MOULTRIE, Ga. — The Lady Packers basketball team beat the Thomasville Lady Bulldogs 48-26 in a scrimmage game Monday night on the William Bryant Court at Colquitt County High School.

“We’re developing kids to be ready to play by January,” said Coach Rondesha Williams.

“We’re very small, so we’re going to play man-to-man, be disciplined playing man-to-man, run the floor, make lay ups, move the ball around.

“Tonight will give us a chance to look at what we need to work on in-depth and that’s boxing out and weak side help.”

Williams is entering her 15th year as Lady Packer’s head coach. She has a 264-136 record.
