JACKSON- Shante Morton had 17 points and 10 rebounds to lift the Majors to a 66-59 win over Berry.

The Majors and Vikings semi final went the way a semi final should: close, competitive and hard fought. The Majors had the early edge on Saturday, grabbing a 16-8 lead on the back of a pair of free throws and jumpers by Miah Brooks. The Vikings, as they did all game long, had an answer for every Major run, quickly tying the game at 18. The Vikings would soar ahead and led for most of the final minutes of the first half. Morton drained a step-back three as time expired in the first half to give the Majors much needed momentum and tie the game at 31.

Five quick points from senior Lovie Love gave the Majors an early second half surge. The Vikings would answer and keep the game extremely close, tying the game at 38 and again 43. A Makayla Roberson three gave the Majors a five-point cushion and a little breathing room.

Seniors Love and Morton would keep the Majors offense going with jumpers and the Majors extended their lead to as many as nine. A final Berry push would get them no closer than four and the Majors iced the game at the free throw line to punch their ticket to the first SAA title game.

Morton headed the box score with her double double and was joined by Lovie Love and Miah Brooks in double figures with 10 and 11 respectfully. Shatoya White dropped six helpers to lead the Majors.

Prior to the game, the Majors were awarded their SAA regular season trophy. They will look to add more hardware tomorrow against the winner of Rhodes/Hendrix. Tip time for tomorrow's final is 2pm central.
