Here is a look at how area teams faired this weekend during high school hoops action.

Brookhaven High

The Brookhaven High Lady Panthers (18-1, 2-0) won their eighth game in a row on Friday night when they held off the Forest Hill Lady Patriots 51-50 in south Jackson. BHS trailed 24-21 at halftime.

Senior forward Tamia Stallings led BHS with 12 points and 12 rebounds. Junior forward Silentianna Collins scored 11 points and handed out four assists. On the final BHS possession of the game the Lady Panthers led 49-47 coming out of a timeout with under 20 seconds to play. Forest Hill elected not to foul, and Collins got into the middle of the defense where she dished off to Stallings for a game-sealing layup. Forest Hill then raced down for a 3-pointer at the buzzer that provided the final margin.

“We were able to find a way to win,” said BHS head coach Preston Wilson. “Foul trouble and turnovers hampered us.”

BHS finished shooting 32 percent from the floor as a team and starting point guard Ashanti Louis fouled out.

“We got some good production from Cynphoni Thompson, Miyah Miller and Keyana Benjamin throughout the game to help us while we battled foul trouble,” said Wilson. “We’ve got some things to clean up defensively.”

In the boys’ game the Panthers (15-3, 1-1) saw their eight-game win streak snapped as Forest Hill dominated for a 90-48 win. Forest Hill finished as region champs last season on their way to a runner-up finish in the 5A state tournament.

BHS is off until Friday when they travel to Wingfield for another region contest. Forest Hill will visit Brookhaven on Jan. 22 for two games in Sinclair Gymnasium.
