The Flowery Branch Lady Falcons have learned that whenever times are rough or things “start going awry,” the team can count on senior point guard Tavia Sykes to take over and make a difference both on the court and on the sideline. Although Sykes is an experienced player for the Falcons, taking a leadership role and becoming a player the team relies on has been difficult for her. “It’s not easy for her,” Flowery Branch coach Hazel Hall said, “we kind of have to force her into it.”
