Joining the three Lady Mustangs in the contest is Carroll’s Dru Chamblee, a 5-foot-7 senior guard for the 12-13 Lady Rebels, who lost 43-34 to Marshall in the North 4A Tournament.
The 2A/3A girls game starts at 1:30 p.m., followed by the 2A/3A boys game. The 4A/5A/6A boys game will conclude the evening at 6:30 p.m.
