Ben’s Ford Christian School’s season came to a close on Tuesday with a 48-36 loss to Prairie View Academy in the first round of the 2022 South 3A Basketball Tournament at Providence Classical Academy.

Natalie Seal scored 10 points to lead Ben’s Ford.

Ashlyn Dantin posted eight.

Laci Branch had seven.

Noel Martin tallied five.

Abby Descant put up four.

Sylvia Rosa had two.

Ben’s Ford had three seniors in Letizia Divisi, Sophia Tranquillini and Rosa.

“Letizia Divisi is from Italy and Sophia Tranquillini is from Brazil. Both were foreign exchange students and it was a blessing to see them grow through the year. We pray that we were a blessing to them as well; they will be missed,” Ben’s Ford Christian School coach Mark McGehee said. “Sylvia Rosa has been playing ball for the Lady Eagles since the seventh grade. Sylvia has been a vital part of the team, and I hate to see her go. I am looking forward to seeing her succeed in all her endeavours. Sylvia will be missed and she will be an Eagle forever.

Prairie View Academy came in third place and moves to the Class 3A Tournament, as the top four teams move on to the class tournament.
