Chestatee girls coach Web Daniel hopes that this is the season his program cracks through with its first Lanierland tournament championship, but to make that happen they’ll have to go through undefeated Flowery Branch. On Thursday, the Lady War Eagles (10-1) rallied past North Hall with excellent fourth-quarter free throw shooting (12 of 13) and the inside presence of senior Maegan Kenimer for a 46-41 semifinal victory at Gainesville. With the win, Chestatee will face Flowery Branch (11-0), a 57-33 winner over East Hall, in the Lanierland title game at 6 p.m. Saturday at North Hall.
