The Greenback School Lady Cherokees were on the cusp of spoiling the District 2-1A top-ranked Cosby High School Lady Eagles' perfect district record after reclaiming a three-point lead midway through the fourth quarter.
After leading by two to start the fourth, Greenback sophomore guard Kierra Bishop drained a three to extend the Lady Cherokees' lead with 4:05 remaining.Â
