More
often
than,
talented
sophomore
Chris
Fleming
is
the
man
Haysi
relies
on
for
offense
in
crunch
time.
With
the
season
on
the
line,
however,
a
senior,
whose
career
was
on
the
line,
stepped
to
the
front.
Cody
Yates
scored
16
of
his
game-high
18
points
in
the
second
half
to
lead
the
Tigers
past
Hurley,
49-46,
in
the
Black
Diamond
District
tournament
play-in
game
Saturday
night
at
Clinchco
Elementary
School.
A
senior
guard,
Yates
led
a
9-0
run
midway
through
the
fourth
quarter
to
give
Haysi
(9-14)
the
lead
for
good.
He
hit
three
driving
layups
in
the
final
3:45,
including
a
go-ahead
bucket
that
gave
the
Tigers
a
43-42
advantage
with
2:30
remaining.
Yates
added
another
key
basket
to
make
it
47-44
with
23
seconds
remaining.

After
a
10-day
layoff,
Haysi
put
the
pressure
on
early
and
left
little
to
chance.
The
Lady
Tigers
showed
few,
if
any,
effects
from
the
layoff,
handing
Hurley
a
63-29
setback
in
the
play-in
game
in
the
Black
Diamond
District
girls
tournament
play-in
game
Saturday
at
Clinchco
Elementary
School.
The
Lady
Tigers
held
the
Lady
Rebels
scoreless
the
first
11:49
of
the
game,
building
a
19-0
lead
and
using
pressure
defense
to
hold
Hurley
to
just
three
points
in
the
first
half.
Hurley
(3-20)
finally
got
on
the
board
on
a
stickback
by
Patricia
Citarelli
with
4:11
remaining
in
the
first
half.
Jazmine
Counts
scored
14
of
her
game-high
20
points
before
halftime,
helping
Haysi
earn
a
30-3
advantage
at
the
break.
Haysi
forced
20
turnovers
in
the
first
half,
including
11
in
the
opening
period,
and
forced
29
turnovers
overall.
