NASHVILLE — Nashville caught the final wave of momentum and rode it to a 46-38 win over Sesser-Valier-Waltonville in the championship game of the Nashville Class 2A girls regional.
After a tight first half, Sesser-Valier-Waltonville put together a 16-0 run in the third quarter to take a 35-27 lead into the fourth quarter. That advantage grew to nine points when Brooke Wilderman canned a trey with 7:09 remaining in the game.
“If you would have told me we’d have Nashville down nine in the fourth quarter I would have taken it,” S-V-W Coach Rick Metcalf said. “We knew they were going to hold their composure. We just had to offset their runs. They made a gigantic run there at the end.”
Paige Tucker led the way for the Lady Devils with 11, and Sami McCowen added 10 on the night. 
Congratulations to the Lady Devils on another fine season, finishing 25-3. It was two basketball powerhouses battling it out last night.
