Zakiria Foster is scoring 10 points with five rebounds, six assists and two steals per game. Junior Journi Harris addes eight points and eight rebounds per game.
Lamar County opened the season with a 64-49 victory against Upson-Lee, then defeated Westside-Macon (55-25), Northgate (70-55), Jackson (49-34), Upson-Lee (63-42), Central-Talbotton (67-25), Pike County (72-20) and Trinity Christian (37-32) before losing to Mary Persons (45-30).
