The Dunwoody Lady Wildcats rallied from a 30-24 halftime deficit with 37 second half points to knock off the Chamblee Lady Bulldogs in a Region 4-5A high school girls’ basketball contest at Dunwoody on Friday night.

Erika Blake fueled the third quarter rally, scoring 10 consecutive points in a 10-2 run by the Lady Wildcats (7-10, 2-7) to regain the lead at 36-34 on a layup by Blake with 4:22 to play in the period. It was Dunwoody’s first lead since a 12-9 advantage with 2:45 to play in the first quarter.

The lead got up to 46-37 on a shot by Barnes with 2:04 to play in the third. Chamblee (3-10, 0-8) picked up a pair of baskets Brianna Wood in the final 57 seconds of the quarter to pull within in 46-41 with a quarter of play remaining.

Chamblee pulled within three twice in the first three minutes of the fourth quarter before Lilah Wenner got a put back off an offensive rebound and Johara Bello followed with 10-foot shot just 22 seconds later to push the lead back out to 53-46.

Wenner put up six points in a span of two minutes as the lead climbed to 59-48 with 1:07 to play. The teams traded baskets by Emma Harron (Chamblee) and Grace Brinson (Dunwoody) in the final 45 seconds to make the final of 61-50.
