Pickens County downs Meek to advance to regional semifinal
Pickens County’s Jawan Petty (10) and Meek’s Caleb Aaron (3) battle for the opening tip in the Tornadoes’ 85-60 subregional win over the Tigers.

Pickens County was able to withstand a scoring barrage by Meek due Payton Key and Caleb Aaron last Tuesday night to win 85-60 in the subregional playoff and advance to the northwest regional semifinals in Hanceville. Key finished the game with 35 points, while Aaron added 18, as the two career 1,000-point accounted for 53 of Meek’s 60 points. The Tornadoes would use a stingy full-court press, however, to pull away and win comfortably.
