ATLANTA, GA — Looking to hold first place in Region 2-AAAAAAA, the Carrollton High School boys and girls basketball teams traveled to Westlake Tuesday night for a crucial region matchup.

The Trojan girls started strong, leading at halftime 28-15. The offense picked up in the second half for both teams, but the Trojans maintained control, winning 57-48. Miyah Holmes led the team with 19 points, and Madison Swint finished with 14 points and 13 rebounds. The Lady Trojans have now won 20 games in a row for just the third time in school history (2006-07 and 2020-21) and are holding opponents to an average of 34 points per game.

The Trojan boys needed overtime to pull out a thrilling 68-67 victory over Westlake. Senior Dorian Jordan hit a clutch three-pointer with seconds remaining to send the game to overtime. Despite four players fouling out and playing without a starter due to illness, the Trojans held on and secured the win.
