Breanna Locke was none too pleased when she was called for travelling late in the third quarter as Flowery Branch was trying to stave off a Cedar Shoals comeback in Tuesday night’s Region 8-AAAAA quarterfinal. She wasn’t about to let the Jaguars capitalize off of it. The senior forward made a momentous block on Jaguars senior Morgan Finch with 50 seconds left in the quarter before collecting the loose ball and heaving a cross-court pass to Kierra Knight, who converted an easy layup that helped guarantee the Lady Falcons a trip to the state playoffs.
