Georgia Tech pulls off big upset

          McCamish Pavilion was less than 70 percent full, but those on hand walked away thrilled with Georgia Tech’s 64-58 win over No. 5 Louisville.

Tech’s last top-5 win was Jan. 9, 2016 against No. 4 Virginia, 68-64.

The Yellow Jackets led from start to finish, avenging a four-point loss at Louisville about three weeks ago and gain a signature win.

New home, same Demons

          Warner Robins won its seventh straight region title in boys basketball and is a top seed in the GHSA tournament.

          Big difference: This year’s first playoff game will be Warner Robins’ first game in its brand new gym, more of a small arena, part of a $10 million building.

          Coming Thursday.
