Girls basketball team opens with win at Miller County

COLQUITT – Seniors Nacardia Robinson and Kamya Thomas combined for 37 points to lead the Colquitt County girls basketball team to a season-opening 60-51 victory over Miller County on Tuesday in Colquitt. Robinson had an especially productive start to her senior season by scoring 25 points and pulling down 17 rebounds. Thomas added 12 points in the first game of her final season with the Lady Packers. Colquitt led by 20 heading into the final period before the Region 1-A Lady Pirates finished strong, cutting the final margin to nine points. “We kind of let it dwindle down in the fourth quarter,” said Stephanie Cody, starting her third season as Colquitt County girls coach. “But we dug our heels in.” The Lady Packers were building on last Saturday’s 46-31 preseason scrimmage victory at Bainbridge. Cody said she is looking for big a season from her seniors and 12th-grader Azaria Battle also contributed on Tuesday, scoring six points. “I’m really excited for our seniors,” she said.
