<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Washington County</strong></h2>   <p>The Golden Hawks went 19-9 last season, losing in the Sweet 16 at Banks County. The backcourt duo of [player_tooltip player_id='743546' first='Jade' last='Kitchens'] and [player_tooltip player_id='900781' first='Aeria' last='Hagans'] returns. One of the best guards in Middle Georgia, Kitchens is the straw that stirs the drink. The athletic guard is shifty and sees the floor well. Her nose for the ball leads to impact on both ends of the floor. She averaged 12.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.4 steals per game as a sophomore. Hagans likes to space the floor with her jump shot, putting up 13.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.3 steals per game.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Bremen</strong></h2>   <p>Bremen finished 17-10 with a Sweet 16 berth. The Blue Devils top two players return, headlined by one of the more intriguing sleepers in the state [player_tooltip player_id='1258329' first='Marley' last='Derringer'], a strong framed terrific athlete who committed to UGA for track and field. The double-double machine is part of a senior-heavy group with Annabelle Langley, [player_tooltip player_id='1258617' first='Anna' last='Claire Arp'] and Shelby Underwood. The Blue Devils once again will have chances at securing a signature win as they pushed Region 6 foe Model to the brink multiple times.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Armuchee</strong></h2>   <p>Armuchee lost in the First Round to Rabun County, falling on a buzzer beater to end the year 20-8. [player_tooltip player_id='1258621' first='Kelsey' last='Arp'] is a quick-footed playmaker with a high motor while [player_tooltip player_id='1258622' first='Aubrey' last='McConkey'] is a steady forward who plays bigger than her size. Tori Vitello joins the two juniors as an important senior leader.</p>   <p></p>
