The Bolivar Middle School Boys Basketball team and the Toone Girls team qualified for the Middle School Sectional tournament in Memphis by winning their semifinal games in the Area 6 Middle School Basketball tournament in Whiteville.
Toone, who bowed out against Fayette West in the semifinals a year ago, came back from three down in the final minutes to win 35-32. Carly Daniel led Toone with 12 points.
“We fell behind but we fought back and won. I’m so proud of these girls,” said Coach Dion Thornton.
Toone advanced to face St. Mary’s in the final.
The Bolivar boys also advanced to the sectional tournament with a 50-29 win over St. Marys on Monday and a championship final game with Fayette East.
