Brentwood Academy steamrolls Baylor girls in Division II-AA semifinals
Brentwood Academy will play for its fourth girls state championship in five years after throttling Chattanooga Baylor 73-31 in a Division II-AA semifinal on Friday.
Radford signee Makaila Wilson scored a game-high 22 points and grabbed six rebounds. Teammate Sydni Harvey, a South Florida commitment, added 17 points.
The Lady Eagles (28-2) face Ensworth (24-5) at 5:30 p.m. Saturday at Lipscomb University's Allen Arena. Ensworth defeated Brentwood Academy 57-38 in last year's championship game which snapped BA's string of three straight titles.

Harvey, who was the DII-AA Miss Basketball in 2017 and is a finalist for the award this year, did not play in that game due to a Grade 2 shoulder sprain. This year, though, she is healthy.
"We're all super excited to be here," Wilson said. "I think we all want to win because for some of us this will be our last time playing together. We have five seniors. We want to do it for each other."
Raegan Conley led Baylor (20-10) with seven points. The fourth quarter was played with a running clock due to the TSSAA's mercy rule.
