The Riverdale girls went to Columbia and left no doubt they have more basketball to play. They whipped the Lady Lions 65-47 to advance to the quarterfinals. The Lady Warriors had seven three's in the first half and jumped out to a 15 point lead at the half. Columbia's second half comeback attempt was thwarted by a 13-to-two run by Riverdale to end the game. The Lady Warriors were streaky shooting, but when the shots didn't fall, they went to the free throw line, where they were 21-of-24 for 88-percent. They also dominated the Lady Lions with 42 total rebounds to Columbia's 29. Alexa Middleton had 23 points, Shelbie Davenport 18 and Hannah Pendergrass 12. Columbia, ranked fifth in the last Triple-A girls poll, sees their season end at the hands of number eight Riverdale.

The Lady Warriors will play number one Blackman Monday night at 7:30 with a region finals on the line and a sectional berth. The Lady Blaze torched Franklin County 55-to-8. The Lady Rebels only had 2 points at halftime.
