GA AAAA Boys B-Ball second round updates

The second round is in the books and only 8 teams remain on eight on the guys’ side. Overall No. 1 Westlake, behind another strong showing from Oklahoma-bound Raymond Willis, is set to go against Rashad Hassan and Riverdale, the Region 4-AAAA champion. Willis netted 38 points in Westlake’s 74-69 second round win and he has 56 points in the first two games. Elsewhere No. 2-yet still a 3-seed Columbia struggled from the free throw line, hitting only 15-32, but still advanced to face Tony Woods and Rome in the quarter-finals. On the other side of the draw, Noel Johnson recorded 28 points, one game after hitting for 30 and Fayette County survived to face Jonesboro, who eeked out a one point win over Statesboro. The final quadrant finds No. 4 Lithia Springs facing No. 3 Miller Grove and the key match-up will be Lithia Spring’s Jeremy Flagg against Miller Grove’s Mfon Udofia, who struggled to find his shot in the second round. Miller Grove was averaging 70 ppg before only tallying 59 in the win over Cherokee.
I'll have more on the girls' side of the bracket tomorrow, as they play tonight.
