Wednesday night’s second-round playoff game between the West Hall girls basketball team and Columbus played out exactly like Lady Spartans coach Bryan Richerson expected. As he told his players before tip-off, the hard-fought contest was decided by big plays on the final few possessions. Six-foot-3 Blue Devils forwards Tatyana Wyatt and Ariyah Copeland took advantage of the mismatch against West Hall’s smaller lineup, just like the coach predicted, but his team’s fierce defense forced other players to take shots at critical moments.
