Video: Wade Hampton Girls Fall To Dorman In Upper State Final

Despite playing in its first year at the AAAA level this year, Wade Hampton's girls basketball team still found itself Friday where it was a year ago - playing in the Upper State title game. 

The outcome, however, was decidedly different this year. The Lady Generals, who decively defeated Clinton a year ago to advance to the State Title game, dropped a thriller to Dorman High on Friday night. 

Wade Hampton lost 49-45, despite impressive scoring performances by guards Rebecca Spry and Nikki Young. 

The Generals were trailing 23-17 at halftime, but surged early in the second quarter, at one point scoring five unanswered points to take a 30-29 lead. 

But in the end, Dorman's quickness and pressure defense did enough to disrupt the Generals half-court offense down the stretch. Down 47-42 with under a minute left, Spry knocked down a 3-pointer to give WHHS a glimmer of hope, cutting the lead to two, but the Cavaliers knocked down their foul shots in a one-and-one trip at the free-throw line after being fouled while inbounding the ball. 

The Generals finished the season at 23-4.
