There is always a benefit to having that “next man up mentality” amongst a team, because you never know what can transpire over the course of four quarters.

For the Reeltown girls basketball team, it had to find out in the moment. Sarenthia McKethern, who has served as the primary scorer and rebounder, found herself in foul trouble fairly early against Dadeville. Standing at 6-foot-2, her presence on the court is valuable, but when she’s off, that means new faces need to answer the call.
