BUFORD — The White County girls basketball team did just about the same thing coach Buster Brown has seen it do numerous times this season: Come out flat in the first half. This time, the Lady Warriors were able to make up for it after halftime. Sophomore Paige Thomas scored 16 of her team-high 20 points in the second half to lead White County to a 37-32 win against North Hall in the opening round of the Region 7-AAA Tournament at Buford High, securing the White County girls program its first state tournament berth since 2002.
