County's COVID-19 cases dip below early October numbers

By Tori Keafer • Staff Writer
The Williamson County Health Department administered thousands of doses of the COVID-19 vaccine last week following Winter Storm Uri as the confirmed active COVID-19 case number for the county has dropped to the lowest it has been since early October.
Williamson County Mayor Rogers Anderson shared during the county's budget committee meeting Monday that, after administering over 4,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine last week, the county still has not wasted a single vial.

Hoops: Page quiets Lady Burros in 2nd half to reach Region 6-AAA final
| |
By David Dawson • Sports Reporter
FRANKLIN — Rather than waiting until March, the Page High School girls basketball team has been in a “madness mindset” for weeks.
And now that March has arrived, the Lady Patriots seem determined to just keep doing their thing.
They notched their 10th straight win on Monday night — and this one was the biggest yet.
Hosting Hillsboro in the semifinals of the Region 6-AAA tournament, the Lady Patriots used a huge second-half scoring run to break open a tight game on their way to a 47-31 victory.
Lili Wilken scored a team-high 16 points, including going 10-of-11 from the foul line, and McKenzie Cochran added 14 points for the top-seeded Lady Patriots, who improved to 19-7 overall. Latazia Williamson scored 11 points to lead No. 2-seeded Hillsboro.

By Charles Pulliam • Multimedia Reporter
ANTIOCH – The pendulum of emotions swung to each extreme for the Brentwood High School girls basketball team Monday. The Lady Bruins went from being in complete control of their Region 6-AAA semifinal – and just a half away from clinching a sectional berth – to fighting to extend their season in a see-saw battle at Cane Ridge.
Those high-fives and smiles from the first half ultimately ended in tears for the Brentwood girls.
The Lady Ravens erased an 18-point halftime deficit and for the first time in school history claimed a region championship berth and potential shot at state, storming back for a 63-60 victory to stun the Lady Bruins.
