball championship in Sumter Saturday.
