South Gibson won the last time they faced Dyer County and things went their way on Monday too. The South Gibson Hornets came out on top against the Dyer County Choctaws by a score of 52-39. Given the Hornets' advantage in MaxPreps' Tennessee basketball rankings (they are ranked 37th, while the Choctaws are ranked 164th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

South Gibson's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Faith Reed led the charge by shooting 56% from the field on her way to 15 points and six boards. What's more, Reed also posted a 75% three-point shooting accuracy, which is the highest she's achieved since back in December of 2024. Another player making a difference was Serenity Johnson, who posted 16 points.

South Gibson was working as a unit and finished the game with 12 assists. They are 25-4 when they've passed the ball that well.

South Gibson has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 26-7 record this season. Dyer County has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 11-15 record this season.

South Gibson has already played their next matchup (against Dyersburg), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing. Dyer County does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
