HIGH POINT — Southwest Guilford’s girls and High Point Christian’s boys made enough key second-half plays to earn tournament titles.
The Cowgirls built a seven-point lead early in the fourth quarter and held on to beat Wesleyan Christian 32-27 in the girls game, while the Cougars went on a 15-0 run in the third to lead big and fended off Forsyth Country Day 62-54 in the boys game Wednesday in the Sheetz Holiday Christmas Classic at Southwest.
Corynn Perkins scored eight points to lead Southwest (8-1), which used a seven-point spurt in the third to lead by five heading to the fourth and stretched it to seven a minute into the final quarter.
Courtney Taylor and Jocelyn Foust, who was named the tournament MVP, each added six points.
Lily Pereira scored nine points to lead the Trojans (10-2), who pulled within three twice during the final 4 1/2 minutes but couldn’t quite pull closer. Lilly McRae added eight points while Madison Tat chipped in four.
In the boys game, Thomas McIntosh scored 23 points to lead HPCA (12-3), which quickly turned a one-lead early in the third into a 16-point lead with three minutes left in the quarter. Darius Kane, the tournament MVP, added 13 points.
Isaiah Sanders and Connor Salyer each contributed nine points as the Cougars fended off the Furies’ rally within five with 1:16 left in the game. But HPCA got just enough free throws and stops the rest of the way to seal it.
