Chestatee High’s girls basketball team pulled within one point of Banks County late Friday night, but couldn’t overcome a 12-point first-half deficit down the stretch. The Lady Leopards (6-3) defeated the Lady War Eagles (4-4) 39-36 in Gainesville, but it wasn’t without being tested. With two minutes left to play, Brooklyn Popham made a layup to cut the Lady Leopard lead to 37-35.
