          Warner Robins did its part to set up a huge Central Georgia and statewide showdown in Allatoona.

          And then, so did Upson-Lee.

          The Demons beat Aquinas 70-62 Friday night in the Lake City Classic in Allatoona, then sat around and watched Upson-Lee get past Huffman, Alabama  72-63 to set up a mammoth meeting Saturday night in the tournament championship with a pair of top-ranked unbeatens.

          Jacolbey Owens nailed eight 3-pointers, five in the third quarter, en route to 32 points for the Demons, who got a 22-point, 10-rebound game from Nelson Phillips.

          The foursome of Tye Fagan, JaCorey Smith, Cam Traylor and Travon Walker teamed for 61 points in the Knights’ 47th straight win.

          Many scores and schedule updates are need, and will be posted upon reception.
