The Lady Tigers will start their march toward what they hope is their first state title as they take on the 26-7 Marshall County squad at MTSU Wednesday.
Tip time is 1:15 p.m. in Murfreesboro. The Lady Tigers advanced to the elite eight by beating McMinn Central in the sub-state this past weekend. They are the third game Wednesday with their arch nemesis Macon County, who holds three wins over the DeKalb in three meetings, playing first on Wednesday at 10 a.m. against Chetham County. Macon moved up to number-one in the state in Monday's AP high school poll. Should DeKalb win they will face the winner of Westview and South Green in the semi-finals on Friday. They cannot meet Macon County for a fourth time unless they meet in the state finals. Advance tickets are onsale by going to https://gofan.co/app/school/TSSAA.
